Oh shit, alright.
That's pretty good.
But I meant like, I currently suck dick at playing, and if I turn into daddy's money CalArts experimental kid, I'll hang myself.

Use ableton
Brag about using ableton
Flame people for not using ableton
Become an ambient fag

See why the fuck is /mu/ better than /ic/ you fucks are so damn helpful. lookit all this information. meanwhile i hop in there and they tell me im a cunt for asking things. thank you /mu/, i love you.

Make what you love. Don't make music that you think will be popular or follow trends. Make what you love and hope that others will love it to. Best of luck man!

Yeah, but also things like being able to listen to your track and decide if the bass it too heavy or if the highs are too tinny, listening to someone else's music and pick out each instrument and hearing their interplay and taking inspiration from that, being able to get a "feel" for rhythm, and simply being able to know what notes and chords work together and don't clash etc etc.

np op. also consider becoming a tripfag and find a name that really embraces your love for ableton. Something like oh idk ableion?

/ic/ is full of really frustrated, angry beginners. I normally hate using the term "projecting," but in this case I can't think of a more appropriate term.
