Dear music composers. It is OK to fail. It is also OK to not get your mixes and masters right. It is OK to struggle with reverb setups and how to use sample libs. Don't compare yourself to others, because it doesn't help. This is not a contest and it takes time!

I have a new idea for a MIDI pack. It is called "Notes" and contains all the 12 notes and every note in 16th, 8th, 4th, 2nd, and full notes. Isn't that amazing? You could build your dream melody and become a rich and successful music producer!

Dear music composers, don't over complicate stuff. You don't need a template with 1000 tracks and it also doesn't need reverb setups that are physically correct. Especially not when using several sample libs. Music is consumed by the ears, not by a teacher with a red pen.

When promoting your music or services, think of it as a long marathon, not a short sprint.
