mattus123 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 New tunes is THE answerNothing will get u more motivated than buying a bunch of tracks that get you going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 cheers for ideas.been getting new tracks and get motivated to mess around. Just need to set aside a few hours a week i guess and stick to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 as everybody else has been saying new tunes,try set yourself a goal like a monthy mix/podcast which will push you to always be trying to do something different, even doing a weekly radio show.Definitely seeing live gigs is what pushes me as well.I know last year i had a several month break but since stereo last year provided i have the time (work) ill be mixing for 1~2hrs every 2nd day or so... and usually on thurs through to sunday ill do even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 back when i was playing every sat at a place near me, always practice 2 - 3 times a week but yeah. might be a good idea to try and push myself to do a monthly mix or something.

DJSocialApp Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Watch a few videos of your favourite artists online... Always seems to do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you can find some way to get extrinsic motivation it will help a lot (rather than trying to motivate yourself). For example, you could make a commitment to your friend that you will give them $5 if you don't make a mix by x date. Use the fear of loss to your advantage.

yizzle Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 ^ that could turn out a little frustrating though, and maybe not come up with a good mix?= seriously frustratedbut its an idea all the same. motivation by loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
