All you needed to do was set up a template ...essentially you set up a project to record and you do it one time. Add the synths you like and get it ready to go. Save it as a BLANK TEMPLATE and when you get ready to start a new project you simply load it and waaa laaa,,, it's ready to go in seconds.

No setup time required when the muse hits.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
