At times, you might listen to a song and think to yourself, "the lyrics and beat combination are just off the hook". You might immediately give credit to the artist. You might even wonder why you find it difficult coming up with something even half as creative. You simply sit at your music production equipment staring at it blankly. Nothing seems to come your way in the form of inspiration.
What the great artists are able to do is work past those points where they lack the inspiration they need. They are able to find ways to get their thoughts flowing and to record those thoughts. At some point they are able to finally break through and create that sound that everyone is listening to and raving about. The people that do this have talent, but talent is not enough to consistently create the right sounds. It is a process, and when you hit the limits of your creativity, it is the process that will help you break through the barrier. A few tricks can help you when you reach the point where you cannot create.
Break it down into small pieces. Instead of trying to work on the whole track at one time, take it in small increments. The biggest problem people have when trying to create the perfect beat is putting too many ideas together at once. Instead of trying to make a bunch of sounds into the perfect beat, cut it back and concentrate on just a few things and the sound will come.
Reduce the number of sounds per beat. Although you might think that the perfect sound will be created by adding new sounds to the current beat, its best to focus on using just a few sounds per beat. As a rule, using too many synthesizers in a beat makes it more complicated.
Cut the Number of Themes - If you find that you keep adding many different types of music, step back and concentrate on just a couple of them. Again, it will take the confusion out of the piece you are working on.
Use few tracks. When selecting tracks, focus on those that make sense to you. More tracks do not necessarily mean that you will get the perfect beat. The number of beats will enable you get the perfect sound.
