On weed I marvel at my own creations, followed by tweaking the same synth patch for an hour.
On mdma, fuck making music, I wanna listen to music.
On ket I make the odd layer, then zone out for a good 20 minutes before continuing production
On coke, I'm a little worker bee.
On booze, I'm too lazy to make beats.

...And that ladies & gentlemen is my guide to getting high and producing.

i think thats pritty much it xD, especially the ket part i would just make 1 wobble and loop it and sit there...

i used to think i couldnt write without being stoned, but these days i dont smoke at all and dont think i could even get to grips with a track if i was lean.

i also noticed when i was stoned i couldnt go back to a track i'd produced while lean and get the vybe......
i'd literally have a lil listen think fuck this and start a new project.........

sorry shit thread but 90% of stuff going on in here is complete and utter bullshit thesedays can we go bk to 07/08 please??????

on another note i think redbull and orange lucozade are my drugs of choice

definitely redbull if on a morning session

I dabble in pretty much everything and have tried making music on everything at some stage .

Its a bit of a waste of time with me If im too baked, I stayed up the whole night tweaking bass synths on a hip-hop track LEAN AS for an M.c to spit on the next day and when he popped round and heard it his wordz were...
"chuck that other beat on from before, this ones a bit Xperimental!!"

Gutted was I, but the track I had written sobre was being felt. He wasnt baked and couldnt relate, probs thinkin Im not sure if this hip-hop hybrid really has a point to it.

Far too much time is spent tweaking when Im baked, rather thatn putting flesh on the bones Im trying to put a tatoo on the bones.

Similar to walking before flying.

Much love Y'all.

truth!

if you smoke weed instead of studying, its your fault. but if you wait till its done itll will make it that much better. just like everything else in life, if you're responsible with it you can do it with out a negative effect, maybe even a positive one.

as long as you dont do coke, heroin, crystal meth, or excessive amounts of hallucinogens(god complex anybody?) youll be ok

It's all about coming up with stuff sober but having spliff breaks during mixdown

I don't do drugs as much as I used to but it is funny because sometimes I forget that the genres of music that I make sort of cater to people who are on drugs.... Then when I DO trip out and listen to my own stuff I'm like "Holy shit!!! Now I remember why I put all of that time and effort into making it so fucking crazy/ textured! because it sounds even more awesome when you are on LSD!!!" lol

If you tried to produce on pills you'd just have a kick drum and snare going and that would be enough to get you raving, wouldn't really work

haha years ago i used to do that so often after a club, some acid, bit of reverb on the kick/snare... well good

i dont produce on drugs
i have in the past, its ok if you're at the arranging stage but useless if you're deciding what sounds/patterns to use

never try to master/mixdown on drugs... especially not when sketchy..

maybe a little weed to make things a little more fun.

I got a fukked up back with sciatica, so I take madd pain pill's when I produce so I can sit for long periods of time. I love Opiates and production... even if I'm not in the mood, I can take a few OC's and in 30 min you can't keep me away from the studio.

and weed... all the time
