  "Every director has a hundred bad movies." - Steven Spielberg

  So, make those bad movies as quickly as possible, this is my suggestion.

• Throw ideas out: Now that you know the advanced features of Live and editing, don't be afraid to experiment.

• Spend time sketching: Consider dedicating a few hours a day, a few times a week, to building sketches and concepts.

• Keep it fun: Don't get obsessed with finishing a song just yet, just play around!
