I am not 'just beginning' (been making music since 1991...making electronic music since 1999)...but I'd say the biggest block always, and it still is, is my 'mind'.
Everything in life begins there.
The roots of my music are the blues. Maybe not for some, but perhaps one or two people reading this might listen to the blues, then wonder about the notes/chords they play, then try playing them themselves, and spend the next 20 years polishing that diamond. Perhaps it happens the same with other genres too.

The biggest struggle for many is just doing the required work.domsthetics wrote: Sun May 31, 2020 3:06 pm Hey guys, I’m trying to come up with ways to make the lives of beginner music producers/djs/artists easier and better understand the problems.
That's why I have two questions:
- As someone who is getting started with producing music, what are the biggest struggles you’re dealing with?
- Regarding music production, what would you wish for more than anything else?
Thanks so much in advance - Looking forward to reading all your answers!
Practice makes perfect are wise words.

Declaring a project finished. After a certain point, further dawdling with it is just like moving furniture around.
