Production Confessions Confidential

[Jizz]

some of you seem to work at really rapid rates, going through 20 different effect chains and 5 tunes a day and shit... it takes me a good 10 days to finish 1 tune lol. I do deliberately space out my production quite a bit to a few hours a day though, I find myself a lot more productive that way even if it means longer time needed to finish tunes

i wish i was caspa

[efence]

for the first time in a couple weeks i have 2-3 hours free to make music but i'm going to play L4D2 instead.

[Crimsonghost]

World or Warcraft used to be more important than making music.

[Crimsonghost]

10 years of learning music and I still can't write a decent tune.

I'm still wondering why the fuck that Baphomet is playing that guitar?!?

Sometimes I just get into a groove and I've become fast enough with my daw and familiar enough with certain effects to where I don't get slowed down by technical stuff and I don't waste time doing minor tweaks. I have enough control over the sounds so that I don't get myself stuck when in a creative flow. That's why I'm reluctant to learn or use another daw. When I'm in renoise, it's like I have everything at my waist, ready to draw from a tool belt. When I'm in reaper, I it's like I have to walk back to a toolbox to grab what I need. I'm not knocking reaper though; I've seen some people who do some next level editing with it.
Also the tempo can make a difference

I was shit faced at a party one time and every there kind of knew that I produced "dubstep" and stuff like that, and these girls asked me about it and i told them I was going to university for sound design.

shit was so cash

oh and it pisses me off to no end when people are like "oh you produce music? thats sick, i rap" and then usually go on to ask if i would make them so dope beatz to "spit" to.

Rapping on a small scale, if you don't have a story or any reason to rap is a lazy, unmotivated, usually stoners excuse to label themselves as a musical person. fucking white people

I tire of tracks so quickly that a good proportion of my tracks end up as 8Bar.

I've been lurking for ages because I couldn't be arsed to sign up and join in. On that note, hello.

2) I'm lazy at sound design. I sit on a synth, twat about for a bit and unless I hit something interesting, I get frustrated and quit. I'll work on that.

[Cryoshok]

I let drama with women distract me from being productive in music :\
