Do THIS to NEVER experience beat block

- I don’t experience beat block anymore. So this is what I do to keep generating ideas and staying in the flow. Those are the things I wish I knew before. For most of the time I was unaware of how generating ideas works and was doing things blindly. I still was getting the results, but didn't really know where they are coming from.

Another creativity tip is also pitching your song around and you might have some further inspiration all of a sudden for elements to put in :)
Yess!
nah that aint work for me
I open another project and start working on it for a few minutes then return to the song before and I keep flowing
That's what I did for every single song i post on TH-cam lol
Lol I have 56 unfinished songs !!! Thank you!!🥰🥰
Rookie numbers😅
Give up 🥰🥰
I bet you still haven't finished them after a year
8:43 I thought I was the crazy one for walking around my room as my laptop plays my project idea. Glad to know it's something that helps other people as well!
I do this as well
Me too😂
People don't do this??
I now remember once going to the bathroom while my daw was still playing and getting an idea out of that, yet I never thought to do it again
do this all the time, I leave it running on my monitors, gotta hear it from different angles.
Another tip I've heard of is to make a space , a room right for producing. That's not about the sound proof stuff etc. It's about making your producing space aesthetically pleasing for you. This way you will create a satisfying experience for urself. Hardware stuff also can keep the ideas flowing, eg using a hardware synth or a midi keyboard
I'd like to sincerely thank you for making this video. I've always struggled with feeling like a creative type but after watching this I've reached an epiphany - music production is just as much discovery as it is creativity. If I view it as experimentation and discovery, I will avoid falling into the perfectionism trap I so often find myself in. I really hope you see my comment because I want you to know how much I appreciate you!
I have been watching your vids for a long time and I swear they have been getting better every time. Several of your latest videos have made it on to my "Favorites" playlist and that is no easy task. Out of the 10+ yrs I've been on TH-cam, only a few dozen have made it onto this list.
Well said regarding experimentation & discovery. I am yet to watch this video. What are some of the other vids on your favs list?
Yes, come on, what’s on your list?? 😃
Love the new editing, looks amazing, keep it up!
Your videos are amazing. Your music is so good. To be honest, you are a game changer concerning music production learning on internet. Thank you for all the up-and-coming artists you help. Love you! 😉😉
you're so amazing! as always
This is an amazing video, It helped me a lot to reconsider what to do on production. I've been feeling a little discouraged about making music due to those expectations and thinking that if I can't make a pro sound or track then it's a waste of time. I really don't like feeling that way but you gave a key to get out of that crappy zone. Thank you so much, you're one of the best content creators
One of the best videos on production I’ve seen. Thank you!
Super high quality video! Very satisfying to watch and thanks for the good tips.
this video aesthetic looks so good and satisfying to watch! also, lots of great demos that u just showed bro
Thank you!! Just watched the first 4 minutes but they are already super helpful! And probs on your editing it's really great! :)
Great vid. Needed this. 🤟🏻
great vid! I often struggle w this exact thing. the resampling ideas are super valuable!
Your sample packs have helped me over come any beat block I’ve ever had! Appreciate the work you’ve put into them!
Seriously needed this... Thanks man
This video is gold, wish I watched it 3 years ago when I started producing. Thank you
i like how the video is so well put together and good tips
Phenomenal video. Will have to keep these in mind. Messing around with samples works for me really well and swapping them in and out based on pattern has gotten me some pretty cool results.
really top notch video mate. This has got to be the most helpful video to anyone at any stage in their music making journey as we need to constantly remind ourselves of these points. Well done
this was genuinely a good video with not so basic and general tips ❤️❤️
Perfect bro!
I do about half of these already but your flow is so much better. Thanks for the tips.
You said it mate, agree with 100% of the information. Great video my dude
Thank you for this video, I needed this so bad since I was going through a writer's block at the moment.
thanks for making this video man✨
Thank you Oversampled! excellent Video that i needed!
Great vid Peter! Always motivating and inspiring. But this one was 👌
Thank you so much for making this video! This has honestly helped me a lot with reevaluating my mindset when it comes to music production. For me, I have a pretty slow process when it comes to making ideas sometimes. I’ve set such high expectations for myself that it’s hard for me to even continue song ideas. I forget to just experiment and see what vibes can happen. I’m definitely going to give these tips a go!
Man. This is maybe the best video you’ve ever posted. From straight up DAW tips to some really interesting mindset tips. Keep up the great content Peter we appreciate you so much 🤘
Best tips in da business right here! Thanx man ! Flow State was always part of my creative process BTW!
love this video!!
this stuff is so inspirational i love it.
how is this guy so inspirational giving good tips and being funny at the same time :)
11:24 Best motivation you can get about music production.
You have a great perspective man
i think its very safe to say that this is your best video yet. and not only that - it is one of the best videos concerning music production on youtube! thank you!

Thank you Peter for great content! 🤗
You’re amazing!!!!
Thankyou for this video 🤗❤
Trueee😄 Nice video💜
Great tutorial and video editing
Great stuff! thank u a lot for inspiration!
Your videos are gems bro
These tips are excellent, and the conceptual tips work great for any creative medium, not just music producing. One that note, one of the best tips for any creative is, after a few hours of working on something, if you're stuck, put it down, walk away from it for a few hours, and subject yourself to completely unrelated stimulus. That can often birth new ideas or help spark something new to try to get past the point where you're stuck. You mentioned something similar - i.e. changing your workspace (which is a great idea!) - but sometimes people get stick mid-project and can't simply change work venues.
Such a good video!
i saved it to come back and watch it all again in the future cause it's definitely going to help
solid advice as always. thanks!

I always tend to get stuck at some point of the creative process.

Oh buddy ! You are so cool for our motivation. I need to buy one new sample pack from you to reward that !
Ty.
Very cool video, thanks!)
I’m just gonna watch this everyday!
New Flume tutorial! 🙏🏻
such a great video
I don't produce anymore but i haven't stopped watching your videos and they're getting better and better brah 🥵
Great video
Incredible content. Very useful.
thanks for sharing. Myself and im sure so many people suffer from the high expectation of their music. If you really watch people live streaming or "pro" producers start a track from scratch, you can see that what they made is actually kinda bad yet they somehow are able to turn that into a banger. Thats the skill of a good producer imo so its more important to focus on your process of improvement (via high quantity and continuous learning) than it is to actually aim to make bangers from the get, Anyways, thanks for a great vid again! - MA✨
love flow state
Thank you!
Very very helpful - thank you
Great Video Man! Also can we get a studio tour??
Full Release the track at 1:42 , its so sick!
thank you，it sure will help a lot
One thing that I find sparks creativity is setting limits for yourself. A couple that I commonly use are only use stock plugins in the daw or limit myself to making all sounds from scratch in one synth. Also living a healthy lifestyle keeps your mind healthy and fresh to be more creative.
Gently introducing determinism to young producers.
Great video! I just came out of beat block and I’m hoping that it’s the last one 🤘🙏
Great perspective and inspiration to hit the reset button
dude, you're a good person. I went from going into ableton every day to well, none for the past couple months. I opened ableton a little bit ago and I'm like, wow I was really on a roll there and got pretty deep but how tf was I doing this shit!? But this, this is helping a lot
Bro I'm so glad to hear that man!
his experiments are better than my actual full tracks
god I love and hate him
Next level. The part about neurons electrical signals is quite funny if you've seen the rick and morty giant head episode
Very good thank you so much
i did enjoy this content
this was deep af
1:41 why is no one talking about how fire this is
Really helpful, I'd also add that staying active in life really helps with not having beat block anymore ! The COVID containment really fueled some ideas at first but then after some time it just killed my inspiration I couldn't produce a single thing then things opened I started going out, working and I haven't had a beat block for months !! Recording my toplines and ideas with my phone when it pops into my mind really helped a lot starting things once I get back home too :)
Sure !For me , it's always a good way to experince the REAL life to bring ideas.
Bro that shit lit
bro watching this video while eating breafast hits diff fr
I have this technique for beat-matching your favourite reference track with Ableton: play your desired reference track in Traktor Pro 3 (not sure if other version support Ableton Link which is a must-have for this), where Traktor is already configured to sync with Ableton via Ableton Link - that will produce very close results you need in terms of beat-matching - and then you can record the result (outgoing sound from Traktor) in Ableton audio track at desired BPM (because both ends are almost perfectly synced), using either loopback of your audio interface or you can re-configure Traktor to use Cable-VB virtual audio or some other solution that will route your Traktor's out to Ableton's in. Easy-peasy.
So much thnx
nice new camera angles
Starting is not a problem here, often finishing tracks is, same for focusing on what works versus getting rid of the lesser ideas in tracks (which to a large extend is subjective). Sometimes trying out a new plugin on an old 8 bar loop idea with potential can branch out a few extra minutes and potentially spark a new track. Also, with the cheap storage nowadays, you can easily store different variations of the same track, create variation in productions (VIPs :)), replace/add effects & re-arrange. Being an old head that started on floppy disks, the memory limit is still baked in my brain and it is something I have to remind myself :) .
12:28 B-roll hits different bro
12:38 Oh nooo, not that accident 😭 🤣
