As of late, I've been getting a lot more into making my own music. At the moment, I'm not really at that stage, but I'm trying to learn how to use Cakewalk and Vital and all that, so I'm taking steps in the right direction at least. There are a bunch of plugins and VSTs that I've already been messing with as well, like Helm, Tunefish, etc. There are so many little details about actually using a DAW that seemingly go unnoticed when watching someone who knows what they're doing make something. They will modulate, eq, compress, automate, and everything else under the sun while you can barely figure out how to change the tempo of your song (to be fair, Cakewalk's layout makes it hard to find tempo related things. FL Studio and Ableton Live are easier to navigate, being "more professional"). The main thing is that it's super fun to just sit down and make sounds. I have a midi Keyboard/controller hooked up to my PC, so it's a lot of fun to mess around with and just make things. I imagine it's not as fun without something as tangible. That being said, it's still fun to make things. I used Soundbridge for a bit, and I never hooked my keyboard up to it, but I still enjoyed using it. There is so much to know and learn and figure out that it can seem intimidating, but in the end I'm hoping it will be worth it (not even professionally, just enjoying my time spent and being satisfied with what I make)
