I dare you to do this for a whole year straight. It will go viral

Easy solution. Listen to more music that uses different scales than blues. Problem solved.

Remember, your subconscious which you use to create music is merely a regurgitation device. Give it something new to regurgitate

I just threw away about half of my belongings.

Before it felt like I had 20 mental processes running at a time, and now it feels like I have 2 or 3

I apologize for cheesing on you earlier. You have brought up some good points to be aware of. Alas, despite my enthusiasm I still have not achieved the success I am after, but I am slowly inching towards it. All I know is enthusiasm makes the long, hard journey more fun! and boy is it long and hard. But in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. and if you keep one eye open with a little bit of enthusiasm, you can go through the motions necessary to achieve your goals. But make sure you set very specific goals. Music, and life in general are too broad to have blurry nondescript goals.

Do you want nondescript results? No you want to dj your music to cheering fans. You want 100,000 listens on your youtube video.

I think people who make it big in music end up unhappy because they assume that they need to spend every minute of every day writing music. then they burn out on it

One of the ironic parts of music is that inspiration comes to you based on what music you listen to, what music you want to write, and it usually hits you when you aren't doing anything musically related

I recently bought a zoom H1 recorder, and take it everywhere I go. Whenever I have musical inspiration, I put it out and record it. So basically by spending most of my time hanging with friends, and relaxing, and only 6-7 hours a week on music, I have written more awesome music than before when I would spend 30-40 hours a week in the summer.

Less is more in creative pursuits. But only if that less is very focused, and concentrated

Truth is, long gone are the days where I enjoyed the enthusiasm of a goal set too high, I think I was even around your age.
... Then reality struck, and boy was it ever a bitch.

But in any case, good luck, and make sure you're in it just as much for the joy of writing as you are for the hope of making it big, because at some point, one of those 2 things is going to disappear.

Bullshit.

This hackneyed thinking is the reason why YOU are not big right now.

It is more than possible to be big and enjoy writing the entire way, and bang a whole hell of a lot of groupies in the process.

How do you get good at writing music you enjoy. By writing music you enjoy. How do you get big. By writing music others enjoy.

Find out which popular music you connect with most and write that. problem solved. and you didn't even need to worry about whether or not it came from your heart or not either.

Your music has nothing to do with you as an individual. The music you create is a set of sounds recorded onto some medium, mostly digital these days. You put sounds together through whatever means. Other people listen to it and enjoy it.

When you are dead, and everyone who listened to your music is dead, it wont really matter whether or not you wrote eccentric tunes only you could connect with on an intellectual ego level or you wrote mainstream tunes in whatever genre.

Whatever you do, new dubstep producer, don't get your ego involved with your music. Or you end up on an internet forum decrying new, excited producers with your hardened depressed experiences.

It is vital as a producer that you set goals, and associate with those who are achieving what you want to achieve, be it in person or through proxy by listening to your favorite dubstep producers music or reading an autobiography of john lennon.

You end up like who who spend time around, physiologically or physically. Literally. The opinions of hardened depressed defeated individuals can be discounted and ignored. Do you want to be a hardened depressed defeated dubstep producer. I didn't think so.

DO NOT take any advice from people living in their parents basement unless you want to end up living in your parents basement. Including me.

trololol

Oversaturated just like Metal and classical music?

I like to think I make my own brand of both metal and classical... I've been told I do too... So I am by default void of any cliché in terms of genre. Besides... I don't sit down and decide to write a song in any particular genre... I sit down and play my guitar/keyboard until I come up with something I like, if it happens to fall into any particular genre, so be it.

Fair enough.

Just remember, every genre is saturated with crap. Quite a few genres are devoid of great examples of their genre.

It is the constant challenge of music producers to write music that reaches the peak you can achieve in whatever genre you are going after

After all, turds are turds

RAW VEGANISM

do it faggot

But what is there to eat besides salad and steamed vegetables? and how do you curve munchies from weed? also whats so bad about meat? non-chemical-y raised fish and chicken and buffalo and ostridge are all great. There's good kinds of fat in a lot of types of cheese too, not to mention the calcium that isnt in veggies. VEGANS ARE THE REAL FAGGOTS.

No... what I need to do is just general healthy diet, no cold turkey insanity like veganism. No processed food, small frequent portions, and exercise, BAM. Still hard as tits to do consistently.

Good catch. Internet advice is always bad. Carry on with your current lifestyle habits without making any changes. But from now on whenever you look at whatever food you are currently eating, You will forever think to yourself "man I have this faint desire to lose a bunch of weight but it's not happening, maybe the food in front of me isn't conducive to my goals"

You'll be back. They always come back
