I have been producing electronic music for most of my life. Started when i was 15. I never really wanted to become a professional artist and make a living from it or become famous etc. Well of course sometimes I fantasized about it but i mainly did it because it made me feel so good and was one of the best things that I had in my life. I could never imagine that this would change. In my mid 20s i started to invest less and less time, had long phases of inactivity and it become more of an on and off relationship. Now in my mid 30s I can barely motivate myself and find inspiration for it. I'm still trying hard but i often simply don't have the motivation/energy. I rather spend money on new gear etc than actually doing music. I miss it so much and i don't want to accept that it's 'not my thing' anymore. Is there anything I could try to ignite this flame inside me again? Should I set myself goals or try a different mindset?

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to reply in such a thoughtful way. It means a lot. Many of the things that you said are inspirational and motivating and also really hit home. It's a new viewing angle and i will try to turn it into a new approach to get creative and not give up. I wish you all the best for your personal life and career !

Hey bro, Ableton !

Hey, super interesting AMA.

I lived in australia for a while and the other day while we were doing some garden work, we have discovered a snake curled up just outside of our house sitting in a small gap between a fence and our garage. It looked like it was sleeping or dead. We had no idea what to do and as we had chicken, cats and dogs, we found it too dangerous to let it stay there. Also the neighbours had small kids. The only thing i can remember is that the snake was kinda brown/green and around 2 meters. So we took a sharp garden tool and chopped off its head :(

I still think back to this every once in a while and feel so sorry for the snake.

At that time, we did not really think about calling a specialist. Do many people kill snakes and is that a huge deal? What do you personally think about what I did?

Thank you Sir

Haha, i admit I try out some new cracked plugins every once in a while, but Ableton and almost all of the vsts i frequently use are legit copies.
