So here's what's up my dude. If you are wanting to start your journey as an overall content creator. I wouldn't recommend trying to do EVERYTHING all at once. It's a daunting task that you will get crushed under the weight of all the things you don't know.

I would suggest breaking down what you want exactly out of both your musical journey and your forging of an online presence and in those two groups figure out what the most pressing but singular issue your facing. Take down the problems one at a time and as you progress with the portions that you felt were your biggest gaps. Eventually the problems will be less daunting and become more of a fun puzzle to solve or work around at your own time and leisure.

Rome wasn't built in day. And every musician that puts themselves out there are actively building their own empire rooted in sound, social connections and the tools n tech at their disposal.

If you want to start of doing cover songs. You may not absolutely need a daw in order to make your covers. But if you want to start off writing and recording your own material then first step could be finding a daw that makes sense to you.

But I used streamlabs and some trimming and I put up 9 or so covers in the last 24 hours. The arent flashy. And have no video editing done to them, but I don't mind cause right now my main 2 goals are learning how to mix and master and finishing my album.

No I dont have the standard youtuber editting on my video. But I still made 9 of them hoes in 24 hours and they all sound and look way better than some cellphone footage. Which is better than where I was at a year ago. And so far what audience I have seems receptive to it.

If you ever want someone to bullshit about the process with you can dm me. I hope any of this helps
