Not Another Lack Of Creativity Thread!

[Bassf4ce]

Too bad, it is. So, how am I so pose to make song when pretty much there is a dubstep bootleg/remix of everything. I am too left brained to be creative and shit.

Lol I go outside, I do active things.

That's the side that is not creative, right?

Probably a good general life tip. Nobody likes a force.

Oh ok. Due to the realization that this is a waste of a thread, I think this should be locked or w/e.

Ok I will give you a little bit of advice on being creative. Impose limits on yourself i.e "im only going to use the notes C E G" or, "I'm only going to use 3xosc for this track". Those restrictions will force you to be creative, and think out the box.

Also spend sometime getting your key-skills rock solid, when you know your daw/vst's inside out, and have good pitch, and timing, making the music in your head becomes soo much easier, and quicker.

Also don't listen to this let it come naturally, work your ass off, at getting awesome at all the skills you need.

Nah left/right brain being specialized is a myth.

Its truly all down to work ethic though, pushing through the plateaus and forcing something to happen. I talked to Porter and Zedd a few days ago and they both said they produced 10 hours a day for a few years before starting to tour. Actually Porter said a track a day was what he'd aim for. In other words, writers block and all that bs is non existent. If you're actively involved in the songwriting process you won't have time to think about whether or not you can make something work, you just keep grinding it out til it does.

Thanks for the advice, but I am not even talking about stuff like that. I am talking about like, Should I make this song about transformers or like scary monsters (no pun intended).

never go into a tune with a set plan

Write a track about ponies.

never go into a tune with a set plan

Yeah, because executing the ideas in your head is always a bad idea

what I'm say more so is don't go in with like fucking outline of everything you want in it, for me thats when things loose "soul"

[Bassf4ce]

I don't, but I am at the stage in my song where all I got is this drop. I want to add more instruments and stuff, but I can't sense I don't have a feel for what the song is even about. I don't know what to do with this, like three months of work and I can't finish it.

well for me making pads usually stirs up my creative juices

[Bassf4ce]

Well, I guess I just got to stop bitching and start thinking.
