Do I Need to Play an Instrument Before Using a Digital Audio Workstation?

What are the advantages to having never played an instrument prior to making music, especially in a digital audio workstation like Ableton Live 10, FL Studio, whatever the Logic Pro X?

There is a huge advantage to never having played an instrument before. It is an open set of ears. I went in thinking that it was a big disadvantage that I had never played an instrument before, that I didn't know anything about how to play the piano and that I didn't know anything about music theory. What it actually allows me to do is have a much more open mind and less judgment creatively.

I've noticed watching some musicians on Twitch create, that those who have gone through learning to play an instrument like the piano, the trombone, the tuba, the saxophone, the violin, or whatever, have a disadvantage.

Especially those who have gone through the process of learning how to play an instrument and been told over and over by a teacher, "No, that's not right. You messed that up."

The problem is then that gets ingrained in the mind, and then when you are creating, you are judging yourself the exact same way.

When I'm creating with never having played music, because I gave the music teacher the finger in sixth grade and stopped listening during music class, I go in and I just do whatever I want.

You see if I hit a few keys, someone might say based on the two things I just played, "You played those wrong. You can't play those. They're not in scale."

I don't notice that. It doesn't matter to me. I don't hear that.

Music or bot-upvoting machine 😂😂!!

thinking was very nice about the music station.

The fault atimes is the teacher's, who plays down the deep down effort of someone willing learn.... Everyone will tend to feel discouraged when his/her 100% effort is being laughed at or being regarded as nothing.

Left for me, perfecting the instrument itself is a great added advantage for the musician too.

After haven successfully passed through a gruesome teacher or even through personal training.
