So I bought myself a midi beat-pad. What now?

I've never touched an instrument in my life. Is it enough to just continue dicking around with my DAW until I make something listenable or should I learn about song structure, composition, ect.

You should have dicked around with DAWs before to actually feel a need for a drumpad or the knobs/faders. Well since you already have it, then learn drumming and assign different shit to the controls. Haev fun

and the fact is that you actually don't need any hardware to make music. I have a decent amount of shit myself - a launchpad, MPD24 and keyboards, but I don't use them that much when actually making music. It's just for getting ideas and live playing for me.

people don't realize that asking won't get them far
Practicing over and over is the key

Do you have a chart? I need charts to do anything or listen to anything. I require charts.

i had this genius idea of remixing 2 songs in one song, and was starting to do it and everything, it was all mapped out in my head how i wanted it, then i hit a giant wall of shit, and stopped. shit was taking forever to get down how i wanted it and i just couldnt anymore. fucking hate this shit. i saved it tho so i guess i can get back to it later.
