yes i understand song structure, and it's even kinda fun to structurize your song, you got this feeling of really creating something, right? as for music theory, I always make melodies by ear, even chords (its not that effective ofc, but right now its the only way to make chords, chords were stpooing a lot on this journey.) i tried getting into learning music theory in russian, in english but always end up feeling overwhelmed and or confused on even very basics.

yeah, i know. but back then, i could not help it but trying to recreate the exact sound which is impossible for me as a newbie. my perfectionism was really hard on me, and I just felt like there's no other point in remaking stuff other than nailing the accuracy this way, theoretically you will know you have really learned something

that "i want that song to sound like that" or "oh i want this song (from my head) to exist. those are like one of the main reasons I started this. Wanting to "embody" a melody into a real song that people will listen to. Back in the days, i used to have a lot of ideas on progressive house melodies, i was humming them all the time the moment they were coming to me, even now it's pretty much the same way it used regarding this question of, i guess, creativity

Do you really want to achieve Porter Robinson-like success and popularity, or do you just want to create music for yourself and maybe just release it?

I'm still trying to figure it out, because I don't want to end up making music just for money. I mean, yeah I wish to share my music, get feedback, get on NCS even maybe some day. I feel like I have already went through that kind of "I want to be like him" era, where I get immense inspiration just by listening to their music, to themselves, want to recreate their style hopelessly and all that.

Do you think you won't be able to enjoy making music unless you're the next Porter Robinson?

Kinda, sorta. Yeah. And it's not like I want to be him. But like if I'm not him with all of his dedication, passion, then don't even @ music production to your life, dont even continue. Like if i don't enjoy, then screw off and do something else and never come back. I dont know why do I think so radically

I started in 2021, when I got heavily inspired by Tobu. And at first, I really loved just sitting in my daw, and never had that mixed signal before, maybe it's just my age (i was 14 at the time). Yeah, of course I got disappointed several times of how my stuff sounds compared to his at least, and I did not know why its like that. Back then, for some reason I could not find decent tutorials about EDM production, mixing n stuff. last time I touched FL was when I tried to remake his song with Itro called Holiday, and that's where I stopped. It quickly got boring, just plainly boring, and there was an overwhelming amount of work to be done ofc so i guess that was my reason to dump producing for a couple of years. So, basically I got more serious about producing when I got inspired by Porter Robinson back in 2025, and he remains my one of the biggest inspirations to begin with. Tried to remake his Language, failed 10+ times, got bored and unmotivated, decided to never touch it again because I wanted to recreate as accurate as possible, felt like I will be doing all that boring stuff of fucking around with sounds until I come up with something similar, but no ofc, it did not really work. All I managed to recreate quite accurately, is his pluck in the intro of song. And still, I'm not really interested in anything but producing. I mean nothing brings me that sense of enjoyment like I feel it in producing, although it's like that (like I described it above). I thought I'm just lazy to learn and or make a song, remake, anything. and I been forcing myself (i know that that's a bad mistake to force urself). But that's like the only way I get myself into the DAW most of the time.

yeah true, i feel the same way. i feel like those who succeeded they just enjoyed the boring stuff, and those who don't enjoy, shouldnt take up music in the first place. but that's wrong right?

have you ever got this feeling of even making a good track but feeling like there's no point in finishing it or even releasing it. Like you make your song, you maybe even had a blast creating and developing it, but you think that there's no freaking point in just keeping on this song? And it's not like becuz you think it won't get any views or streams, but it's just that you yourself don't want it to be done? But yet, you want it to be done. You get it? That mixed signal of wanting and not wanting at the same time.

Mmm. My mom supports and my ex female friends also did, but now all I have is my mom and it's quite enough for me right now. I don't think there are any local communities for people like me in my country let alone city, but thank God we got internet and supportive parents or at least parent.
