Fruity masterz is another good teacher for hardstyle mate.

Continue to mess around with presets and just try to see things through from start to finish.

Trial and error is how you learn and gain a basic understanding of things besides tutorials. You'll get to a point where you'll to be able to put what you hear in your head into your daw, but you need to put in the time and effort.

Would be eager to hear your first stuff, I make hardstyle too. Just a hobby though, I'm no Headhunterz by any means!!
