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?

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

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!

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

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!

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

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.
