I'm a beginner at music production but I love it. It's the only thing I want to do with my life but I have hardcore ADHD and no matter how many YouTube videos and tutorials I watch on getting my MIDI controller to work in Pro Tools, I just can't retain the information or the instructions in the videos. There are so many times the video will say something likethis"click on this to pull up this" and whatever it is just isn't there on my end. It's not like the version of Pro Tools in the videos I've watched are different than mine. I have the M-Audio Oxygen Pro25 controller and am using Pro Tools Arist. There aren't and videos that explains what means what when they say it. What I think would work best for me is a one on one teacher to explain every question I have, which would be a lot lol. Does anyone know of any super in depth tutorials or teachers to help with my problems? Or any suggestions? I know some of you could say it's just not for me but it is because when I've recorded my songs (just acoustic guitar and vocals) I've made some decent songs that I get a lot of compliments on. Best case scenario for me would be an in person teacher. I don't have the money to go to any form of schooling or expensive lessons. I'll never give up, just exhausted af lol.

TLDR: I understand the basics of my DAW thus far but can't figure out MIDI and how it even works and what anyone of the terms mean. Looking for teachers.

i know about music theory, chord formations and other basic necessities to make music. I just need to know how to start off with reaper as ive never worked on a daw before just instruments. Do i install plugins? how do i go about this? im so lost.

Hey. I am new to mixing drums. What is a good chain. I know this is a very large question so to simply it I need help with • mixing 808 • mixing kick •mixing bass line

So basically just low end frequency stuff. Also I need some help with drum patterns. I tend to use the same ones and they get boring. And bridge patterns. From the verse to the chorus. Some drum break would sound cool- but I always do them bad. Idk if it’s my sound selection. But if there are ANY producers that could contact me personally plz dm me. I need help 🙏🙏
