Hey everyone! So I have been producing music for almost 2 years now. I first started off using Fl Studio 12 and learned it pretty well. A few months back i upgraded from ky ancient childhood Yamaha midi keyboard to a Usb Novation Launchkey with Ableton. I use both now and love them both. Thats not the point of this topic though. With the use of Ableton, I quickly learned how to resample and warp/ pitch samples much more visually for me than i could figure out in FL so I started producing some really gritty dubstep. Using FL, I could very easily write some beautiful melodic piano and violin duets, sometimes even with backing vocals of mine or something of the sort. I just always had fun. Ableton and FL both are just a dream to use. So, I am at the point where I kind of dont know where to go. I FEEL stagnant. I learned to play guitar, violin, and viola, and grew up in a piano household. I did choir in school. I know for a fact that music is my calling, and it is my uncontested love. But I cannot for the life of me, figure out what i want to convey. I am a very outgoing, fun, party centric guy so i feel like club centric music is what i should produce, yet i cant stop going back to the midi keyboard and writing piano pieces or recording violin sections. But i listen to and love dubstep. Other than that, im conflicted. I sing impromptu in the car justto do it. No song, just singing. Even scales. Idk. With this much love for music and a good grasp of the fundamentals, I cannot figure out why I am having such a hard time figuring out WHAT i want to finish. I know already HOW to, i just can never get around to it. I open a new project every time. Im never satisfied I don't care how, but i want to be involved with music. I love it too much to be an electrician the rest of my life. Basically, i know that the fascination wears out for some. I want to know what i can do to make sure i dont give up. I feel so tired after just an hour behind the cans and i used to lose days here. Whats up
