A simple limiter seems to sort it. Probs wont use this plugin again . It could be awesome but it has a couple of weird bugs that are offputting.

There’s a pretty complex (at least it looks complex) midi modulation section in the Toolbar on the right side of plugin

I HATE producing music, does anybody else go through spells where they feel guilty for not making music ??

Dickhead, you’re good at it, you’re not allowed to hate it
And obviously yeah trying to make smth the standard of the music you love can seem like an impossible task
Fuck it tho, if not producing makes you feel guilty it’s probably for a good reason

Cheers man idk, I only seem to ever get anything out if I force myself onto the computer and grind. I never make music and enjoy it like I did maybe 7-8 years ago… Nowdays even though I’m making “better” stuff, the process just sucks me…

idk ymmv, but i used to feel like guilty for not making music but not anymore
sometimes i feel like opening my DAW sometimes i dont but now i’m not guilt-tripping myself into making music just because
honestly feel like anything i make if i force myself making it turns out meh, so am good with just making music when i feel like it and not beat myself over doing something else if i dont feel like it?
this being said, the stuff you posted on bandcamp recently is real good, make more when you feel like it

Cheers faults, what does ymmv mean though ?
I just feel that if I don’t push when I don’t want to be doing it then I’m never really gonna improve… Most of that recent stuff came out of me forcing myself down onto the computer and making 3 tracks a day… I’ve got this proper complex man, can get me down, really down at times when I think about it. If I’m not making music I’m wasting my time… Which then leads to feelings of guilt.
I’ll try and just go for it when I feel like it a bit more but FML that could lead to some barren spells

ymmv = your mileage may vary
i dont like to use the word inspiration because it sounds corny but what i mean is dont force it if you’re not inspired, if you rather feel like watching a movie or play games or go for a walk or read a book that’s cool too imo
you can even chalk it up as part of the process of making music, like you;re just finding inspiration init
feelings of guilt are unhealthy and unpatriotic imo
Cheers for the advice faults I’ll maybe not feel so bad from now on 
tbh my username means lazy animal in german so maybe dont take advice from me and just grind harder idk

Aha just clocked the sloth in your pic too, no you are right really, it ain’t healthy…
Very much yes, more so if I spend my evenings playing video games/watching series. But this guilt also makes me have to “have the talk” with my self on why I make music in the first place.

yeah its tough and I definitely relate. sometimes I feel like I’m not going anywhere and then after some more work I realize I have stuff that’s ready to release again. making well produced and fully realized music is a lot of work and can be draining. there was a passage about this in a book about making electronic music that I liked but don’t have it here now. anyway I think its a normal feeling and doesn’t mean you aren’t doing it right. definitely a balance of forcing yourself to do the work (and it does sometimes feel like work) and not going too far and burning yourself out. cause that becomes counter productive

Lol the correct reply to this is the peep show quote where Jeremy goes “if we just did what we actually liked we’d just sit in front of the telly wanking and eating those nice German chocolates”
There’s “happy” and happy isn’t there. I don’t think any activity will be good enough if you expect a constant stream of gratification. As you attach more expectations to your projects it’s going to be more frustrating and weigh heavier on you. But you gotta have expectations for yourself a bit too I guess lol.
Nothing feels greater than actually making progress in music imo, it’s always worth all the shitty nights where I spend hours making some bullshit

Im not insinuating to stop music altogether 
FIucking hell imagine that!!!
I just dont stress shit anymore. I guess in the sense of what i posted, its equating happiness with enjoyment, with satisfaction, with a sense of achievement…
If making music is causing me more stress than happiness. I turn off the computer and do something else. I might wank. I might eat those nice German chocolates. Stress is the mindkiller.
