A Day in the Life of a Wannabe Producer

1. Wake up, have a bowl of wannabe cereal
2. Hop on the computer, browse dubstepforum.com
3. Ask a question about how to do a particular sound, get thrashed for "being unoriginal"
4. Open up DAW, play with some synths, get frustrated
5. Watch a tutorial, post a comment about how great the tutorial was while others are blasting the op for rinsing the "same old"
6. Hop back on DSF, ask about filters, get blasted for not reading enough
7. Discover an awesome sound from a synth while playing around, build a whole track around that sound
8. Release track on DSF for feedback, get blasted for having too much wobble / Get blasted for not having enough wobble.
9. Have lunch, listen to something other than Dubstep due to being so deflated
10. Hop back on DSF, ask about wobblez, get blasted. Something about LFOs and cutoff? *scratch head*
11. Get back into the DAW, figuring out why your levels are all over the place
12. Have some dinner then go to bed wondering why you're trying to produce in the first place...
13. Wake up the next morning and give it another go. Maybe ask on the forums about LFOs.

LFO - Low frequency oscillator. LFOs can be used to modulate parameters, with the modulation often being able to take shapes such a sines, triangles, squares, sawtooths, etc.

No, I didn't miss it, I just figured I could answer your question.

"Maybe ask on the forums about LFOs."

It was meant to be a theatrical post about what most newbies to these forums may experience, I wasn't actually asking about LFOs, just repeating what I've seen here so many times. Maybe I should have asked about Datsik/Excision instead :P

You missed out... wanking in the mirror while your 2bar loop repeats in the background, thinking about when will be worshipped in the club by barbie looking groupies and hipsters and getting slavered over in appreciation threads on forums.
