How many of you are making tracks 24/7 and how many of you are lucky enough to work an hour a month?

I voted other.

When I get motivated.....I write a few hours a day.

But recently, I haven't been able to write music for a while now.

If I had it my way.....I would write music about 3 hours a day.

I set three days a week aside for studio work. That could include making sounds, writing, experimenting, remixes,cleaning,and just goofing off.

schedules are a good thing... i think i could benefit from one, aside from the m-f 8-5 deal... haha... cause it's all a mess once i leave work... structuring would probably make things a little easier and more effecient... maybe even help with creativity... good lookin' out! haha, w3rd!
booooo yaaaaa!

Now that I have a computer... it's been at least once a week. I do want to get on a schedule so that I can spend more time making music.

I pick 1 weekend out of 2 months to sit in my room until it is done. I orignially did this to practice for working in a real studio or rental time with only a few days to do it. But now since tech. is getting better I think I can just relax about wanting to get on some real hardware and compression equipment.

I spend too much time in front of a computer at work so getting in front of it at home isn't so appealing but I try to get on it at least two nights a week.

I got an idea, an idea so smart that my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.

I rarely spend any time. My computer is getting so old and slow, that it's come to the point where it's more of a chore for me to start working on a track. Plus I TRULY hate the whole pre-pro process of sound selection!!!!!! My current set-up in not condussive to creativity.

I just don't have time now.....

DJing is where I am going...all I really have time for.

The only way I will create time in my schedule for making music is if I suddenly stop having great sex all the time or become depressed and become a fixture in my home....

or producers simply don't make a quality sound I am into anymore that I know should be contructed....

.....but for now I can't stop listening to some of these new techno tracks that are coming out....I got nothing on these guys.
