What's the hardest thing in music production for you?

Oh i hear ya man. Thats one thing about hiphop that i love is that its more about what you hear than the science of music. Just i see people who tend to work that way all the time and just seems more work than it should be. I dont really have the skill or the $ to pay play or have people play on my stuff but i love some gritty beats with some live instrumentation. Imagine the headache of having the guy play his instrument untuned or just pitch his performance and synching everything back.

haha yeh would be a nightmare!

Another thing that i find hard and i know is SIN around these parts is to read the whole manuals. I read a part and then get so into making beats that i just leave that ish behind. So hard to balance studying and play time

That is actually the best way to go about learning a machine... you read the first bit to get you going... then mess with the machine. When you get stuck again, read up on that exact feature or thing... and then test the feature out to see what it does. It gives you a hands on view of what the manual is talking about and you can hear what is impossible to describe with words...

For sure physically doing something kinda cements it into your brain. Just kinda told myself id spend the first week going through everything and then focus on beats. That lasted a big 15 minuted lol
