Taking stimulants and production.

[God]

Coffee, Red Bull, Mountain Dew, Monster... and then that "other stuff".

Any of y'all divulge in some serious stimulants to stay up through a long session?

I drank approximately 8 Red Bulls in the span of a couple hours. Still was tired.

 

[StressWon]

"other stuff" usually helps. I take 5 hour shots when I do a show especially when i do not know what time I'll be goin on.

RED BULL ALL DAY in the studio. Its a proven fact that more hot shit comes out when we do as compared to when we dont.....

Mary Jane is my music fuel. I can stay up for hours making music out of love alone, the MJ supplies the inspiration.
I doint have too many stimulants, unless you count the caffeine in coke, I get plenty of that.

 

[MagnaOpera]

watch your redbull intake... caffeine ain't to be fucked with in large quantities.

Brew, session will be limited to 7 hours max. Usually with good results, just gotta remember to hit "Save" or its all for naught.

generally the hyper i am ... the better ..especially at a show..had two shows last weekend .. i was jumping all over the place like a maniac .. it was great.. i didnt take anything tho.. they were earlier shows tho.. all the shows ive had lately have been early .. like between 7 -10, and i knew beforehand what time i was going on.. it makes a diffrence. like stress said, it sucks when u dont know what time ur going on .. if u show up 8pm sharp at and dont go on untill 1am that pretty much knocks the energy right outta u if theres a bunch of wack acts before u. by the time u get up there the crowd has dispersed or ran out of steam. ... ive def spit/made beats on that "other stuff" before with good results. Energy drinks are great too. I lil bit of Alchohol seems to help me sometimes.

Try Adderall or Ritalin lol I know many musicians who takes it to keep them focused

I actually go with the brew to calm me down when I'm thinking a million miles a minute. I've cut drinking a considerable amount within the past couple years. I still have bottles of liquor on my fridge from New Years that haven't been touched. That shit'll fuck up a liver or two... So I'm trying to stay a little healthier.

I used to drink during my music thing...but I found it to be counterproductive at times after a buzz.. So I'll have a beer or two while I do my thing...

lol yeah if you want to feel like you've been on a meth bender for a few weeks... that shit makes you feel gross.

cigarettes

Sleep, always seems to do the trick for me. But it's been about 3 weeks since I even touched the music since my girl was having contractions about a week before the little guy turned up. He sleeps a lot more than we thought he would, so I'm gonna be moving my music downstairs later and getting on with me beats.

yeah, I really find that helps too. you aim to impress more when people are sitting around.
and they can throw in the odd good idea too.

 

[afriquedeluxe]

am trying to stay off the redbull and caffeines (took a lot of that stuff while revising) it has pretty crappy side effects.

I hear carbs make you more sleepy while proteins do the opposite. so ill be munching a beef burger while making some beats tonight lol
