So I've been at this a few months (maybe 6?) and feel like I've got a good handle on my DAW (FL) and can make some interesting sounds but with zero musical background my arrangements and overall progression aren't where they need to be. Luckily I've got a couple much more experienced producers mentoring me a bit and they recommended loading tracks I like into my DAW and studying them. Loaded up a track last night and wow, wish this was the first thing I ever did.
My question is, for those of you who have/do this, what is your study process like? I'm assuming you start in broad strokes - identify intro, build, verse, etc. then break down those sections as to what you're hearing. Any feedback on how to best study a track would be appreciated. Its a little intense as I get down to some pretty crazy music from some very skilled producers but I already can tell it will be well worth it. And probably the only way I will ever be able to do what I want with my music
