9. Don't worry about the word ‘mixdown’ too much while making your first tunes. It's one of those things you never hear the end of when starting out and it can be off putting. It's more important to get your ideas down as fully as possible – trust your own ears at the end of the day. Ask a trusted person for advice but keep it limited, there's nothing worse than five people telling you different subjective things.
10. Limit your tools and learn them well before you start bringing other things into your set up. This can also help you focus your "sound" – picking what you like and sticking to it can be a good way of creating your own voice. But equally, don't be afraid to set fire to ideas and start again. It's a journey, you change, and your music will change.
