honestly, i just wanted to make stuff like my favorite video games. i believe my very beginning was flipping midis on onlinesequencer in 2013/2014, then shortly after i moved to making music in a SUPER niche software by my favorite game developer called "Bosca Ceoil". i spent a few years learning composition and pattern arrangement in there and then stepped into LMMS as my first DAW. i learned automation and basic sound design and samplework in LMMS, then finally stepped into FL Studio where i still work. FL taught me mixing, mastering, and higher level sound design. Now, I'm still learning complex arrangement for electronic genres, but I'd say I feel like I can make just about anything I can think of on a whim, so I'm trying to broaden my horizons and learn what some of the things I can't yet do are. I struggle a lot with light rock production, I've noticed, for instance. So, no, there was no click for me. It was a continuous and extremely gradual learning curve that brought me to where I am. I think my process is a very solid way to learn music production, though, as coincidental and all-over-the-place as it is.

It looks like what they were trying to convey is apparently that it can be a large time and effort commitment that most people don't have the technical expertise to figure out, which is a fairly reasonable argument in some contexts, but I do not think they conveyed it very well and they're being kind of a dick about it in the replies, so idk. I understand the point, but this is NOT the way to get it across.

Honestly its my rule of thumb just to not use anything that I see sponsor multiple youtube videos that isnt DIRECTLY related to the content.

This isn't even to mention the other many ways we're constantly actively contributing to the deaths of birds through suburbia, even indirectly. Aside from the obvious stuff like getting rid of the trees they inhabit in the rare urban areas, we even kill them in the places they can live, by having "outdoor cats" as if they arent an invasive species. Letting them predate on the local bird population can be hugely detrimental!
