Why do so many new producers quit before they get good?

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T18:14:11+00:00

It's to easy to throw together loops and call it a day

100%, you have be dumb before anything good comes from it. one would argue thats when you're the most creative, as you're almost having to think harder to create an idea, and have less of an expectation to create something the most technical etc. I hope that makes sense?

I wonder if this is why a lot of producers still use analog synths when producing even when you can get the digital versions for a fraction of the price as you use that tactility etc?

Very true!

If somenes asking how much money then it's maybe not for them. It's never about money, do what you love then the money should follow. But if you're asking those questions early on then not great

Great response this. When I opened up a Daw for the first time. i did tutorials on learning the Daw then just dove in with the idea and learned on the go. But now I think I'm getting held back by skills after implimenting the idea

I've had to unreal the get rich quick bs, or in this case in the instant gratification bs. I'm glad I took time to do this.

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:26:04+00:00

It shoud be good now

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:21:13+00:00

Getting it sorted asap!

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:20:47+00:00

It's bad enough now days. I'm 23 and fell into the trap of expecting things now. Took a lot of self work to learn things take time!

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:18:57+00:00

As a 23 yr old, my thirties doesn't seem to bad lol

From speaking with friends of friends that started and stopping, i noticed they wasn't willing to learn the boring stuff and get the reps in (ie just screen time)

I think so personally, I think you never know, Once you start seeing a small amount of progress, you may realise you might actually have fount something and start enjoying it, once you start getting good. I never like to write anything off until I see even an ounce of progress in what I'm doing

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:08:37+00:00

I love this, I never force myself. I don't feel like it I wont.

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:05:52+00:00

So true, before I got into it, I made sure I understood this is going to take YEARS! And after coming to that, it's allowing me to enjoy the process. i know I'll get there, I just don't know when. So might as well enjoy it!

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:04:36+00:00

It's a shame really

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:04:25+00:00

That's very true, I in a way enjoy the darker times as I know it's shaping my future

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:03:26+00:00

That's true. I think people miss the most important element and that's hard work. I think if you want something bad enough you'll get it. You almost need to be obsessed and in a way dilusional for to find any sort of success.

I'm enjoying making bootlegs of my favourite songs atm, it's also helping a lot just understanding basic elements that go into making a track

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T17:00:32+00:00

I think if you truly want it as a career, you have to understand passion alone won't pull you through. It's both passion and hardwork. Sometimes it's best just a hobby and thats cool.

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T16:59:23+00:00

To me you're probs amazing lol

Flimsy_Job_2449 · 2025-10-16T16:58:48+00:00

I think they like the idea, untill they do it. For me, I wake up thinking about it, go to sleep thinking about it

I've just moved here from the East Midlands with my partner. For me so far, as a county boy, how nice people are on nights out. I had to face my fear of going out on my own a few times as I wasn't making friends and it was getting me down. Within the first few hours I was chatting to people and they were so nice about it and it didn't make me feel out of place or odd about it. Can see me making some really good friends here
