studio

If you are beginning from scratch, here's some advice:

• You can start with samples to get familiar with the studio, but try also to learn how to use synths and drums
• Presets are available for each device, so you can learn about sound design
• Tweak all the knobs of the devices to progressively understand their purpose
• Click on the help symbol (?) at the bottom right of each device to access the manual
• Analyze tracks open to remix to understand how they are built
• To learn about chords: https://www.piano-keyboard-guide.com/chords-by-key.html
• If you wanna produce a specific genre, tutorials will be available on YouTube
• Experiment, publish, and kindly ask for feedback
  Have fun in the studio :)

If you know how to use the studio but don't have inspiration:
.
-Try remixing another track
-Listen to music you like
-Listen to music in the "latest" section
-Do anything that calms you down
-Try out a different genre or a strange time signature or tempo
-Experiment with interesting samples or presets
-Look at a music theory book
.
If you don't know how to use the studio but have inspiration:
.
-Read the manuals
-Look at online tutorials
-Try remixing another track to see what they did and dissect their techniques
-Don't be afraid to ask for help (but make sure to be specific)
-Try Jumping into it. Once you've gotten some more experience, you can come back to the idea with a better approach
.
If you know how to use the studio and are inspired but can't get it to sound like "music" and not just random notes:
.
-Try automating parameters on your piece
-Make sure that your instruments aren't clipping
-Try to add some variety and reduce repetition (this isn't to say that repetition is bad, but it needs to be used wisely)
-Ask for feedback and be willing to try to apply what people say to you. (try to avoid spamming)
-Use the kickboxes and/or EQs to customize your sound
-Look at a music theory book
.

Hopefully this covers what you need
