Reply to what helped YOU to become a better producer? [tips, advice, products, lessons?]

Hey community .

I am a reletively new house music producer, still experimenting with ideas, practising daily and always ready to learn new techniques, ideas and concepts to help better myself.

As I'm new to this community , I am not sure if this has been started before, but I figured I would try to make a thread to help EVERYONE in their producing journey.

How I aim to do this is to provide a simple place for people to share tips, tricks and advice that they found changed their mindset or ability levels, and would benefit others.

Any tips you have are bound to help at least ONE member so feel free to share!

• How do you arrange your tracks?
• How do you start a new track?
• What elements really help to make a track?
• How do you come up with ideas for melodies and basslines?
• Have you ever taken classes or lessons that helped you improve, or were they a waste of time/money?
• Have you purchased or read anything notable?

Anyway; you get the idea!
