i smoke to much weed and forget what im doing, sometmes have the habit of having a wee brock out if iv made a good loop. This always results in my girlfriend comin in to tell me to turn it down thus catching me dancing by myself, to my own music. ha

i dont smoke while producing, if i was really high while staring at a moniter close up for hours i'd just vomit.

i just sit with a load of pillows on my bed, glass of water and thats about it.. it's just fucking annoying when i have to get out of my amazing position to go for a piss.

I like that noise because as long as you can hear it you'll know you're not going deaf :lol:

And fun is what we are here for kids!

Dubstep was invented for the red eyed audiophile!

That is not actually true. Thomas Edison was probably smoking a doob when he made the first wax cylinder. It goes hand in hand.

Don't smoke at the computer man, go to the window or outside or other designated place. That way not only you wont smell like a firefighter, you also will get a lot of inspiration and ideas by standing up, moving and smoking.

Not only that but your monitor will turn yellow and the fans in your comp will be caked with dust. I ruined a few comps that way :lol: I have a smoke free house now... well free of the baccy anyway. I go smoke outside every hour or so. It's good to take a break from the sound for 10 minutes or so and I seem to have a flood of ideas as soon as I walk outside.

The weirdest thing I do I probably hold a piss in because I am in the middle of working on something. Or I'll listen to it one more time before I quit about 20 times in a row haha.
Quoting the first page but fuck it. Exactly this except I don't smoke cigarettes I just go out for spliffs every hour.
