I am 25 years old, I have been attempting to produce my own music since I was 14. I began on simple console games that required you to just drag and drop loops. Then I looked for ways to construct my own music using these loops by opening them in a wave editor and chopping them up. It kept me entertained for a while, but it was still a dead end. Now I use FLStudio and create all of my own loops using Royalty Free samples.
Im mostly listening to dubstep right now, but I enjoy alot of harder styles of music like, Hard dance, trance and hardstyle.
Techno/trance.
