So, It's 04.24am and I've been up making some standard dnb and my mind probably just isn't working properly due to the time, but I just cannot be creative with my bassline or my intro at all!

Keep getting other songs in my head and shit

How does everyone deal with their creative blocks? :end_of_wo
 
i personally struggle when it gets to the breakdown in the middle of the song and hit a creative block i find that if i leave it a couple of days i can come back to it and make one.

i get a lot of good ideas when im jogging and while im working its just hard remembering them and then sometimes when you do remember getting the sounds just how you want them but i suppose thats something that will get easier the better you get as a producer.
 
have a search on here for other threads on this topic - there are quite a few.
but essentially you cant force creativity.
so take a break - have a walk have a wank.
watch a film go down the pub. do something else. read a book.
etc.
good luck
 
The making sounds thing is good, sometimes an hour or so working on a synth patch has evolved into the start of a song.

Something really obvious that worked for me the other day was just 'switch off the monitor.' Listen to the sounds instead of looking at the screen. So bloody obvious yet I've rarely done it before and it helped quite a lot.
