Set-up project in Ableton and FLstudio<br />2. Randomly select instrument and press a button<br />3. Immediately become frustrated<br />4. Realize your complete inadequacy<br />5. Become angry and depressed<br />6. Masturbate (make sure that the orgasm is unsatisfying, this is very important)<br />7. Take a shower while listening to Nirvana (Inutero)<br />8. Return to DAW<br />9. Stare into your screen saver, while contemplating suicide<br />10.

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>smiletron says:</i></b><p>just make yourself do it.<br />easier said then done but it&#039;s that simple. find what inspires you then create whatever you want. i don&#039;t listen to other people&#039;s music while i&#039;m in process of writing a record, it&#039;s distracting.</p><p>also, drugs or not: if you find yourself being lazy, stop it. drugs are one of the most powerful tools for creating things in the hands of the right people, but i find that most people i encounter lack the self control/attention span to sit down and work on things for more than a few hours at a time.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>basspuddle says:</i></b><p>^kind of a hippie answer, but if you don&#039;t know where to take a track, just let it go where it wants. if it doesn&#039;t sound like any other song you&#039;ve heard before, good. that just means you have artistic individuality. if nothing else works, save it, forget about it, and pick it up again another time.</p>]]></description>
