And your tech tip is not fall on deaf ears, i will try it 
But we canāt say itās easy Bobby, so itās nice if people try to learn by they own, itās really not easy to do when you see all the informations (Wrong/Good on internet and also on pro video tutorial) you need to do the jobā¦ = itās bravery
Because of the independant music industry want to receive a ready trackā¦ in the past pro studio is paid by label when they are interesting by the projectā¦
So Electronic is easy but not !
_ Because you need to be scientist (Sound Synthesis) if you want to have your own sounds
_ You need to know a minimum of solfegis (rhythm, harmonyā¦ etc)
_ You need to be your own sound ingeneer (All weāve talked here)
_ You need to be capable to arrange/construct your track (at this point the best exercise is to take many of your prefered track, listen and wrote all the different aspect of constructionā¦)
_ You need to send a get ready pre-master (but sometimes it could be final master)
I think itās verry hardā¦ but at my point and i started my discography only last year, but i working hard for many years before to arrive to have really what i want, and where i would like to be in Artistic terms
I also see many many thing on internet and the first rules for me āif it sound good itās OKā Many people recommend high cost plugins or hardware, and many many people canāt offered allā¦ so many many people fall in the trap of piracy, as the DJ also (today)
Per example for a DJ, in past DJ are going with one prepared DJ bag (100 vinyls) and sometimes with a little one more BUT today with promo mp3 and laptop most of them is drowned in the number (mass)
You see what i (try) to mean but itās the same for studio, donāt need to have a lot of tools, just try and choose some good for your ears, learn and know fine your toolsā¦ finally youāll see you always use the same
Donāt be afraid to send question or call studio, or better go to see them and discuss a little about you for progressā¦ all people start one day, learn and growā¦ itās time and you must accept this, donāt try to go to fastā¦
Donāt be afraid also to ask what people (friend) think about your track, itās always good advise to takeā¦
Make pause, donāt work 15 days on the same track itās always bad !
And if you spend one day to do all, iām sure itās a loop or minimal song not yet readyā¦ spend a few more in constructionā¦ or itās a bonus (dj tool) in addition of one or two other great track (in this case no problem)
Hope it HELP
