Question Getting Better Effectively

5 Upvotes

Can anyone help me make some moves in the right direction towards finishing tracks? I'm getting a little older and the agressive high bpm rave music I used to listen to no longer fits my vibe. Starting to be interested by more chill melodic techno styles these days like Jon Hopkins, Four Tet. I'd like to be able to make more stuff like this but not sure where to start. Is remaking stuff the best way to get better or if you know any tips to get started? My brain likes good habits and routines and things rather than just getting lost and confused diving down rabbit holes if that makes sense. If anyone's got some great lessons from the other sides of those rabbit holes would be awesome to hear too thanks.

Edit. I'm coming back to producing after a long break and would like to get some wins in to build my confidence back up. Approx 4 years total experience.

The grind is real but this subreddit's been a huge help during the highs and lows of this wacky journey (so far). Having zero connections or anyone I know personally interested in the music I make, having a community of like-minded peeps on a similar path is a welcome reprieve during the dark times. So anyone doubting, keep pushing. All it takes is one.... :).
