So, how long did it take you to get a first release? (pg. 5)

maybe i am not a well example since i played the piano with audiences of 2k+ people when i was 8 years and in some way i am musically gifted (although very very lazy and i'm sure if i put more effort i could make better music) also at a very early stage was very enthusiastic in listening the different music patterns of the song and how are they modified, even the note sequence followed etc... (what is better known as active listening i believe)
I made this far before i started producing so i knew musical theory and piano (piano roll lol so i knew half of the daw) this is my case but also the same for so many people.
Requires also not many effort just listen:
-Good music
-Bad music
Learn why good music is good music and bad is bad by listening carefully to every single detail, after 50th listenings of the track you can discover new hidden content
. With all the ideas you've learnt only by listening learn to develop them on a daw and that's it. If you can improve this ideas much better. Profit.
With painting is not the same as you need a skill, learning how to use a daw is quite easy , simple & intuitive features , while i find painting a lot more difficult (i am awful at painting) , i still think like you that a good painter should be one who has seen a lot of good paintings, noticed some hidden techniques and learnt to reproduce them.
But i feel you need several years to create a good painting while in 1-2 years you now all the basic-mid high features of your daw & vsts.
This is at my point of view, as i said i was very enthusiastic with music at a short age. |

| It took me one year of making music to have my first release (this friday!!!) on Echelon Records, I think it's a great label ;) |

| Went into debt 20 000 buying equipment. Practiced 8 hours a day. I was serious and got results. I didn't around. Releases these days don't mean anything. It actually was a feat to get your name on a record pre digital label days. Digital labels , unless they are very established are pretty much the same as just posting your on soundcloud. |

Been producing for almost seven years, no releases. But to be honest, I have never tried shopping anything around, either. I like giving away all my stuff for free.

Yup
I've not had a release, but then again i've never bothered trying.
I've had a couple of small labels ask me to finish my stuff on Soundcloud but what for? If i'm to waste time so I can see my name on Beatport I want money for it. But that ain't gonna happen!!
And i've been doing this for about 2 1/2 years. |

I somehow don't see you partying it up with a bunch of young tweakers!
Who knows, I sometimes go to an after-hours and i'm almost 30 maybe 2 times a year. Of course that is only to satisfy my closeted homosexual tendencies. |

| Tiesto played my recooord!! no he played my bootleg, i like dj's to play my stuff if i only ever try to release something is because of this, with a small label you lose your rights, you don't see a penny and keep as unknown as before. |

| as been said already releases doesnt mean anymore. gigs and 3rd part do (being on a videogame or movie soundtrack). try make an act, it is very possible within edm, if u lack skill just make tracks and dj them, like deadmaus. theres a huge market for liveacts. |
