What advice would you give to beginners?

To be honest I would say to stay away from production forums as much as possible.
Don't get me wrong, places like this and the production bible etc can be amazing resources, but if someone spends too long on a production forum, sometimes they will lose out on developing their own style and techniques, which are really one in the same.

i failed here lol

think i might try quitting dsf fdor a while, its probs detrimental to my production now

Thing is though, this only applies if your too easily influenced. Without trying to be disrespectful to anyone else on here, I have different views to most of you and I never for one second feel the need to try and impress anyone. Sounds so ridiculous but it's a good style to have. Make what you feel like making, like what you feel like liking.

I have nothing but love for the production area of the forum (except too many flames on newbies) because it helps me keep learning every day even after producing for about 4 years.

yeah i feel you ive learnt pretty much all i know off here but whenever i hit something im not happy with i end up coming on here looking for a solution, often fogetting the tune for a couple of hours and then forgetting what i'd gone on for- best to work through your problems (maybe)

Not to regurgitate the age old argument but all I have to say is, there's no substitute for reading and hands on experience
