Introspection anyone ?

It's a human thing : we're full of great advices for the others but for some reason we rarely consider addressing them to ourselves.
And as a matter of fact, our best advices usually concern the others far less than they refer to ourselves.
Many times I replied to people to tell them to do exactly when I needed to do.
I doubt these posts were ever useful to anybody else but they became relevant when I realized I was the one who was supposed to listen.

Here's my point : everyone is his own greatest master because we know exactly what we need to do or learn to get better.
We (well, most of us) just don't realize it, suffer a lack of objectivity or can't face all it implies.

So, if you (think you) :
* know better or always have something to say for each thread
* know everything about synthesis
* make original tunes (or exhort people to be original/more creative)
* wonder wtf I'm on about (or think you're not concerned)

>> Have an honest look at yourself and your music, read your recent posts and replace all the "you"s by "I"s. I'm sure you'll learn more in a week than you did spending 4 hours a day reading others posts for months.

The irony of it all being that I'm writing this for myself :D

Interesting post. Aided by the valium which is now fizzing in my belly I would very much like to congratulate you on the angle. It's is entirely more valid than endless Excision bass sounds/genre wars :D

He said he could learn alot from himself.

Nice one DC

I will gladly take a moment to do this

I feel as if I am entering into another creative phase so I'll most likely benefit from this exercise
