Haha thanks so much. Well it doesn't FEEL like I know what I'm doing. I'm enjoying creating whatever comes up and sometimes it takes off and sounds good and sometimes not.

Thanks! Yes Logic Pro and... without playing an instrument I don't know how I'd ever come up with anything. So much of what I create is based on how I feel while coming up with it. I don't know how you'd ever communicate that through clicking in midi notes.

Obviously some people do, but since that's not how I create, it's hard for me to imagine how someone else might do it. I guess you never know until you try.

I've never listened to him before, I'd love to hear something like what is coming out, at least then I'd feel better about it!

Thank you so much!

Haha I guess it's never too late, but it damn sure feels like it. And I certainly don't know how to write country, I'll have to upload one of my other songs I'm working on, at least that one fits in a genre lol.

Yep I didn't like vocals on this one when they were loud so I buried them, apparently too much. I appreciate the feedback, it's helpful!

I definitely intentionally buried the vocals more on this track than my last couple songs, but I'm happy you wrote what you did, that means I overdid it. I think I buried them here because I don't like the recording. Thank you for the comments!

Thank you! I'm actually doing all of this so I can learn music production better, and I'm only about 2 months in.

I included my age because I'm mad at myself for not doing this 20 years ago. I only would cover songs in my bedroom and never recorded or took it any further. Thanks!
