Consistency of Workflow

Post by mlh295 » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:41 pm

Some days when I'm working on tunes, I'll be totally inspired and everything just seems to be going right. Other days, I'll work for hours and hate everything I make. Sometimes it can be really hard to get inspired and get a tune going. When the pros are in the studio, are they able to consistently make great stuff? Or are they like me where somedays they just can't seem to produce anything good? If you experience this sort of thing, what do you do on those bad days?

If you aren't feeling creative, don't force it.

production isn't all about creation. At times when the muse is taking a smoke break, there's always umpteen thousand other bits of work to get done. organize samples, work out an arrangement for some other song idea, build synth patches, etc, etc.
