it changes alot, if i have at least a fivers in the morning i can produce for about 12 hours maximum.. just the motivation to keep on doing it really
Loads of producers who are doing well right now started off making music at a young age also. It really does take a lot of time to learn things by urself at home unfortunately:(

Use ur time wisely! :)
yeah exactly.. its a bit crap when you dont know ANYBODY into producing, let alone producing dubstep round your area for tips and stuff, but then again thats why i come here :P

haha yeah i will try, cheers mate
There are nuff producers in Leeds and Bradford like meee

Currently 2-4 hours tops as I have too much other stuff going on (art/work/social etc)

I'll be ramping up for a show pretty soon so this will go up to 15-20 until after the show.

Then I'll probably drop down to around 5-10 as I finally start recording.

Actually, I spend a fair amount of time at work working on tracks and DJing. Mostly DJing.

Ahahaha the same thing happens to me constantly, people make so much noise! Before that thing I'd just say I didn't have any CDs unless they weren't fools lol.
I always leave my flash drive plugged in too, and at some point remember and run back over.
I might have one in the case, I can check tomorrow I can't remember offhand. You work tomorrow?
