I can't seem to make any decent music, I don't feel inspired enough to write, I've played enough FFXI for today and all interesting /jp/ threads are inactive. What do I do now, /jp/?

[Anonymous No.]

Make a shitty thread like this. Mission complete, anon.

Go find Mugen and rape him.

Why would I rape mugen?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5766998
So he will stop raping our board and our soul.

Can't make music as in not inspired, not sucking at it.

[Anonymous No.]

i know the feeling, OP. didn't realize there were some closet musicfriends on /jp/.

what often works for me to break a creative block is to play something outside my usual. different style of music, less familiar instrument.

or if that fails, start an 8 bar loop, record over it and see what happens. i've had lots of good accidents that way.

Bullshit, people make music because they get paid for it, not because they are "inspired" or not.

Mozart, Bach, and all the rest didn't just sit in their room making music for the sake of making music, they did it for the patronage.

Lack of inspiration as an excuse not to write just means you are a lazy, talentless, hack. Go to school you schmuck.

is that some kind of troll? some days it's tough to be creative. i'm sure even mozart had writers block somedays.

He posted an image macro so either he's a troll or an idiot.

1) Listen to new music.
2) Get inspired.

Or just listen to more game OSTs; that's what always inspires me. Next thing I'll be doing is an arrangement of a song from Blazblue or this cool song from WA5:

Okay, technically, I am capable of making something. But I have certain quality standards, and I want to make something actually worth listening to.

I don't have any alcohol here, and it's 2:32 AM so I can't go out and buy some.

Like I said, not feeling inspired enough. If I write now, the result will probably be shitty.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

Sometimes when I'm really facing writer's block I just fiddle around with old songs. At least I'll be doing something then. Like yesterday I messed around with the mixing on a /jp/ collab.

Also if this is VDZ you're music is awesome. I keep your /projects/ threads always open on a tab for inspiration.

[VDZ !!TsSHNYMDNyC No.]

Messed around randomly, mostly with lesser-used VSTs/soundfonts (when did I last use soundfonts...?)...
It's not exactly material to make a full track of, but it's a nice loop and I had fun making it.

FLP file, if anybody's interested: http://www.mediafire.com/?eknbvv4io6kqb9h (FL Studio 7)

Well, at least I did something useful today.

I like the organ.

And soundfonts are awesome.
