Every now and then creative professionals get the all time bothersome writers block. Producers block can be described as a point when your mind goes completely blank when trying to come up with ideas to finish or start a project. This may be cause by a work overload, working on something your not interested in, or working on something for the wrong, as well as others causes. This can be a bad thing if you have a deadline approaching. Remember everyone struggles with ideas from time to time. Our brains need time to rest. After you go through the phase of having producers block, many times the best ideas come into play b/c your brain has been recharged. Don’t get upset if you can’t come up with any ideas at the moment. Just relax and try following these steps.
These are some ideas to overcome producers block:
1) Clear your mind – step away from working on the project for a while. Try going out, hanging with friends or doing something you enjoy.
2) Go to a concert or venue where artists/producers are to get ideas. (Avoid coping other peoples styles)
3) If you know you music scales try improvising to come up with a different melody or rhythm.
4) Don’t force yourself. (Forcing yourself to come up with something will only make matters worse)
5) Communicate with other producers. (Networking with others may teach you strategies to accomplish your work.
6) Attend Music (Producers) Seminars (Performing Rights Orgainizations such as ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and others host seminar and producers or songwriting workshops several times a month)
7) Collab. with others. (Sometimes working with others whether it be creating a song together, having someone else mix your song or vice versa can allow you to see the creative style of others)
8) Change your workflow (Change the order in which you do things or add something new)
9) Listen to other genre’s (Listening to other genres such as pop, country, rap, jazz, hip hop, r&b, as well as many others will spark up ideas to incorporate in your own music)
