Feeling lost with your own music

when i get the block i'm always worried. "oh sh!t, i've lost it," i think. every time

Getting lost is usually the follow up for having too much confidence. Be critical, find the errors and focus.

Most of the time, in my case at least, the reasons for lost of focus are:
-Too much gear on the table, you don't need all that.
-Too much speculating on the web
-Focusing on irrelevant things like which compressor to use or how to setup sessions properly
-Talking, not doing
-Not knowing who you are in all that "music thing"
-No deadlines, not finishing
-No goals.

The secret is having fun, don't take it like a job or an obsession just have fun and it will be mirrored in your music

This.


Also, don't take it so hard man, i think after reading this thread we can all take comfort in the fact each of us will suffer this feeling from time to time.

I went thru about 3 months or so of it, only just coming good now, most of it was having gear that i was learning / not using to its full potential
