Re: How does your girlfriend/wife feel about you producing?

Dr. Fuse's guide to maintaining a good balance between your music and your girlfriend/wife.

1. Never let her affect your productions, except for giving inspiration. Tell her not to fucking complain about your music, okay?
2. If she tells you your music is bad, she is complaining about you personality (since music=personality). Tell her she doesn't know shit.
3. Get her to listen to the music you like and make and try to get her interested in not only the sounds and artists but also history and facts about the genre.
4. When producing, if the gf doesn't like your music and so on, she is banned from the apartment/house/studio until you feel you are done. Give her some shopping money or send her over to her mom/friend.
5. Every once in a while get her involved in your productions, to keep her intersted. E.G tell her to reead a short poem that will be included in the track. Bitches love poems.
6. Double profit.

My GF's pretty supportive in everything I do, she shows it to all her friends etc etc, but at times she totally freaks out cause I don't give her as much attention as I give my productions :6:

if any of your would choose producing over your girlfriend then I suggest you dump your girlfriend now. as your relationship is obviously broken. or else just stay with her for the time being, the both of you are probably not at anything better if you're both in a go nowhere relationship.

as for myself, my significant other really likes what I do. however I would rather she be brutally honest rather than politely supportive.

Wait really? If you love the girl surely you can hack the criticism?

Have a relationship is way more important that producing anyway... Imho.
In my defense, it wasn't a one off and it wasn't crit, it was just rude.

Even if I love somebody I'm not going to tolerate things like that, because the truth is, if I leave her, I can go find somebody better and be in love with them instead. Why love a good personality when you can love a great personality instead?

Relationships aren't really that important to me. They're time consuming, costly and ultimately get in the way of what I want in life.
QFT
Exactly my opinion aswell eventho I'm in a 2 year relationship with the best girl i've ever met.
Seems like she slurps up all my time that I could use for production.
I'm not at the point where I want to be and for that I need time to learn but whenever I get a day off I need to spend it with her.

On a side note: Whenever I'm close to finishing a track she'll be the one to hear it first.
I nag about her opinion and it's always a dry "it's good".
Even made a track for her but her interest for it was pretty low.

If I don't get support from the person whom I'm most expecting from, I wonder why I'm still trying tho.
Story of my fuckin life. But replace 2 years with 1 year :6:

I dont agree mate. My gf wants to be a writer shes constantly reading etc If I turned around and told her throw all her books and everything shes worked at away Id expect a fuck you if not a slap. Thing is we wouldnt make each other make that choice and thats what a healthy relationship is. You respect each others talents and intrests and dont stand in their way.

I think it's good the way you guys can judge it with a level head.

For me, even if she hated my tunes and told me they were awful I wouldn't love her any less. I'm just lucky in the fact that she seems to be alright with it. :)
But I guess everyone's in a different position.

Producing could never make me feel as alive as she does.

:U:
Yea, I know you weren't, was just explaining, so I didn't seem like a heartless bastard.

If you don't value producing more than your girlfriend, then get rid of your DAW and stop trying to make music, or, just make mediocre tracks, you're not going to make anything better if you're not willing to re-address your priorities.

Why can't you value your girlfriend and your relationship more than producing but still strive to make your tracks as good as possible?

There's no direct correlation between how you value your girlfriend and how good your tracks are!!

For someone who comes across as level headed and intelligent that's the most dumb thing you've said Kaiori. :6:

It was deliberately dumb to point out how dumb the statement above it was. I wasn't serious. It's almost a word for word recreation of samurai's post, I just switched it around a bit.

Im pretty lucky!

My boyf is majorly into his film making, so he spends a tonne of his time on his computer editing music vids etc!

Its ideal, I get to sit in my studio, he sits in his!

Actually means when we spend time together its so much better!


Problem I found is when one person produces and has a hobby and the other does not they get bored and so demand attention!

its good for both partners to have hobbies!

Oh, and I gotta say....
Is it me or the idea that those under the age of 16 on here having gfs etc just funny!
Makes me think of Barbie and Ken!

No disrespect! :corndance:

My gf likes almost all electronic music... but hates bro step! so it's all good! when she hears shitty bro step she's like 0_0 holy shit. has a music background as well

As far as producing, I try to produce when she's at work to get shit done, but she was there when I couldn't make a basic drum beat in my daw. She only complains if she has heard the tune a million times which I don't doubt.

the young kids talking about being in love in this thread remind me of this guy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysKAVyXi0J4 this is the video
this is the 2nd page of the comments http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=y ... 0J4&page=2

search the word sperm for the dude's comment
This song is filthier than being locked up in a sperm bank for two weeks with nothing to drink
this is the sort of gangsta who fronts like he listens to the dirtiest dubstep to all his college bros and then in his spare time he secretly watches heart warming reunions between man and dog.

supportive. she's not a huge fan of dubstep, unless it's just dancing, but she always listens to my wip's and doesn't complain when i sit there on my laptop for hours.

oh, and if i'm on stage, she's dancing.
