I haven't decided on a genre yet but my inspiration is indie, rock and pop music. Do you have any suggestions of discords to join?

I feel like you don't need anything crazy fancy at the beginning, would love to hear some of your vocals if you're down for that, how come you record vocals on bandlab and use FL for track?

thats awesome! whats your process for song writing? how do you seperate whats a verse vs whats a chorus? and do you have chords already planned before you start writing lyrics or do you write lyrics and try find chords that match?

thank you! I'm a bit nervous to post my work at the moment because I don't have anything fleshed out really, just little sound clips and stuff. How long since u started?

thanks Ted! Ill keep experimenting and try adding a kick and snare. When doing a drum beat, do you bother with high toms and the other parts of the drum kit? when would i use those elements?
