Hi there.

Indeed, it has been a long while since I last posted on here last. Infact, I think the last post was back in August time?, or something. One member of the Forum emailed me to see how things were going....

I am sorry to report that I have given up Music Production + Sound programming...........for what looks to be a long while. Well, at least until I can get my creativity / inspiration back, or a miracle happens. It does make me angry to admit that, because I spent months and all hours trying to gain inspiration and creativity and ways to overcome this. I guess it is alot braver than pretending. My dream was to become a Trance Producer as good as the next (hey, everyone is allowed to dream). Because creativity was not flowing, I Moved onto 80's stuff, but again, was really seriously unhappy with the result.

As for the Virus?, hell yes I will still be keeping *all of my gear*, because something inside me is still trying to fight the block, or whatever it is you call it. This time last year, I was riddled over with excitement and idea's for new music with getting my Virus for xmas and all, (I even paid for part of it). It makes me deeply sad to admit that the virus is now sat ontop of the unit collecting dust . I just can't seem to get that spark which I once had before. I really am not sure what it is, a weird setup if you ask me. The ideas are there, I Know what I want to make, but just can't make it?

But like always, I done my research and questions, found heartless answers to the amusement of others, so I guess there really is no need to cover them again. The virus will always give me some form of inspiration, I want to use it, no really... but right now its like I'm tied up. What ever the outcome out of this, the production gear has nothing to do with it (apart from speakers etc), I have a more than capable setup.

I'm not a newbie, I been playing a long, long time, and by now should have everything needed to adapt to proper production. However...

Laugh if you want, but one thing I strongly need is a kick up the ass, and perhaps fine tuned back into line. I need the spark guys....**

Until something special happens, my gear will remain put away permanently. I'm not giving up, but just to save the frustration (which is what I seem to endure the most more than anything).

Kind Regards

Gary M

PS: have a great Christmas.
