Make multiple sessions
Dope is useful for sound exploration, and to experience somewhat what the audience is experiencing.. but it also helps to loose focus as mentioned previously.
So you can have some sessions where you're bombed, and make a bunch of stuff, but latter on it should be better to have a session where your head is clean, and finish those tracks and polish everything up.

it definitely helps on the creative side of things. on more technical part it is just neutral for me.

Stoned on weed? or anything goes?
Well for weed i think you can smoke if you are driven enough, the case is if you are driven enough you can take what ever you want.
But A good Sativa is best for working, too much indica and you get too slow and dreamy. But of course just a little hit of some good indica and its great for dreamy stuff. Too much and you just want to lay down
The best is when you smoke some good creative weed or hash, and take a break from music and when you go and smoke you think about what needs to be done and you go and do it when you come back..
Sometimes you are not driven enough to work seriously with music so it dont matter, getting stoned will only make it worse cause you will get even more distracted.
Commit to a project and struggle with it. Of course learning new stuff and fiddle is a good thing, but when you dont acomplish you start to get low self asteem and you need confidence to work hard!
Getting stoned or not, you cant blame anything for your own shortcommings...
My problem is that when i have good energy and start work seriously i always get horny and if i do something about it my creative spark dies...
So constrain from sexual release is also a good thing if you want to work hard and get things done, at least for me, But if you have a good girl(Or boy) that give you good energy while having sex, and its not only you that give, than sex can be a good thing... So everything is not Black and white...
Get stoned, have sex and make great music, or dont!
Or just make some good tracks and motivate your self that when you are done you going to treat your self with some sweet girls and some nice weed..
Anything goes!!

I have pretty much made ALL of my music stoned! I get more into the music & feel it really helps my creations. Some of the best tracks have been pretty much done in one straight stoned session!
If i'm sober i'll feel it's much harder to commit to something for some strange reason. Always mix when sober though!

For me personally i would have to say no.
There is nothing like getting a good 8 hours sleep, a great breakfast, a swim in the ocean then making music when the sun is shining.
Thats what helps me

One thing that I notice is that you can hear it in the music if the producer uses substances. Ideas and frequency distribution , deatils and little fx tails all tell a story.
Some things you can not hear sober. Fact!
Drop some acid and fine details reveal themselves.
So, using analogy I conclude that producer had to be on acid while mixing to be able to manipulate sound in such intentional manner.
Psy is acid music people, why hide it. Wear it proudly! |

I realized that if i smoke too much i probably wont produce anything. just jamming around for an hour playing the same riff, hehehehe
also realized that i m much more productive at the morning, when i just woke up and have a clean rested mind, than, ie, at night, after a hard day of work and study |
