There were just too many.

how do you go about writing down ideas becuase im constantly getting good ideas wen im possibly days away from my pc and ive never found a way to recommunicate the dieas to myself through written form effectively!

thing about breaks is, they are best when you aren't planning on them

i wouldn't say for sure that you shouldn't touch a beat for X amount of time, just go with the flow. take things as they come. whether that means taking care of real life shit , having fun, or woodshedding beats for a month...

Yep I'm also wondering.

^ with a laptop and a daw synth/samples you know real well

after probably around 2 months of owning FL, i really havnt had the chance to even start! let alone take a break,
and its all because of exams, coursework, and all of that shizznet. so for me its just been steady progression,
or staying up until 4am making myself do something! so yeah, essentially ive been on a break since i started

but once my exams are fully out of the way (15th june) i plan to really crack down
and start pumping out the tunes. as for now im just slowly building my knowledge
as and when i have the time to do so.

i take breaks when my equipment breaks and, it breaks all the time.

I've got a piece of equipment that is just not receiving midi right now. Thus I'm reading dsf...
