I’ve been wanting to make music for a while now but I never knew how exactly to start. I’ve watched some videos and taken a few (probably useless) notes. Every time I try to make anything (melodies, drum patterns, etc) I always end up cringing at myself and wouldn’t finish anything. That’s why I thought that making covers (1:1 instrumentals) of songs I like and artists I want to take inspiration from and eventually change it up enough to where I develop my own style. I feel like if I do this than I’ll be more familiar with the daw I’m using and be comfortable producing but I’m not sure if this is a good way to get into making music. Any advice or suggestions?
