Weird question but must be asked . . .

Born To Make Music
Okay guys, I hope I don't get banned for this but this is getting very annoying.

Sometimes when I spend too much time on the computer - producing 45mins or more, I tend to go in and out of watching adult sites or CNN, etc Then back to Logic Pro.

Is this normal?

I wish I can just sit and make music.

Do I simply lack discipline or do most people go through this too?

Part of the process so to speak . . .

Thanks!
 
Probably fairly normal to get distracted but doesn't mean it's a good thing. Do your best to not get distracted. Try taking proper breaks away from the computer then coming back
 
You keep the internet on during that? One of asio optimization tips is to keep that off during beatmaking lol.
Not sure if it applies to windows 8-10 though [on 10]
 
Mindblown

I honestly never thought about turning the internet off. I will now. It's just that sometimes I look for sounds on YT and to be honest, that's where the distraction begins.

Thanks for the advice guys. Have to be more disciplined. No ifs ands or buts about it.
 
When I'm in the zone, there's no distraction. Only to return many, many hours later.

I'm guessing your not going in to your studio to create, the music production is equally apart of your procrastination or boredom as the other things.

My studio PC is rarely on line (only for installs). My procrastinating, mindless forum delving is done on the PC in the front room whilst listening to new promos, tunes to play, them the rules!!!

Have a watch of that, it will open up your understanding. You're seeking that quick fix, through lack of happiness in your endeavours. As it's such an easy one to find, with such a hit, it will get in the way.

I have a rule about semen in the studio...

NO SEMEN IN THE STUDIO!!

Watching porn is fine... But don't do it on the same computer you make music with and don't make a mess on your keyboard...
Get a cheap tablet for surfing, playing and porn; keep your music machine in good working order.
