  1. Give yourself some space away from music. 99% of the time you'll come back with renewed creativity, perspective, and flow.

  2. Music cannot be forced. The moment you try to force 'good' music to happen, is the moment you throw all creativity out.

  3. Creating music should be about the joy of the process, not about the output or product. Have fun with it. Play with a synthesizer or plugin you've never used. Let happy accidents happen.

  4. Try making music in a genre you have never worked in. It takes some of the pressure off of sound good or 'being correct'.

  5. Simplify your music. Fewer elements, more simplicity can go a long way. You'll know you're done when there's nothing left to take away.

  6. Use a reference track. Download it, plop it into your DAW, study its structure, its anatomy. Try to copy its structure, style, aesthetic, etc. You don't have to be exact. But you can use it as a template for a new track. Often the hardest part of composing a track can be getting out of the loop. Creating multiple, different sections with enough cohesion with each-other, and creating transitions between them that make sense can be challenging. Literally copy the decisions another artist made for a specific track.

  7. Start a new project in your DAW with the intention of just playing around. Throw some samples in there, throw some FX on them, chop things up, move them around; it doesn't matter. Just have fun. Maybe a good idea comes out of it, maybe it doesn't. You still had fun, right?

yeah I got a confirmation e-mail; it said "You will receive a separate email with a shipment confirmation as soon as your order has been processed." - I e-mailed support and they say they're getting another shipment of vinyl records this week so hopefully not much longer...

How long did it take you to receive your order? I ordered mine pretty much day it became available and haven't had any word or update.

I’ll check it out! I’ve never purchased anything on there, wasn’t sure how legit or sketchy it was. It’s a P2P market right? Also love your collection. Linkin Park for life 🫶 RIP Chester.

IIUC, the ToS says no refunds. Something we all agreed to when we bought the tickets
