Heya,
I need a motivation tuto urgently (not pills… hahahaha)… I’d like to know how you guys get yourself motivated for producing.
I don’t know if the environment is the problem or the fact that psytrance definitely must be a hobby occupation are the reason of my lack of motivation…. bahhh.
People in Barcelona don’t pay much attention for psy music… by the way one can be very happy by being house, electro, techno addictive here.

Ultimately its about entertainment. Whether its just yourself, or for an audience, eventually you will have to ask yourself whether the kick you get from entertaining is sustainable given that you could be using your time to produce something someone else would actually hold valuable enough to pay you for.
Making music these days is a bit like making wine. Really romantic - UP to the point where you have to subsidize others' listening or drinking so that they will give you attention. Really makes little sense otherwise.
If you do it to entertain yourself, then I suppose the reward is obvious.

hey dharmatronic i produce psy and live in barcelona too, you are right people dont care for psy here, very dissapointing but i think its because people dont care for music that much, its just an excuse too party and get drunk and they forget to listen.
About motivation i sugest smoking a joint or having a beer, or both jaja, and imagine a track in your head, no matter if its intro bass or whatever and try recreating it, or imagine a sound you would like to achieve and experiment untill your near, at the end youll see that you end up with lots of stuff to work with

latley ive been tring hard to get motivation too but I keep on doing what I always do smoke a joint and get going....but what I realized is that its kinda hard to get creative behind 4 walls so now i just take my laptop outside and play outside I just think it makes me feel closer to nature and its a pretty cool feeling like whey you playing back a track you dont feel constricted by the walls but you are outside...idk its like inside i just get these weird gloomy vibes but outside it just feels good...lol...now I dont really like to make music inside its not all that motivational but sometimes necesary so i only do it when i really really have to...but then again its not really creativity but the technical side of the brain im accesing when i have to mix inside
so its all right i guess

Produce when you're in the mood, well this is kinda obvious i know but making music, mini beats, whatever when you're not in the right mind state is nothing but a waste of time.
Also, there's this thread aciduss created some time ago, something about "designing psychedelic roller coaster" but i can't find it right now, that thread may help you a bit.

Well,sometimes being out of mood and still forcing yourself to work can bring the mood even more when you hit the wave.No time being a slacker in our modern age Even if the tune comes out shit,you still practiced,and practice ain't never be bad,i say so.Or,you still make them tiny bits of briliance which you can use later.
But shit yea on the mood thingy,and also them creativity factor.Lucky for the second,all ones gotta do (me so at list) is tidy the room,put the soft lights on,put the lava lamp on,smoke them fatty ass ,put my favority sci-fi series with the great sci-fi music,and good to go after a while
From all the things I lost,that sandwitch cost me most :)

If in Barcelona people don't care that much for psytrance, that should be a + factor for your state of mind when you're making tunes you know, you're a bit different from all the black and white bodies.

stay away from drugs, get out into the fresh air, go swimming, goto gym, go rock climbing, do anything that gets your juices flowing.
Be active, get fit and healthy these things hel you with everything, hel you not to stagnate into a vegetable and hide away in your little dark room.
