Rest In Peace, Nurse Ratched

[deficiT]

I haven't recorded original material since I was in high school. I'm struggling to learn how to use computers and Digital Audio Workstations, etc. They frustrate me and I don't think we should be relying on computers as much as we do when creating original material. I certainly will let the board know if I come up with something, even if it is just a few sad chords played in a minor key. Thanks for the encouragement!

I completely understand that. Production is my primary struggle, so I'm in the same boat, and it's incredibly frustrating and limiting for musicians. Definitely keep at it though if you are passionate about music, it takes time but you can figure it out

I'd still he happy just to read the lyrics if you don't record anything

Hey Claire,

I can't believe that it has been over a year.
I am still struggling to write anything....
I guess it feels like if I don't start putting it into words then I don't have to start processing that you are gone, but I will come back when I am ready.

Thank you that was very kind of you to say! I have been sitting in front of computers since I was around 11 years old, but I feel like I was born to be in the musical world. Learning DAWs is something I NEED to do, and unfortunately drug use has gotten in the way... (surprise!) So I'm struggling with physical pain, emotional/mental distress, and also some difficulties with my coordination caused by all of the meds I am on. But the bright side is, when using a DAW, I don't necessarily have to worry about playing with perfect timing, bc I can cheat with the DAW and make it sound like it is in perfect musical timing. I am very glad that I can still pick up my guitars and play them, bc I should've been dead many times over. (!!!)

I've been trying to learn production since my teenage years as well but have had life get in the way too.
If you're looking for someone to learn with (like a music production study buddy), feel free to shoot me a PM.
