Hmmmm...
Strongpoints:
I want to make music all the time
Making weird beats and working with samples
Melodies (I tend to love alot of the melodies I make  )
Ever-groing interest of getting better at this
Weak:
I want to make music all the time, even when I don`t (So i make music 50% focused)
Percussion (Per-CURSE-ion) (I think its boring to program)
Finishing tracks (can always fix a little more)
Workflow (I HATE bouncing tracks, so I tend to keep everything "live" as long as possible, resulting in massive cpu drain)
Im a lazy bastard

Just to clarify how I define them (generally):
Making a production: a bunch of sounds in an arrangement.
Making music: weaving sounds together to create a track.
Dunno if that makes sense to anyone, but that's what I was referring to .

so i think my weak point is that i m still making a production...
and my strongest...i dont know yet lol

My strong points:
- Clear picture "How I wanna sound" and giving myself a time to meet my targets (thinking music production as a good hobby, but taking it seriously)
- Good feeling about music and learning to product my own music
- Basslines + melodies
- Fast "writing", composing and music theory
- Willingness to play my music at the stage some day and not being ashamed
- Compressing (usually I make better EQ-job with a compressor than with EQ itself)
 My weak points:
-All basic
- synthesis (I think this is an area I missed out bad-time. I tried to fix all problems with an EQ while the problem was in a root sound. Now I'm trying to develop this skill all-time)
- EQ (I'm a rookie and trying to get rid of EQ use for good. Found out it's better to tweak sound in a synth than use too much EQ, Now learning to use Synth and maybe some day I'll come back with "heavy" EQ use, again to see It's "senseless"
- Finishing a track (This is always problematic, Everytime (if it evenhappens) I come up with a nice tune or good sounding foundamental It's possilibity to fail finishing the whole song cos lots of tweaking
-Reverbs (cannot really make those endless reverbs for leads and cannot really fit all sounds together with a reverb )
- Being satisfied about results (does not happen so often)
- Releasing any tracks (Don't really feel so comfortable to realease my stuff at the moment)
-CONCENTRATING TO USE MY OWN EARS WITHOUT BEING DISTURBED ALL THAT STUFF I HEARD FROM NET

Not if you save it for last... then it becomes very tedious! but if you do it directly its okej =)
but maybe you want to add some automation and dont have the rest of the arrangement..
also when you become tired you make mistakes.. hehe

I'm good at
-Melodies
-Rhythms
-Breaks
-Movement in songs
-can play in many different styles that will add to any psytrance song I work on
I need to improve on
-Effects
-Synthesis
-Glitching stuff manually
-Buffer edits
I remember Mind_os who used to post on here was awesome at it and we were gonna colab a while back, but he disappeared.
If anyone has Cubase4 and would like to collab on a tune. Hit me up. We can learn from eachother

I say dont roll a phat one at all and be totally focused!
i mean what the point in smoking weed anyway... if you dont have a bad cancer or are old and need pain relief..
really i think cannabis is very destructive if it dont have a purpose, and not to become fake spiritual or escape from problems.... having a fun time, yeah right, ohh i hear the music so much better..
you get lazy
you wanna jerk more
you forget things
you dont solve your problems cause its easier to just light a new one and dream away...

I agree, in theory. In practice I've noticed a much different result for myself. Yes, I get lazier when searching for perc samples to use and I often just zone out and listen to what I've made play over and over again too many times. But, in the end I always come away with a good product.
My method is just to get something started first, then move on to the extra curriculars . Also, coffee or anything with caffeine is a good side item. So is beer http://soundcloud.com/ascensionsound
