Changing your mindset
Walking into a new hobby is easy to do. Pursuing the hobby is beyond difficult. Tons of "producers" walk into the field of music underestimating the amount of time and perseverance it takes to achieve your goal. What makes you different from one of these kinds of people? The goal here is not to discourage you, but to reveal the kinds of obstacles that we face when beginning music production so that you may overcome them!
Making music for fun:
When I started producing tunes on my laptop, it was 2016 and I gave it a try simply because I wanted to have fun. Having this mindset, I was able to continue enjoying the process of making terrible music until I improved. After a year and a half of composing, people encouraged me to promote my music on other channels! I always accepted these remarks as compliments but ended up ignoring them. Music for me was something I did for fun, not money. I ended up trying to sell my music to promotion channels just so I could gain some exposure and recognition. I found when I made music for other people instead of just enjoying the process, I was no longer able to be creative and express myself through the hobby I love. What was once my escape from the real world became something I would avoid because it got me down.
Recently, I gave music a second chance. I changed my mindset and had some fun. I produced a song I thought would be impossible for someone like me. The biggest tip I could give anyone who is interested in music would be to just have fun and make music for yourself and not other people.
I will be showing certain tracks I have made during these time periods to show examples!
