Reply to If you're starting producing and want to give up... bloody dont

I'd dipped into DAWs a bit the last few years, fully submerged myself a few month ago. Produced some bloody awful tracks for a bit while getting to grips with synths, then things started to click together. Wrote my first track, catchy lead, absorbing, sounds good but bloody boring. Then I ended up producing with a local DJ who I'd done artwork (few years older than me) for previously and a guy who was a finalist in a DJ competition. Our track hit 100 downloads and 1000 views on soundcloud (my first major small success(?)) The DJ who I done artwork for moved to greece for the season and I practically locked myself in my bedroom/studio. Next thing I know I was applying for a job at a studio... I got the job, waiting on a start date now.

Don't give up, if your tracks are shitty then you still have that extremely satisfying initial learning curve ahead of you, worth every moment

For me I hope my skill grows and that I end up putting out more (and much better) music
