get inspired / create 20 new drafts
noodle with those 20 different drafts for 5 years
publish a few
no plays, no favorites / confidence shot
leave audiotool
get inspired, come back and create 20 new drafts
begin noodling process

try to use a heisenberg
fail anytime you try to do anything complex or new
finally create a decent sound by following KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
Save the track for later
Open it up on another device
It sounds completely different and BAD
try everything to fix the sound on this device
Finally come to something not close enough to how it sounded originally
Save the track for later
Go back to the original device
It sounds worse on this one now too
track now sounds worse for no apparent reason
Add delay to crutch
okay that kind of fixed it
phew

you mean 'artist block'?
You can't write music, you create it from sounds.

You definitely write music. Songwriting, scores, etc. That includes the music.

A new bug perhaps? I have seen another person say the same thing to me
