I've been around music production my whole teen/adult life so I understand innately at least time signatures, when things should start and stop and the structures of a lot of modern western music.
I really struggle however with identifying keys, chords and choosing which chords/notes go together and those kinds of real world music production problems. And it's always impacted or slowed down my music production journey.
I have no desire or real need to learn classically trained stuff or read sheet music but really just want to be able to know things like "because this songs in A major, I should try a few of these notes" or "these are the notes that make up B minor" and play them etc. or from listening to my track and know "My bass is in C, but I think I should drop it to D at this point"
Up till this point I've relied on trial and error (as in keep hitting different notes till they sound right).
I'm very motivated to improve this aspect of my life so would really welcome your input on good ideas for structured learning to help with this.
Thank you.
