Hello, first time poster here, and this seems like a great place.

I am a college student and a graphic designer. When I started graphic designing in my teenage years, I watched some tutorial videos and joined communities to get the basics. The next was practice, practice, and practice. My artistic abilities gradually developed and I'm quite proud of my graphic designing career right now.

But when it comes to music, it's totally different for me. When I first tried producing music, I was terrified. I didn't know what to try out and how I should practice. I tried implementing the "algorithm" I used when I started graphic designing, college life, and a new language, but I simply got lost in the flood of information and my own knowledge gaps that held me back from going further. I studied the basics of almost every core aspect of music producing, but it didn't take me anywhere. This worked with everything else I tried out throughout my life!

So I'm starting producing again after I quit about two years ago. I know music theory and I am already familiar enough with the DAW I am using/used (Ableton). I already studied the basics of enginnering and music composition but I don't know where to go.

And this is the question: where should I start, and what should I do as somebody that is starting over?

P.S. I'm a long time music listener in general. I have tried listening to tracks as I break them down into layers but I lost motivation and stopped.
