If you could give one piece of advice to someone starting with only Kontakt Player and a DAW, what would it be?
I suggest spending a while fiddling with it, even if it’s brand new to you. Find your sound within it. There are limitless options, so just spend as much time trying to find the most unique corner of it you can find.
Also, try and find one company or program that has a vast amount of options outside of the one that you need specifically for that song. Keeping stuff under one roof is helpful with serial numbers, etc.
I just started using a lot of Native Instruments stuff when learning with a Maschine in college. So I’ve always been a big advocate for everything NI. But all in all, just make sure you’re always making something and also releasing that music. It won’t actually exist otherwise.
Pro tip from Hayes Bradley: Always. Record. Everything.
