I had an idea. If you have a total mental block or your music is going shitty then do this: Stop working on the track. Now, every time you get and idea for the track, write it down. Do this for a month, then at the end of the month you'll have a glorious list of ideas for your track. I'm doing this at the moment and I feel it's going to work. |

i dont know how to write down ideas. what do you do? notes, chords pictures? i just go blahdee balrrrr and then nosie then wee finish |

|
|
well if it's a tune, then write down the notes. if it's a technique then write down what you would do with the knobs. or even just write down what the idea is like in your head "fade out so and so, bring in 3rd drum set, apply fx for a few seconds" kinda thing |

Holy shit, ideas you say? Writing? This is too much for me to handle, man. |

I once tried writing my ideas down. I ended up with a cheesy symphony that I didn't have a symphony orchestra to arrange it for... I plotted it in midi, and it was some grand stuff with a funky bassline and microbeats. it sounded like crap, though. |

|
yeah i could never write down, 'filter drums through bandpass, delay the snare then twist the ohter knob weeeee' i just work and then just get loads of sounds. then just mash them all up and make a song |

To make a good bunch of songs you have to either not work at all and let the spirits of dead circus clowns do the work, or you have to work like a bastard for a year. Compromise leads to mediocrity. |

or not? |

i find that if an idea is that good, it will stick with you, and you won't need to write it down. if you can't remember it, it was probably shit anyway |
