Recently I've been experimenting with various nootropics because I have some attention and focus issues and always have done (probably mild ADD, if such a thing exists). I was always a skeptic about these "smart drugs" but am finding that they actually do work. There are loads of them and they all have different effects, it's all about getting the right "stack" to work for you. Last night I took a Huperzine pill in the evening for the first time. Boy was that a mistake. ONLY take these things in the daytime. I tossed and turned for about 90 minutes unable to sleep, and these surges of terrifyingly intense focus would hit me that almost paralyzed me - I'd have to flip over to "escape" the paralysis. Then eventually when I did drop off, the "damn I can't sleep" theme persisted throughout one of the most screwed up dreams I've ever had, one of those really lucid ones full of horror that leave you traumatized in the morning. That's some powerful stuff, in my mind anyway. Took some this morning figuring it's probably the best time for it, lol. And now I do feel super focused. These things are like steroids for the brain though - no point taking them unless you plan to exercise your brain on something. Out come the PDF manuals......

So are focused enough today to get one of those 100+ track projects completed so we can hear it?

No amount of focus will turn Sonar into a fully working DAW unfortunately.

need more botox?
 
eta: if you're really "experimenting with various nootropics" you should at least keep a blog, or vlog for higher ad income

I have enough trouble wading through all of the other nootropics blogs. It's one of those things where it's almost impossible to find any kind of consensus.

still, keep notes!
eta: cos like you say it's about finding the right stack or combo, but that's on top of your own makeup, so the more data available the more likely some consensus comes through

There's always Reaper, Studio One, Samplitude etc. etc. etc.

That won't help me finish my unfinished Sonar projects. Although I'm guessing you knew that.

Sounds like you need to get in on Azslow3's beta testing team; make the move to Reaper.
I must add though; as slow as I am at finishing projects, its not SONAR's fault.
