How I would Learn Music Production (If I had to Start Over in 2026)
Most producers don’t get stuck because they lack knowledge. They get stuck because nothing gets finished.
Real progress usually shows up after deadlines, comparisons, and exports, not after watching one more video or downloading one more plugin. Finishing tracks sharpens taste, cleans up workflow, and trains the ear faster than endless tweaking ever will.
A strong learning loop is simple: reference → create → compare → adjust → export.
That loop works because it trains listening in context, inside real music, with real decisions.
If there’s one practical takeaway: Pick one reference track you love, rebuild its structure quickly, then write one original track using the same energy map. Export both and listen away from the screen.
Thank you so much! This is so so great! My reference track is Abracadabra by Gaga, the entire vibe, the sick drop/hook/post
