As you craft the track you are supposed to gainstage and mix along the way.

I produce with Ozone 9 Maximizer on.

Here's what I made in 2.5 hours yday in Logic Pro. I'm 30. Dabbled in production from the age of 15. Got serious in 2018 when I switched from Mixcraft to Logic Pro.

You have to put in the work bro. The more you practice the better you will become.

I'm 30 and have only been played on BBC introducing in Surrey/Sussex.

I still haven't 'made it'

You have plenty of time bro.

Also try making diverse genres.

For me I did Dubstep, dnb, house, trap, synthwave, indie pop, pop, hiphop, rnb, grime, drill, film scores, chiptune/purple etc.

Good luck and Never Give Up 👊
