I played violin, piano, cymbals, recorder and guitar, finished elementary music school and lately I watched shitload of tutorials on making electronic music - I got basics immediately cause I know theory already, however it takes a lot of practice and another 10000 tutorials to get this stuff right, yet it's all just about clicking goddamn mouse and using options and effects properly etc etc. Mastering sound at the end seems like most difficult part to me. It takes some skills, at least few months of learning and you sure can make cool stuff out of it but seriously- from technical point of view it's primmitive as fuck in how it's made as well as in how electronic instruments sound. Of course purely electronic sounds are superior in electronic music cause instruments can't create them but if you're trying to put instrument in your song without making it sound like your microwave is singing, you simply need real life samples from real instruments. Nothing can compare to how violins can cry and how saxophone can just "flirt" with audience- it's beautiful example of real art, something only professionals could feed people's souls with.
