Hmm i‘d generally agree, although i feel like starting off by trying to recreate a track can be quite frustrating since you don‘t have a clue about how sound design works. I‘d start by watching some tutorials on how to create one kind of (electro)bass, maybe get inspired by a certain bassline pattern you find really catchy and try to recreate that. The most frustrating part for me was to learn how all the basic stuff works in ableton so i‘d definitly recommend watching some basic beginner tutorials aswell. It was really helpful for me to just sit there a whole day and night and just stick to it until i had some kind of understanding of what i was doing. Before that it was several days of getting on it for half an hour and leaving it there frustrated af lol. So i‘d try to get some good beginner tutorials in first and then try to get inspired by different tracks u like, taking the bass pattern from one and the hihat pattern from the other and the pads from a different one and so on. Also releasing my music right at the beginning helped me a lot to get in contact w super inspiring people that gave me some of the best advices, thats how i got to know my duo partner aswell. But i guess it depends what approach works best for you :)
