im addicted to music production! 2016-02-03 17:13:15


Whenever I got a spare moment I'm either working on a track or making a sound in serum/massive or messing about creating loops. When I'm not doing this I'm watching a tutorial or reading manual bits for my saw or looking up mixing tips. Damn its addicting, guess its better than being addicted to drugs haha. Anyone else the same?

I'm either making music, browsing Newgrounds, or playing rhythm games.
The bad part is that I'm not doing homework.

Well, being addicted to crack leads to a broken bank, criminal record and crippling health issues. Being addicted to music making leads to piles of awesome music.

Music production for me heavily depends on emotional and spiritual frequency. That way, I can never be addicted -- because I know I'll have my high points, and most especially my low ones. I'm going through the latter right now.

Same, but maybe more extreme. Sometimes I feel so empty and uncreative, that I don't do anything music related (except listening). In those phases I sometimes play for 5 minutes or so with my DAW until I am frustrated. And then sometimes I feel so enthusiastic that I make music for 8-10 hours straight. So pretty much mood based, too.

I understand what you're getting at, and I feel the same. At least, these days, I've been this way. I hope it passes...

No, I have other things I enjoy doing. However if I'm on psycho-stimulants I can sit in a DAW all day and work.
I produced one of my EPs in 2 days.XD Didn't sleep.

Also with watching tutorials, they're so boring, I like hands on learning more, like with a friend beside me who also produces and we exchange tips. I also never know if I should really listen to them, or if following their lesson will make me develop a bad habit.

I tend to not compose often but study and learn quite a bit and then when do actually make something its usually just testing my skills and applying recently gained knowledge and not for an actual complete track with a lot of effort

Even when I have clipping sometimes, im like "I now HOW to fix it, so its not important I fix it, since Im content with just knowing how"

ultra laziness

Not really, it could have been "I know how to make music, but I'm content with just knowing how."


Musicwise i spend lots of time creating synth patches, that i will probably never use :) I keep most of them in an idea folder though. I should make some random massive or fm8 garbage giveaway pack.

I watch alot of tutorials, i think are useful but soooo boring and painful to watch^^
Because 90% of the time the person talking seems sooooooooo depressed, as if they are going to cry or kill themselves^^ "Hey guys my name is ... and today im gonna show you how to... kill yourself with a saw aaaaa i dont want to do tutorials anymoaaar"
I get it they are focusing, but monotone voice => monotone tutorials.
All the while creating awesome energetic sounds ahah, that's weird.

Either that or the guy vomits 320987387562389 words per second, spits and burps in the mic.

When i lack inspiration in music i draw something, and vice versa.
If nothing works, taking a short walk outside usually helps. Also chocolate. Chocolate solves everything.


Salut!

I create 3D art here, and you can listen to my album there! Comments/Feedback appreciated.

I too think of production in every free time. Sometimes I watch tutorials, I try exploring different genres and forget to do my study assignments. xP

Holy shit this is literally me right now. I reinstalled Academy a week ago xD

On a note to the thread, I too have been messing around with a lot of music lately! It's addicting!
