How did you learn what you know?

Simple question about your music producing abilities...

how did you learn everything you presently know and how long did it take you to get to where you're presently at?

Be honest.

Same here. Personally I've never really been a big fan of tutorials and such things. It's better and alot more fun just to try for yourself. Same goes for manuals. Instead of just looking up the specific thing you want to know in the manual, you might learn alot more stuff on the way if you would just try to get there for yourself.

After having listened to a secret combination of trance records for 96 hours without interruption, I entered The Supreme State of Trance(tm) and Paul van Dyk appeared and initiated me into the secret magik of trance. Oh the ecstacy!
