If you’re a producer, you may come across this feeling of redundancy, or non-productivity… You feel like you have less inspiration, you lack creativity, and you don’t know how to get out of this trap. So here are 6 ways for you to be more productive and creative…
Sometimes, the problem may come from the fact that you’ve specialized so much into this one genre or style, that you locked yourself in it. But we all get tired of repeating the same things all the time. So, try new genres, experiment, have fun!
Instead of using your same old usual drum kits and sounds, maybe try recording sounds yourself in everyday life and nature. Then use those sounds as samples to create new songs. A fun, long and creative process.
Sometimes, using sophisticated DAWs and tools that automate and speed up a lot of things can make you a bit more… lazy? And laziness = lack of creativity and productivity. So if you start to feel that way, maybe you can try limiting your tools, and see what you can make with all those restrictions.
You can also try to change your workspace or actual compose in another place (outside, cafe, fast-food…). It may sound funny, but just changing your work environment will break a routine and will force your brain to think differently!
That’s right! Whether you’re an instrumentalist or not, try messing around with an instrument, and you will see that you’ll end up making this one random riff or mistake that will make you think : “Wait… this sounds good! Let’s make a song out of that!”
And when we say new music, we mean music that you’re not used to hearing. Listening to different genres and styles will help you be more familiar with a lot of different techniques, chord progressions and notes that you can then incorporate into your craft!
So, as you can see, there are so many ways to give yourself a new boost for your music production journey. But, sometimes, you may even just need a break… who knows? Whatever it is, once you identify this issue, make sure to find the solution that suits you best!
