Hi, this post might be annoying with all of you experts on here, sorry but I’m feeling so sad. I started a course of music production this spring. I like singing and sometimes write lyrics and sing melodies in my phone.I love music and singing. I want to be a songwriter and make songs for others. I started the course with 0 ecperience. I have very intense ADD and am recovering from a burnout. And i just cabt seem to focus and i get so frustrated with myself. I received cubase with the course and a book. Everything in the book is written so difficult for advanced people i just dont know where to start. Does anyone have tips for someone who is just starting out? I only have a macbook. I am going to borrow a midi controller from a friend next month. I dont play any instruments. How do I make a song in cubase. I guess i do have to purchase a microphone. And do i need to purchase a soundcard? Anyhow what are the best ways to get started other than watching turorials? How do I advance quickly? Any tips or thing i should do or know? Maybe hacks? Tips for cubase for dummies? Or maybe good websites books or videos?
All info will be greatly appreciated i feel very overwhelmed and just so sad i dont understand the book. Made be unmotivated and just want to quit and cry. I need to finish the course in 6 months or pay a fine and hand in a song i create before then. I need help. Sorry for bothering you pros.
Thank you for taking the time to write such an informative and heartfelt message. Im just so not technichal but i really hope once i get a hang of the basics my hyperfocus kicks in too. I love singing and music so it should! Im going to watch s lot of stuff and practice and hope for the best! Thank you!
