So as far as choosing monitors I'm not to familiar on what I should be looking for, I'm looking something that has a good mids & lows, right now I'm working with a sound bar that has pretty good quality but, I feel like they're over exaggerated in sound & also really are meant for tv but, more importantly they're commercial listening speakers, as far as price range I'd pay $300 max for a single monitor since I'd be buying them apart so a total of like $600. I was referred to buy some Yamaha HS7 Monitors I liked them but, I'm looking at Behringer NEKKST K8 Audiophile Bi-Amped 8 Studio Monitors & not sure what to think, I'd like to have the flattest response but then again my hearing could be vey different so, I'm just trying to choose the best monitors for my money, I don't want to be cheap & regret the purchase for cheap monitors. If you have any other monitors, I appreciate the help & reference to know what I'm looking for, also thanks in advance!

How would you say you been more inspired to do this?

Do you think it'd be better if you'd gone to a university or are going to one?

Do you think you'd have or have the same opportunity to learn as much as the one in school or viceversa or maybe even more as a bedroom producer?

Which do you think is better?

So as I'm attempting to make a Future Bass track, I was wondering if the Chords follow a certain structure, the kicks, high-hats as well are they in eight notes? 16th's? Are the chords in 7nth's? Are compound intervals chords to much? Is bpm in 155? I've seen some in 110 others in 130 bpm? Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay, so I was wondering if I could get some pointers on how to be more efficient on sound design because whenever I come up with my melody & chords and move on to sound design, I can never get or settle for a sound I like. Is it because of lack experience? (been producing for about 2 years & a half years) is it my song writing? Is it me? My lack of experience? Lack of creativity? I can hear the sound I want in my head but can't come to produce the sound irl idk what it is. So I was wondering If can get advice, I want to create more future bass, D&B mixed with the dubstep style with the modern anjunabeats style sound.

So I listen to this track everyday & I'm just blown away by how beautifully the plucks sound, so blown away, that I feel like I they're tangible and I can touch them, I can literally create an image of what this sound might look like if it were real and tangible so I was wondering how would I go about on creating plucks like the ones after Zoe johnston she says "Keep on little dreamer" and then the chords like the ones after she says "Dream on little dreamer"

So the my question is if I should buy some monitors to have a clearer definition of the music I'm composing/producing or wait a bit longer and work on my cheap 20 buck monitors for desktop which isn't good at all....I ask this because I feel like I need a better understanding of sound and how it work before I got out and spend said money on monitors or am I wrong? I have a sounder that I believe is 80w the sub on it is not bad the speaker it's self is good but I feel like I'd get a different animal with actual monitors. I'm not a beginner in music but neither am I an ammeter since I haven't made something I'm proud of yet I'd say I'm 2 steps above beginner and one below average, I guess I'm "below Average" still learning tho but any advice? If I should get monitors what kind should I get? I want the best bang for my buck I'd say the most I'd spend for one is like 160 so a total of $370 I don't want cheap monitors that don't provide the sound quality that I want, I'd rather spend an extra 70 bucks than spend $80 on cheap none reliable ones I mean if there good than, I'd consider them but yeah Do you think it will also step my game up as far as sound quality goes if I do get  monitors as well?

Would you say you've improved? When did you start? Are you at the pint you want to be? Do you think you'll improve in time? Do you see yourself as wine getting better and better after years? I've been making creating music for about 2 years I don't call myself a producer yet because I feel I haven't earned that right because I hardly finish tracks cause I get bored with them or I get stuck I just feel like it has to be good or it won't get put out so I just buried them If I don't have fun with them anymore.

My first year of producing was when I was 17 which I hardly call producing was when I would get mdi files from garage band and stick them in and just think I was making music get audio files didn't care about keys or sound and the arrangement look like a huge long dragons tail with no layers lol along with I was learning how to use a new program I got like Logic 9 then moves to logic  X Then my second year was all about knowing how to properly construct a track still not very good then how to design sound still not good but I'd say my arrangement now has gotten better and better looking more organized I now layer also in the span of my second year I got a piano and now  year has passed since I got my piano I'm learning to play it better, I'm now am learning more in detail of how to build chords 2nd, 4th 5 major7 diminished dominant's etc, I'd ay I know where to go with my chords a bit better and how to progress them to a sound I like I haven't made chords that sound beautiful because I'm under the impression that chords have to end on beat tho I know that's completely wrong and this isn't the way it is in real life or how it should be I use pitch bend more now, velocity now I take a lot more into consideration  & experiment more now then actually produce tho I try to build tracks but still can't due to my lack of skills in sound design I'm stuck with maybe 4 VST's that I think are good tho I know all are good if you know how to use them I'd say I've improved in last 2 and half years my piano skills have gotten better and etc.

It's just sound design and how to progress a track and bridge it to a nice build then a main melody thats my problem also my chords want to resolve but I don't know how to resolve them so I'm trying to figure all of this out but I'm happy with the progress tho sometimes a lot of times actually it feels like I just started yesterday and I won't progress with my tracks or music in general so I give up and comeback tomorrow but this happens more than I'd like because when I here people like Mat Zo, Nero, Porter, Above & beyond, Kidswaste and people on Monstercat then go back to mine I feel completely demoralized and feel like crap so then I give up on my tracks anyways

How far have you come? Do you like your progress? what have or are your problems? are you still beginning? do you have some years on you and gotten to the point you want for now? do you believe in yourself to ever make beautiful music in time? What's your story? What do you want your story to be? I'd like to make it on Suicidesheep one day or monstercat and make a dream out of this into reality I dropped college for this what do you want to do with music? This is just a thread to let people know there are others like you such as myself that feel like garbage when they make music sometimes I hope to inspire and get inspires anyways yeah thanks also Don't ever give up on your dreams maybe all you need is time, patience, but you & I definitely need to put in work and read theory and fail learn to enjoy the process be it good or bad learn to fail and feel like shit, Don't give up. =D
