I don't use Newgrounds much and I hate everything I made before maybe 2019. Thanks for being on my profile though!

Artist's block is an obstacle we all have to stumble on.

Here's something that's helped me in the past. I hope it'll help you as well.

You be careful out there.

Heh, thank you.
I did a big clear out of music and got a boost in drive, for a short while, but anyway I'll be sure to keep trying.
Also, interesting link.

I go away from here for a while and this is how you try to take over the world without me??!!?!? quitting!??!?!? NEVER!

In all seriousness, music should be an expression of emotion, it is you incarnate. maybe you are feeling cluttered in your sounds because your life is getting cluttered at the moment? Try to relax and dont worry about it so much, just take one note at a time and let it flow. It doesnt have to be perfect, just writing (even if its terrible) will push your skills in the long run and you may feel better because of it. In fact if you want to have a 'who can write the worse track contest' I would so be in!

Music is also about sacrifice, time, energy, money, it is really hard to make music and a career in it these days but dont give up. Perseverance is the only way you will make it if it is what you want! You only truly fail when you stop trying.

I hope to come back here in a while and see you running this place or I will not be happy!

All the best
Steve

Hehe ^-^
But seriously, nah, I wouldn't be so dramatic as to suggest quitting. Musicians can't really cut music out anyway; rockstars will find themselves taking up new instruments after a band split, producers may find themselves doing DJing on the side...
The more you try and ignore music the more you find yourself drumming on tables.

You are very right about writing and stuff by the way. It is true I felt very cluttered, and it is likely a mixture of life hassles as well as simple, literal clutter of music projects and my own thoughts and ideas. I still want to make stuff, and now things are a little more clear I'm going to focus on improving again, and at some point after applying to uni or extra college I'll see if I can really make a track in a professional way.

I think I'm going to put up a Harmor test here, maybe today. I've been using GMS and Sytrus for a long time and it actually feels good to spend some cash on a synth I really want to use.
Also still trying some liquid on the side, with a lot more enthusiasm because of increased clarity. Harmor will be for Neuro stuff, because I remember when that was my sort of music almost all the bass tutorials I saw used Harmor to some extent.

Thanks for being so supportive btw.

I don't have a normal ending message,
JP
