Wverytime I sit down at a computer to make music I get so scared

#i like siting down with a guitar and writing music but the daw is still so scary to me and i dont know how to make it less scary #its like i dont know where to start #i understand music theory i can write chord progressions i can write melodies but arranging feels so daunting #like just trying to pick keyboard voices and stuff im like overwhelmed and then its like i just dont even know where to start #i think i need to do more covers to practice arranging because trying to do it with my own songs im just like i have NO IDEA #i do think that trying to recreate arrangements of other songs I like will help me but also just idk #i really want to get better at writing at the piano but i find it really hard #rn i write almost all my songs on the guitar then i guess what i have to do is try to think of like what style i want it to have #and sort of try to create a map like probably literally on paper and then try to go in and sort of do it but god its so hard i dont know #it feels so so daunting #even trying to make silly little stuff with just like some synths is really hard for me right now its so out of my comfort zone and AUGH id #its frustrating im scared of the computer but i also very much do not want to be an acoustic singer songwriter but thats all i can do #because all i can do is play fucking guitar!!!! and its just so frustrating #technically im like with a midi controller i should be able to do whatever program drums write little synth lines etc i dont have to like #know how to play piano and yet whenever i try to do it i just get so overwhelmed and freaked out with how many possibilities there are #that i just . cannnnnt #AHGHHHHHHHHHHHH im so im in such a bad mood right ow #ive had such a horrible night honestly #i think i will just go engage in fixation for comfort and then go to bed sigh #i dont know what to do to improve at making music in the daw i guess ill just maybe try again this weekend to take another crack at it #god its just so frustrating that i only started writing songs 2 years ago and have only learned to use a daw in the last 3 months i WISH #that i was one of these teenagers who spent all my time writing silly songs and playing around with a midi controller but i just didnt #because i was scared!!!!!!!#playing the guitar and singing has always been like the only thing that felt safe cos i felt if i tried to actually write and arrange songs #by myself i would fail so now i just feel so frustrated because i dont feel like a real musician and i feel like im starting too late #AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH whatever sorry for using the tags of this post as my diary but #i am frustrated!!!!

got the ableton live free trial and i am Living

#my music #musicians on tumblr #synthwave #just a little tryout but man this daw is so cool and theres so many resources and tutorials to work with #and i get to use my midi keyboard its very fun i love it #And its a one time license instead of monthly so this is going on my christmas/bday list #this is what most of my stuff looks like in the daw btw its the same thing but just building up and layering #why make it complicated when simple sounds great #though im definitely still learning and gonna try more complex stuff like this already has automations and effects but i want more #who knows maybe i can work with this and itll be on my next ep whenever that happens

Damn, that's a lot of good art this year, if I can say so myself

#art #year in review #also I actually did draw in February - none of these dawings ended up looking good tho #but I've surely learned something from them 👍

curse milgram for making me want to get back into trying to learn how to make music.......

#milgran't #unfortunately my musical experience starts and ends with being able to crudely play a couple zelda songs on the piano #pain and suffering on planet very-legally-acquired DAW...#having to persevere even in the face of not-going-to-be-perfect-at-this-thing-first-try... cruel and unusual punishment!#i have a couple small melodies i made back when i was first learning that i now no longer remember how the fuck i even did them #so im desperately shaking them to reveal to me the secrets they hold..

I don’t think I’ve jerked off in like two months

#txt #why jerk off when I can spend all my time and energy learning a daw #and watching basketball and eating food :3

Guitar cheat code: change the key until you get the four chords you can actually play

#C E G Am my beloved #we can throw D Em and F on there #(the joke for my non musically inclined followers is that 85% of pop songs can be simplified to four chords #also going to uh make a tag for my music stuff #maybe if I'm feeling adventurous I'll post some tracks I made they're very simple though #DAWs confuse me but I think I'm gonna have to suck it up and learn to use my midi keyboard if I want to do advanced composing #anyway #alto does music

in the last few days i’ve programmed my first microgame and made my first piece of music so. let’s fucking goooo--

#it's not a whole song #it's a loop! for a game! to learn how DAWs work #because the first time i attempted to work with a DAW that wasn't garageband i wanted to cry

the fun part about making music for me is that i know absolutely nothing about doing it, i think

#though this is admittedly something that also pisses me off when i want to go for something specific rather than just a feeling i have #i have been trying to like.. actually learn though so there's that #actual DAWs just intimidate me and are hard for me to wrap my head around but i suppose that rome wasn't built in a day #moss talks

i wanna get into doing music so bad but there's so much secret math in there. anyone got tips for learning music theory and guitar when you got dyscalculia/dyslexia

#all the beginner music theory videos are centered around piano keys. i don't anything remotely pianolike #why do some chords sound like they're going up and some are going down #tried a daw but it was so controlled by hotkeys which are something i have a hard time learning #i only use like 3-4 hotkeys even in digital art programs i've been using for years i just click all the buttons manually like an animal #tried musecore but got only like 3 measures in before i got too mad i couldn't guess what a chord would sound like before putting it down

I neeeeed to work on my own music but I'm having way too much fun picking a new tmbg song to cover every day

#and then literally just putting the files aside and notshowing them to anybody LOL but really its good practice its helping me learn #the ins and outs of my daw and its just a blast and analyzing other peoples songwriting and arrangement choices is i think helpful in the #long run or at least i hope so or else this has all been for naught . But its also just Really really fun #doing thunderbird today :) !!!#Cant judge myself for too much for just busting out covers instead of working on my own music because the banging my head against a wall #until i suddenly become to the type of person who will consistently work on my own music approach has not been working and i was feeling #very burnt out. so i think any project that has me actually recording something and enjoying doing it and it actually also has me Practicin #like ive gotten much better as a keyboardist since i started doing this #Is a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So its okay! In a couple weeks maybe ill ready to tackle my own songs again
