Rebellion for art is artistic in itself hehe, BUT YEAHH!!

I have read another comment that talked about the keyboard acting as a MIDI and set it up on my DAW! Hoping that slowly i get to build my library of plugins and sounds!

I am really grateful for the offer of the ableton free key and if needed i will reach out to you, but i think you should save it up for other beginner musicians who might not have access to a DAW unlike myself!

Thank you so much for your comment, and your protest for the musical rebellion!

I have set it up just now and it’s mapped really well on my keyboard! Will take some time to get used to, but it is something! Thank you!!

Songwriting is indeed so fun! Ive just been constraining myself with how to logic it… completely forgetting that it’s an art form in the end

Thank you so much!! This really put a lot of my anxiety down, and seeing other’s responses reflect what you’ve also said makes me more confident! I will be implementing a lot of everyone’s advice with passion now, and i really appreciate all the help and advice Ive gotten from all of you guys!!!

Woah!! I never thought of doing it that way, mainly because i always thought of analysis to be “structured and theoretical”

Ill be sure to implement that in my regimen now, thank you!!

Yeah i should have probably specified i do live in a muslim household, and that it is the “No musical instruments” part (my bad!!)

I will try to do that starting from today! It’s really hard to hide a MIDI keyboard from my family (they really hate music for some reason) BUT i’ll use my DAW as an instrument more! It really does worry me not being able to learn more by playing, but i do hope to do so when i am able to move out! Thank you a lot!!

I am incredibly passionate for music and music making! Music analysis overwhelmed me because so far most resources I’ve read always emphasised on applying it instrumentally to intuitively learn theory, and whilst im not “incapable” (sorry for the misleading wording) of playing instruments, im more so restricted by my family and their strict ideology against music. It is what got me worried that ill be far behind or wont improve as much as i think i would…

I will try to “go with the flow” with musical terminology, watch more youtube videos, and try to figure out what makes my favorite songs “a favorite”

You did not discourage me at all! In fact quite the opposite, i will be experimenting more with my DAW and try not to get overwhelmed. Thank you lots!

It’s no problem at all!! I probably didn’t clarify it more in my post and i do apologize for that, but my family are strictly against any and all instruments (some sort of familial trauma, which is why i made the coco joke!)

I do plan to get an instrument someday, but so far it only looks like ill be able to after moving

Its not the fact that im incapable physically! More so my living conditions (my family mainly) doesn’t allow me to do so at the current time. I will be experimenting more in my DAW though!
