Hi, this post might be annoying with all of you experts on here, sorry but I’m feeling so sad. I started a course of music production this spring. I like singing and sometimes write lyrics and sing melodies in my phone.I love music and singing. I want to be a songwriter and make songs for others. I started the course with 0 ecperience. I have very intense ADD and am recovering from a burnout. And i just cabt seem to focus and i get so frustrated with myself. I received cubase with the course and a book. Everything in the book is written so difficult for advanced people i just dont know where to start. Does anyone have tips for someone who is just starting out? I only have a macbook. I am going to borrow a midi controller from a friend next month. I dont play any instruments. How do I make a song in cubase. I guess i do have to purchase a microphone. And do i need to purchase a soundcard? Anyhow what are the best ways to get started other than watching turorials? How do I advance quickly? Any tips or thing i should do or know? Maybe hacks? Tips for cubase for dummies? Or maybe good websites books or videos?
All info will be greatly appreciated i feel very overwhelmed and just so sad i dont understand the book. Made be unmotivated and just want to quit and cry. I need to finish the course in 6 months or pay a fine and hand in a song i create before then. I need help. Sorry for bothering you pros.
Just start having fun and learn what you find interesting. There is no right or wrong. You can start of with a small soundcard like a scarlett with a simple microphone. Make it as simple as you can or you can drown in the information. Especially if you have adhd. Don’t raise the bar to high and don’t do everything at once. YT is a great teacher. I think better than books because its practical. Videos about the basics. Dom Sigalas has plenty of vids to get you up to date.
