hey there fellow loopsies!
i have been hanging around for some days and it's time to formally introduce myself.
i'm alina from frankfurt/germany.

i have been enjoying music immensely for all my life and had been trying (!!!) to create it myself every once in a year. had been in several bands but never really got down fully, because i always felt i'm not good enough.
even though my skills haven't improved, i now know i still want to create music, simply because i enjoy it.

i remember starting out with photoshop in 2011 and my first outputs have been more than questionable but after some time and experimenting i got so much better and it was hard to pull me away from the pc to do anything else.
so here i am, wanting to repeat this process with music and digital audio recording.

and now you have to go through this with me :D
i so enjoy going through the tracks and remixes. it's amazing how this community creates together and i'm itching to take part in it.
still nervous and shy but i'm working on a remix. i know it will take me some time to get the feeling i really want to put myself out there (or here) with what i created but i will, just have to be kind to myself and work through the frustration of my unskilled artistry while finding my way around it.

cheers to creating together!
all the love
alina

Hey Alina, welcome to the Loops. Great to have you here, and I can promise you one thing: You don't need to worry or be nervous here, you can upload anything and you will get a lot of positive feedback. As long as you have fun doing it, that's all that is required. We all started a bit shaky, and got better with mixing and uploading with time. So go ahead, upload it - I look forward hearing your music :)

Thank you so much for your warm welcome! I know you’re all pretty sweet here, so that’s not what’s holding me back. I know I have to push through and it will be fine. The learning curve is huge for sure.

Thanks a bundle TeeGee. That stuff about not being nervous here...you could have told me that years ago. Also, with that one sentence you have completely destroyed my attempt at becoming the first Wikiloops therapist for anxious musicians:D
