not in my experience - most of my friends are cool and a lot of them are into similar music, but they're way too nice about my tunes. Just like "this is great, good work dude" isn't helping me out.


it is good to get out of your house and hang out with friends for a bit though, puts you in a good mood which you can channel back into production.

Fair enough - a lot of the people I'll play stuff to are honest enough with me to tell me what's shit or not. If a friend who's into techno tells me the track is sounding a bit loopy, I know it's a bad thing :lol:

Or just listening to them...today I've got a copy of Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian to listen to after being recommended it.

Haha yeah if it's sounding repetitive to a techno head....:lol:


What other genres does everyone listen to? In order to find more variety, I've been trying to listen to some jazz and blues lately, but tbh I really don't like about 80% of it. What other genres do people listen to in their spare time, just for fun and/or to get inspiration?

All anyone's style is, is what else they're into outside of what they're trying to produce.
