How do you start making your own music do you just take a shit

If you don't know music theory then yeah, that's what it's pretty much like.

how the fuck do I produce music DAWs are so expensive and daunting

I knew how to compose music when I was 5 or 6, but I can't do anything now.

No, anhedonic or born sociopathically retarded.

>>71522759
I want to make it a career. If I buy a DAW and a MIDI keyboard I feel like I'm gonna get overwhelmed and quit, and I have no money, I can't find a job.

All the best music I make comes from not thinking. It's like speaking in tounges

What I would say is the main mistake that beginners (and sadly tons and tons of professionals) make is lack of a clear direction, so you end up with meandering notes and chords that go nowhere. A good melody is one that knows in which direction it's headed. The same goes with harmonic progressions as well, but that takes a bit more explaining.

>>71522520
First you need to be able to play an instrument. You will learn music theory along the way. A good teacher will teach you the basics of composition.
Composing without ability to play nor knowledge of composition is never a good idea. It will take more time to do so than if you new music theory, and it will do nothing to further your musical skills.

just pirate one and if you ever have enough cash buy it, not like anyones gonna find out

>>71522520
all you need to understand is key. if something is out of key, it is not musical. aside from that, it is mostly practice and making songs over and over again.

>>71523731
>I don't understand anything other than key therefore it's the only thing that's important
There plenty of ways to make things sound MORE musical by including notes from other keys. Diminished chords, secondary dominants, major/minor chord substitutions etc.
