For anyone who recently started making beats, what are the biggest struggles for you?
If you have to look for inspiration in Michael Jackson, then you aren't gifted by default. I wish people would stop trying to emulate Prince, Michael Jackson, 2Pac, Biggie, etc. just because most people thought they wereThe hardest thing to have an idea for an entire piece. I am looking for inspiration in many artists, for example in Michael Jackson, so in my opinion it is the best way to make a professional music.
The most important it basics are constant practice and getting into complicated matters will come with time you will learn the basics you can jump to more difficult things

all that.
Do you know where I get my inspiration from although they may have gotten it for the aforementioned? Class B and C producers based on popularity, but Class A in music production.
e.g. 3 Boyz From Newark,
Nettlesby & Coffey
Victor Meritt & Gerald Gerald Baillergeau
The Characters (Troy Taylor f__ks with Trey Songz for the last decade in produce some of his music), etc.
...that's where the real electro soul and R&B is at.
Look at Class B producers like Xtra P/Large Pro from Main Source and Salaam Remi if Hip Hop and Rap are your stick.
But for Class A producers, I also look to LA & Babyface, Teddy Riley, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Look to the producer, not to the artist as a producer, man. "C'mon man. That's like you getting tested for cocaine for you to get employment" -- Sleepy Joe, quoted 2020
Inspiration and talent go hand-in-hand. Okay Inspiration and originality go hand in hand too. The more original you are, the more talented you are.I really don't understand your answer. Searching for inspiration is not a lack of talent, but an understanding of the essence and principles of its operation.
Downloading a DAW to your computer won't start creating a song from start to finish without asking others how it's done. That is why people in the world are here to help each other.
A good example is Avicii, which in 2006 or 2007 created BRAIN, which was a typical Basshunter scheme. Later you know very well that combining styles gave him a unique style that distinguished him from other producers and thus became international.
Honestly Im a very basic producer I make west coast beats and I only use a few VSTs and like 8 drum kits. Im not the best at mixing at all but I feel like my melodies are unique. Really I just have a difficult time find the sounds and drums I want to use.
