Practice what? Just practice whatever aspect of music making until you get a decent flow and don't have to think twice. For me it's more about spending time with different instruments (including electronics setups, like live looping) and explore what I am NOT capable of doing. Then I'll do my best to avoid those areas (or make a statement by destroying them) when making music. I think your goal must be to create just as exiting music when practicing at home as you try do do when on stage. Not sure if I would really call that "practicing"... he, he.. maybe "practicing performing" ;-) As for the weird looping I sometimes do you don't grow better *doing it* all over (is in the common meaning of "practicing"). What makes you better could be lying on a sofa thinking music and checking that you instantly know how to physically create the sounds you're thinking about when in front of your hands-on gear. Experience, knowledge and the excitement of inspiration is way more important. But of course, if you notice that your fingers don't move fast enough to the button you know you need to press to make your vision come true - then you would of course have to do some boring nerve and muscle training to form the body into a decent instrument. But when doing that you really have to be careful to not develop fixed chops! As soon as you master one thing you have to leave it and practice something else, or you run the risk of broilerizing yourself and fry your music ;-) Per On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 5:47 PM, kay'lon rushing <k3zz21@gmail.com> wrote: > How often and long would you recommend practice?
