I want advice on gaining skills as a producer

Who is. Causa?

Not since computers. Even ā€œproduceā€ is too general; it makes it sound like farming. The best term might be ā€œcompose.ā€

Oh. Thanks. The things you can learn on dsf. ā€œMASSIVE!ā€ ā€œMENTAL!ā€

Its a bit weird your talking about your career as a musician/producer and your goal to change mainstream music culture or whatever and you haven’t even started.

Swear down when i started i didn’t think i’d ever make anything good enough to show someone else.

Should i doubt myself then? Maybe i should paint the walls of my room with my brains? Is that the plan then? Oh arent you the supporter? If it means anything, i got about four or five hundred beatboxed song ideas on my phone. Im currently straining out the bad ideas i came up with a long time ago. I probably come up with two or three a week. If im not lucky then i sometimes go a week with no ideas. I dont sit around and think whats the next beatbox. They just come to me when i beatbox, rarely right before i go to sleep/before i wake up, and sometimes they are just random. Other times i come up with an idea for a remix when i hear the original. Dont underestimate me mate. If you want to kill me before my wings come in, save your hostility until after i learn the hard way. Unless you want to be next on my list of people i have to disprove.

Experiences. Thats all.

Lol what, dude. Spit it out.

Drop your shoulders
Wrap your arms around the truth

You feel surrounded
The only chains are made by you
Drop your shoulders
Wrap your arms around the truth

You feel surrounded
The only chains are made by you

Struggle none
Fly away into this light

Become the heavens
Become the earth
Become the moon that shines so bright
Struggle none
Fly away into this light

Become the heavens
Become the earth
Become the moon that shines so bright
:Different Song:
She was
And she is

As long as she lives I know that the ground forgives

We waste
In the sea
And we’re drowning in the thickness of our own

Ignorance

These roads are her shackles

We waste in the sea
(Please stay here with me)

They’ll leave no Sun for her shadows

We’ll become someone else’s children when we lay her down to sleep

Our past lays waist deep
In the sea
(We won’t leave you, mother)
:Different Song:
Drop your shoulders
Wrap your arms around the truth

You feel surrounded
The only chains are made by you

Become the heavens
Become the earth
Become the moon that shines so bright

Struggle none
Fly away into this light
:Different Song:
It’s time to forget my mind
Loosen up these nails
That hold me down
Time to forget my mind
Time for the death of a world built on straight lines

Many artists spent years mastering their craft…there are a lot of producers in my area who started out making shit 4 years ago and now make half decent music. Odds are, that your first songs are going to sound like shit…but you’ll learn how to make it better and eventually you work will become good.

Ok. Thanks. That sounds about right.

Can you name some songs by them and/or you that i can listen to?

yeah… when i first got here i thought i could make skrillex level tracks in one take… Then i quit for a few months when i realized i only could make amped up triangle waves. That was a year ago… but im getting better and i learn everyday(not just from here but from facebook groups, other artists, other forums(dnb forum/neuro/reddit)).

Oh and remember… NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO NEVER USE OTHER PEOPLES PATCHES OR SAMPLES ALWAYS MAKE YOUR OWN.
