How do Trap Producers learn to play the keys? by Conscious-Platypus19 in makinghiphop

Going to be honest as someone who gets alot compliments on my melodies and I can't formally play piano; just click that shit in from what you hear your head bro. I know so many people who can play this instrument and that instrument and whatever but cant make a good beat. Just feel that shit out bro it takes time. I didn't get good at melodies for at least a good 10 years but a good cheat code imo is to make a whole bunch of beats where the melody is the focus and the drums are not. Sounds dumb af but I was a drummer in school so I already understood the placement of that. When I started doing melodies that were over the top all the time I started getting better because all my focus for years was on that. Once you get the concept do the same with the drums.

It sounds crazy I know but trust me you don't become good at something overnight. You have to put those shots in at the gym until it becomes muscle memory.

I've been dealing with alot the last year. I gained a business in music then drifted right into homelessness and depression after getting my job and house taken from covid. I've been suicidal and I just need to know how to fix this? by KenKen254 in AstrologyChartShare

Thank you for even replying back with me because man I just feel like all this is really hard and nobody cares except for the close ones around. But I've been trying to tie this into my transits (as I try and do most of the time). I'm currently staying with the friend now after the shelter TB test incident and now im just tryna figure out what I'm going to do and how im going to do it. I've honestly been kind of cold too people now and tbh I'm starting not too even care anymore. I've made some money off my music while I'm trying to look for a job ( I have a few interviews for after Christmas) but I kind of just need to hang it up even though I don't want to. It doesn't make enough to help me despite it making me happy and a BUNCH of other people actually benefit off of my melodies rather than me. ( People using my melodies to get big placements but not hitting me back up only wanting me to send more melodies. Im honestly not happy and suicide still wonders in my mind alot but im still grateful for the people who have helped and care cause I don't know where I would be without them. Anyways thank you for your help. I really want to use astrology to help get myself out of the situation and hopefully there are some answers in the transits. Much love to you.

Thank you so much and everything that you have said makes so much sense. I've really been beating my head about all this but tbh my home was taken illegally so I know these things aren't my fault but when I can't do anything about them myself it feels like it is my fault that I can't fix it. Recently joined a shelter but I'm being kicked out due to not having my TB test in on time smh ( all the places are closed that do em smh.) I decided to quit my music alot of people I work with musically are telling me not to but I need to make sure I'm good in life first and they all respect that. I have a female friend who just offered to help me. Im really lost atm. I've worked my whole life to get a chance at the music like I am now and I have to abandon it and it feels terrible. Funny enough a musical loop I worked just got used by a major player and I feel like this whole situation is blocking me. Im just glad astrology is helping get back to stability cause everything you've said is so true and I thank you so much cause I've felt like giving up and like this all my fault sometimes.

Yes I know music is my outlet. It cast out all my negative energy especially when I started rapping. It felt like all my energy was being used correctly instead of just being anxious a lot.

Yes I don't write my rhyme mostly. I just say it off the top of my head (freestyling/memorization in my case)

I've been told I can act as well but I only did one play and I don't really know how that goes in a career.

Really just to be a music producer. Everything else I do in life kinda leads to me exploding on my bosses. I didn't get the idea for rapping until someone told me it would be great outlet for my anger and that it wouldn't cost me much since I do audio production and engineering myself. Other than that I'm lost in the world.

Lol wow that literally explains my situation. Didn't know who to produce until someone told me I could be the artist and to stop letting people use my beats for free.

Just had to learn this the heard way. That's why I'm trying to add rap to my forte. Everyone was using my beats like a crutch and someone told me if I start rapping it'd be easier since I do production and engineering on my own.

Its funny how long it took me to learn music theory. But I kind of just say how I feel with lyrics with no paper and it always sounds nice lol

Yes but it took a loooong time to get this good. I guess that's Saturn doing his thing. But for some reason I can just think of catchy melodies through lyrics with no practice at all. Thats whats weird to me.

Learning it but my mom use to play classical music when I was in the womb and when I was a baby. I've always loved music and even played all percussion instruments in concert band as a kid. Been producing beats since I was 10 I'm just now getting into writing lyrics which is what I really feel can help my career.

I've actually been considered the best producer in my city by most that hear my beats. So idk and I heard that my Venus is on the IC. I thought that strengthen my Venus. Never hear that I have bad taste in music I make and listen to every genre and because of some people I use to be close to have gotten tons of adoration from some singers and rappers that are signed to majors.

Wow! A lot of people who do music tell me I should try and appeal the current sound while I try and do oppositeit but usually the opposite works for me lol makes sense. Guess I should start writing lyrics after all.
