I am only 16 I have much to learn. I knew it would be a struggle. Don't think I don't know what I'm doing, there is just some aspects I need to learn through people since they are the biggest help. I spent 4 hours experimenting with Reason the other day, getting a feel for the fundamentals. This is how I have mastered Photoshop, and yes I know this is completely different from Photoshop but that's not an easy program to learn either. I NEVER expected this program to be easy in any way..I have seen what it CAN produce and I know I won't be able to do that in a very long time. However I can keep trying and getting better each day..not by making the music, but by learning the program.
