And thanks to electronics, I have recording gear of a quality that 10 years ago would have only been seen in a full size professional studio. No, not at all. I have no formal experience or education in audio engineering. That's true, it is VERY easy to write music with computers. And because it's so easy, you get a lot of terrible crap music.

That's been the thing holding me back most over the past 10 years. I'm terrible at writing lyrics. But whenever I try to write serious lyrics, it always comes out as pretentious to my ear. So, I've focused on music composition more. This guy knows squat about music, but he's good with words.
