I have a number of tracks from last year still in production and it's been slow going. I still believe in them but it's made me wonder if I should still be doing this. Then one new idea really grabbed me and now I'm wondering if every release should be like that. It's just so easy in comparison.

I had been in an extended funk until about a month ago. Then just a couple of days ago I made something I'm extremely proud of. Mainly because it doesn't "smell" like me, if that makes sense. It's like I pushed through a new creative barrier.

Luckily when I was in my funk I was still doing things. Mainly things like playing with plugins to see what they can do (I've downloaded so many over the years and never really explored them) or analyzing spectrum meters to see what different compressors do. Stuff like that lol

But lately it's like the creativity finally came back. It feels so good to sit down and hammer out something that's 80% done within 2-3 hours. Once that creativity starts flowing it's hard to contain and it's the best feeling

Reminds me of "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins, I think that was about Billy Corgan getting through a creative block. It's always great to make a breakthrough!
