I don't get inspirations at all these days..
I have BM6 , virus TI , Nord G2 and fairly treated room with bass trap and deflectors.
I bought all these to make my self motivated.. now i have the gears and I'm not motivated to make music at all..
Some times I sit down and force my self to do some thing on my computer.. I can not get pass a loop. I have no creativity.
It is been around 8 months that I can not make music.. I thought this is a phase of life where i don't get inspired.. but that phase does not seem pass.
I had my album released which i made on normal JBl speakers.. with out any external synth. I use to have lots of inspirations to write music... Now i just don't get any where..
Also I have stopped taking any bookings cause I'm bored of playing same old tracks which i don't even like any more.
So where does inspirations come from?? why I don't have inspiration and creativity any more..

hey mate,
Try not putting so much pressure on yourself. Creativity takes time and forcing yourself to be creative just won't work.
try work out when you are most creative, after some tea, a swim or at night.
It happens to the best of us. One day you will just burst with creativity.
i also find that if i'm not listening to alot of other music that is being released, i lack inspiration.
I hope you find lots of inspiration and your music goes well!
goodluck

- Go do something else entirely. Go walk in the forest. Take your mind off music for a a while (day, week, months).
- Listen to music that inspires you.
- Do things you don't need inspiration for: build presets, cut samples, make a shitload of good kicks, watch tutorials about new sounds, ways of making music.
- Collaborate with another artist.
- Teach someone else how to make music.

Whenever you don't feel you have creativity, then two a a day or to of. If you really not wanna do this and you wanna learn more.
Then paste a track into your daw and copy some elements, copy and learn how to make the intro or something else in the track you choosing.
But don't take your mouth to full just take one thing at the time and when your are feeling lost, play the track so you can hear the sound again

Well, I think this is one of your problems. You say "you dont have inspiration", and the next thing you say is "I have this and that gear".
To me the two things aren't related, it won't be gear that triggers your motivation. OK, you get a new toy, you're excited about it and want to use it, but that feeling just goes away after some time when you get to know your tool.
Well, one of my best inspiration times was actually when I completely limited myself, I only had a crappy PC and nothing else as I had put my studio away for a couple of months.. But it's just a fluke, nothing is certain.
But for you, well I can't really tell what can push your buttons.. for motivation I think self-discipline is great: if you want to make music, then you should make it and not be "lazy" about it. For inspiration, well, if what you're currently doing isn't inspiring you, then try doing it differently. Figure out what is your biggest flaw, and start learning from there; try collaborating with someone else to bring in fresh ideas to the table; remix your tunes so you fall in love with them all over again.. many ideas! But most importantly, figure out your own thing that brings the glow into your eyes

See how your choices affect your life as a whole and set new priorities. Then have the festie treatment for start. Meet people and dive back into powerful musical/life memories and bring them back to life applied and combined with new technics. Inspiration can be a quite simple application of planned thoughts, a so called method! |

go to parties get in trance and go back in the studio , one of best way to the get the energie to create and share back into the music for me
you may lack creative energie and it s not in the studio with new gears you will get it but outside sharing with ppl , the nature ect.. imo |

getting all the gear you want could slow down your work, i know if i space out purchases it gives me time to master it and move on |

Sometimes when I have 0 inspiration, I will just pick a track that I like and plagiarize the shit out it. After a while you start thinking around the original track and start adding your own touches, flip a chord here, twist a knob there and suddenly you have a totally different track.
After all, inspiration is the product of something you've heard, tasted, felt, smelled or saw before which already makes it borrowed 
If that doesn't get you started, smoke weed.
