as I wrote in the book topic I really like the rick rubin book. it really well points to the very core issues why we sometimes struggle to create new art and defines it really well what we are actually doing when creating art and why.
for me my creative goals are to get a new MacBook and to streamline my studio so I need under 30 seconds to boot it up so to say and have it ready to create a new track. currently due to the old MacBook it takes much too long to get to the point where I really create a new track. if I can get it unter 10 seconds that would be perfect as I don't want to do "computer work" every time I want to start a new track. the analog rytm has to be ready. the keyboard has to be ready and all mapping has to be ready before. I need a track template I can work into right away. no wasting time with setting up filter chains or configuring in / out channels. all of that stops me from creating.
