Ableton Live is an industry standard now, if you are doing music professionally you should have a copy of that. But, you can make good music with anything. I have a friend that makes pretty great stuff using only a Nintendo DS.

Ah, I just saw that it's based on Ableton…. :(

Andrew.  I'm just like half way through this intro video and really like his advice.  Do you know if this workshop is based on any particular tool set?

If you are looking to make electronic music start here:

If you want to get serious and you have some money (want to invest in it because you want to make music your career) check out the courses on dubspot.com

There are also a ton of good stuff on YouTube (and a bunch of crap). Focus on stuff from people who are actually making music professionally.

And most importantly, make music, every day. Try not to spend more than 5 - 10 hours on a track and then move on to a new one.

If you want to make it to the top 10, you might want or find people who have done that before or worked with those people and show them that you are dedicated and passionate. Maybe they will let you sit in the studio or let you remix something. 

Start a soundcloud now if you don't have one already.

I've found that music comes from my emotional / feelings side of the brain, and not from the technical side I'm so used to using. It's very strange and unfamiliar, so I must master this art as well.

As for fractals, I don't think they have any frequency dependence, to be honest. They're something that forms because of conduction, which would be largely unaffected by frequency in this case as wood is too insulating for the skin effect to occur, and the electrodes are too small for capacitance to matter.

IMO, the best way to "get into" music is just to learn music from people you like and then your own stuff will take shape after you get fluent with the patterns that inspire you based on the work you have learned.  I find "getting into" music as a purely emotionless theoretical excursive to be a non-starter.  

In piano, for example, you'll find lots of cats doing cool videos on how some of these chord thickening patterns work, and a lot of it is sort of beyond theory and a little bit more about patterns and frameworks that they have developed, but that insight has come from many hours of learning other peoples work and then developing patterns of there own via improv.

Hi all,

No one gives a rat's ass about my mission to build cheap x-ray units
for the unprivileged world

Almost no-one knows about it. You haven't even run a crowdfunding campaign for it (which you should do just for the attention). I assure you people (and the media) would care if you pitched it correctly with a nicely made video. We have a film-makers collective at Omni you know.

But maybe you _should_ take a long break from that project and do something creative. One piece of advice though: Before you shelve it for months/years take an hour to go through all of the files, write notes about everything for future you and back them up offline in multiple locations. Future you will thank past you.

As far as music, I'm kinda looking for some music theory learning stuff myself. Playing instruments is one thing, but composition is another. I haven't found anything good.
