i still haven't 100% got out of it
big thing i did was i focused on one track at a time until finished. my mind was too cluttered
I couldn't create new ideas because i had all these other unfinished ideas.
my brain looked like this
what i was doing before was working on 3 albums at once. terrible mistake. i couldnt decide what to work on so i ultimately didnt work on anything as a result
i also got a promotion at work earlier this year so i didnt have much time to work on music.
s***, this week im workin 7 days straight smh

You don't, you ride the wave. Make as many bad beats as possible. Keep going. Keep going. Learn new things, take up new hobbies, consume new media, learn different ways of producing listen to more music, change your style, continue to make those bad beats. Save em somewhere.
Honestly if you have beat block tho my best recommendation is to study new purifiers and make beats or music like them and don't try to be original even if it's just blatant copying.
Beat Blocks happen before major breakthroughs, at least for me anyways

If things are going bad change everything. If things are going well change nothing

My friend has seen how well things have gone for me
I told him to get into making music 4/5 years ago (I've been doing it longer than that) since he didn't really seem to have anything going for him & he was one of those dudes that just took an OK job out of high school. He tried it for about a week and then quit
Now he messaged me asking to start a duo...
He said he can sing, that he has 'ideas' & that I can teach him how to make music
I don't know if he thinks I'm b***oo the fool but I'm not finna invest my music making time into teaching a complete beginner how to making music from scratch when I tried to get them to do this years ago
It would be a waste of my time & my time is already stretched beyond belief.
When I replied to him, I told him he would need an insane amount of passion & dedication to make any barely decent.
Despite me not really having a solid base of day 1 people to go on the journey with, the journey will be delayed or might not even happen if I have to spend time teaching him
I think the best he could hope for is to either learn on his own entirely or to be one of those Richard Russell type guys
Been experimenting with new genres

just play him tbh, he might have something you're gonna wanna use in the future. give him the leftovers. respond by text, and take around 30 minutes to chop s*** up with him.
give him lots of resources tho abs tell him he needs to figure things out for himself to strengthen his creativity.
If anyone gets a M2 Air for music production see if you can post thoughts
