https://youtu.be/GfiiotMHSm4 I find your song. Displeasing. Life always has to be by the rules. Im supposed to be afraid of failure? Im supppsed to go find a REAL job instead of doing what the hell i wanna do with my life? I have no obligations to life. Not that i know of.
The world is a funny place. But i cant color inside of the lines if there arent any. Most of the world thinks there are. Of course there are some things we should amd shouldnt aspire for. But hey, in the end, its my/your/whoeverâs life.
Nah man, itâs a good tune. Iâm just saying what you are going through is not new and has happened to many people. That tune was from 1980 lol.
Do your thing, just start doing it.

Can you tell me what LFO stands for without googling it first?
You said your mom is gonna buy you a computer⌠is she gonna sign your contracts for you when you get signed to a label, too?
No?
you have a good attitude in my opinion. but you need to learn how to fit this mindset within society. unfortunately you have to, or youre gonna be alone. not that being alone is bad, but you got my pointâŚ
why would she buy you an expensive peace of gear (laptop) and not spend 10 or whatever on something?
also you could ask a friend or a neighbour or work for 2 hours, mow thelawn or whatsoever. the money you would need to buy something like caustic that was mentioned is earned so quickly so i dont get why you dont do anything about it

get experience. do research. you canât make posts on the production board when you donât know anything of what youâre talking about. you need to start researching. you can put it off for as long as you want and keep telling yourself that youâre a producer, but there are so many tomorrows.
Guess you missed the part where i said i was gonna start doing research. And i CAN post stuff on here if i dont know what im talking about. Maybe you should reread what i wrote. The title amd all.
Shes buying the laptop for when i go off to school next school year. If she wasnât, id be all over that ten dollars. To be honest, i hated the experiences i had from production apps on my phone. If the stuff you listed is even more complex than those apps, then my phone screen will be miniscule compared to all the complex stuff id be looking at. All that scrolling back and forth. Zooming in to make sure i tap the right thing.
This is why im trying to get a job at a grocery store. I literally just have to walk to the store tomorrow and tell the manager that i applied online and see what happens. Im trying to get money that i can save and then spend without her help.
This close to the country. People mow their own lawns and wash their own cars. No rich people out here that need their poodles walked either.
Shes not buying it because i want it. Only because she wants me to have one when i go to boarding school.
Big difference between you wanting something for you and a parent wanting something for you. Parents usually push for what they want for you more than what you want for you. I guess it depends on the situation and income amount they get over a certain period of time.
I dont know. I just reunited with strobe by deadmau5. It makes me wanna delete some stuff so i can redownload arpo/arpi (or whatever its called). Its a simple sequencer app, i believe. The preset sounds agitate me but i think pf other instances where i want to use preset sounds for songs. And that deadmau5 song sounds like something someone would create with preset sounds. But still original.
this thread is on a whole other level of mental.
donât rely on other people to fund your dreams. especially if they donât support it. my parents have never gave me a penny towards anything musical in my life. i wanted to play guitar when i was 14 so you know what i did? i went out and i found odd jobs mowing lawns doing whatever so i could by my own gear. then i taught myself. iâve played in bands, spent thousands on gear equipment, recording. i did all this with my own money i earned from busting my ass to achieve MY dreamsâŚand iâm still not there. . but it hasnât stopped me. music is an expensive hobby, live and digital.
like everyone has said producing isnât an easy road and it takes years. its kind of offending when i read your comments back to people who are just trying to HELP and ADVISE you on what you are about to traverse. most of us are rooting for you, not trying to put you down or squash your dreams. were are trying to tell you, through our years of experience, so you can make an informed decision on weather or not this is something you want to pursue. you have the drive and passion (so it seems) so i wouldnât squander all the knowledge people are trying to impart upon you with copping an attitude. not everything warrants a response.

Ok then. I see what youre getting at. Like i said before, theres been a little passive aggressive sarcasm even in posts where people were telling the trith. Its like they couldnt resist it. And people saying i have nothing to go on about because i havent even started producing yet? Thats pretty annoying and not useful at all. I dont take sarcasm over the net very well at times. I already have enough doubt. If i consume anymore then ill drop my dreams and live a dry life. Thats why i seem so stubborn. Im using it as a barrier to protect my dreams. Who knows what could happen to me? I live in fear that ill have a horrible life if i dont follow my dreams. I dont want to work in some boring office or whatever. It seems like people are against me sometimes. Im not asking for pity. Im just justifying any stupid things i may have said. I wouldnt even let my mom get away with insulting what i want for my future. I guess my behavior is just a survival tactic. One that needs to be tweaked, it seems.
tbh it doesnât seem you want to make music, seems like you just want to be THE GUY that makes music.
its not so complicated, if youâre serious about wanting it, go read stuff regarding production/instruments/daws/music theory instead of posting about your carreer which doesnât even exist yet. The more you spend just dreaming about it, the closer you are to your boring office job.

For the last time, i already said i was going to research.
Youre not the only one surprised.
I dont know if i agree with this. I remember the moments when i said âi want to do this.â I was sitting in the computer chair discovering electronic (dubstep/house/moombahton) and i didnt for one second think about what the guy who makes music would appear like. I just wanted to be able to do it all like all the other big shots. I like the way music feels. I want to make the music id like to hear.
