Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I worked really hard on this so it means a lot :D

Also to answer your questions in order:

I got into creating music because I had a large interest in it since childhood. I had a lot of musical toys since before I was a year old, including simple cheap toy keyboards and such. I would play some things and remember them for later which is approximately when I pretty much started making my first melodies. When I got a little older, I started mapping down a lot of the ideas I had in programs like LMMS just because I wanted to hear the music I was thinking about instead of just keeping it in my head. Shortly after when I got interested in making games, making music became even more important as I wanted to score a lot of things myself to give people the atmosphere I'm looking for more accurately. But I still often just make music for fun, I love to bring my ideas to life!

As for instruments, if you mean for this remix specifically, I decided to go for a blend of realistic rock guitars, fun synths, and even some of the original instruments used in the original track! I didn't want to just recreate the song, so I wanted the sounds to be mostly new, while still being tied to things like the original melody and so on. The guitars were the first thing I added because they were important to get right, and then I played with some KORG and Arturia Analog Lab instruments to see what would sound cool and went from there! If you meant instruments for my songs in general though or the ones I physically play, let me know and I'll happily answer that too :)

The last question is a bit hard, I had to think about it for a bit... I feel like there aren't much bad habits with music, especially as you're learning, but one I definitely can say though is depending too much on motivation. Motivation is a massive key for every single creative outlet in art, not even just music. However I feel like sometimes a composer will start something, lose the steam, and give up or move on to something else. It's not the same for everyone of course, and I'm not saying my view on it is objectively correct, but I feel like it's important to learn how to push and really make your gears turn to continue and try to finish that track. I feel like almost every composer who worked on music long enough has a couple to a bunch of unfinished tracks, but overcoming this habbit at least keeps the number of unfinished tracks to a low. One thing that helps me is taking a small hour (to day at worst case) break if I'm really not feeling it, and then coming back to it. I'll smack my keyboard around trying to find or make a cool sound until it gives me a creative idea (whether that's for an instrument I want to use or a whole melody I want to implement). Sometimes I'll even look at pictures that make me happy to give me a little boost with creativity haha. Just try to never give up!

I hope I answered all your questions!

Thank you!
