since you mention finihsing a tune

best advice ive seen relating to this is to set a marker at the start of a tune, then a marker at 5/6minutes ish - then you know where youre tune will end. well hard to finish anything with an infinite blank canvas in front of you - this way you can see your end point, and suddenly far less space to fill.]

works for me !

good luck :4:

Damn, thats pretty good advice, i never thought of doing that.

I'm home already, friday night in sydney!

usually if i smoke weed and try and produce I end up listening to the same percussion loop for like 2 hours twiddling with shit that doesnt really need to be tweaked.

Have fun at work - render what we've done sunday night and we'll see who wins teh l33t prize.

I do that most the time I am not stoned anyway.

team up with someone to finish tunes or play what you have to get their approval which in turn should motivate you to get her done. I need to take my own advice FFS :|

point to the door chum. my missus hates dub/electro etc with no vocals but lies, rather badly, when hearing my choons and gives the two thumbs up. bless her
