Hi, I’m so frustrated cause I would like to autoproduce my songs but I I’m struggling a lot on finding arrangements for them, I don’t know where to start and I’m losing myself in trying to find right instrument or sounds, but then I’m passing 1 hour to do nothing at the end. I feel I miss a right method for creating and I’m loosing the creativity. Does somebody have some advice?

Hey guys, I just completed the "Music Production For Beginners" course and something I noticed was how he kept mentioning "A lifetime learning journey" making me wonder if at 52 years old, I'm kind of in the minority of members who are mostly young people here just starting out in the recording industry. A little bit about me. Back in 1991 I went to I.A.R. (Institute of Audio Research) a now defunct Audio Engineering trade school here in NYC. Being about 18 at the time I was too busy goofing off with friends to put in the serious effort to actually study hard and retain the information I was being taught, thinking I would just "wing it" and learn as I went along, some of which I did during my time interning at a professional music studio in Manhattan. However I didn't stay in the industry and went on to work a series of soul crushing office and manual labor jobs instead because they paid better and were more steady work. During I've always maintained a deep interest in Music making, teaching myself to play Bass guitar and playing in several local bands just for the love of the game. Later on I learned a little piano/keyboard but never really bothered to learn music theory because the internet as it exists today and all the wonderful courses available, such as those on Mastering.com weren't available back then. Now I am medically disabled and have a lot of free time and have decided to really put the effort into learning as much as I can about recording/mixing/mastering and creating music with the small digital home studio I put together. I was wondering what the general age consensus of the other members was and maybe a few of your own personal stories as to why you joined the site.

Hey, just wanted to ask could you post some simple and possibly cross platform examples of how you use AI? I'm not tying to put you on the spot. I currently a have a serious want to know relationship with AI. I'm getting a few things going. A lot of what I see as "tell me what this means" is absolute BS. But "sort this" "do this" is good to go. Are you able to help me find the place to look, tools to use, to do tasks that I can easily see are 'correct' once accomplished? I'm a pro AI old guy and want to open doors, make life easier, etc..

What's your favorite EQ plugin, and why?
