I mean... I know electronic music does have a long learning process but damn sometimes i find myself frustrated for not being able to achieve what I want in my sounds! and usually Im not that kind of guy who gives up on his first time but...cmon! its too damn hard to make music when you're a noob

I have a theory that the main reason so many people "fail" at making music is because they give up.
And the one common thread with all the "successes"? I don't mean commercially - but what's the one common thing that anyone who is happily still making music, playing festivals, DJing gigs, after years and years, will tell you?
They didn't give up.
I'm not convinced it's much more complicated than that - whatever field you're interested in, hard work and perseverance will pay off. Quitting... obviously gets you nowhere.

I nver had this feeling or a thaught I give up music, never in life not one time. I had and occasionaly have times where I knew no matter what I create it sucks or sounds not good and it was and sometimes still is a bit frustrating but at the same time I know there also are good times and golden moments and than I like anything like a successful mind expansion and an open gate for only good things. I still could learn lots of ohter things on bad times like synthesis or practicing mixing or collect more expiriences,practise some aspects/details of mastering or writing lyrics or learning an instrument or reading some worthreading stuff or just educating whatever.
Usually bad times are when I'm single for too long hehe sometimes its better to really make a break and go more for 'hunting' a real good one haha
This times are good times for me 
..and no matter if I'd never get again money for a release (I had earned throuhg vinly already a bit and gathered nice expiriences) I will love creating music or sounds just anything about that.There are only ladies and music that I really love.Impossible to give it up.

Many times over the years... I did not give up... yet. 
I find it to be a part of my individual growth process, it let's me perfect my sound more and more, I can't say I welcome that feeling when it arrives, I can say that it helps me and has helped me tremendously in my development, the key is to not give up .

Im now on this point…
Ive reached a good level and now it seems that Ive everything forgotten! 
But my dream is to be on a big shiny underground stage in brasil, mexico, russia, or similar, with a lot of people from the underground psy scene with a lot of spirit in their hearts!
Much distorted mud faces I wanna see who are singing my genius song phrases!
This comes close to my dreams:

I think it all depends on what your intention is making music. For me its just plain old fun, i don`t wanna sell anything, don`t wanna play any live shows, don`t want to get pussy through music, all I want is to have a good time.
Therefore, even though I`m hypercritical about my music and always analyzing and looking to improve, I never think I should just give up. Because as long as I`m having fun in the process, I fulfill my intentions 100%.
However, if I ever got to the point where its not fun anymore, I would just give up...

Everyone has this thought cuz when you hear something so good ur like damn but then you get good and ppl like ur stuff.Either you have it or you dont.Also to stay in the game either u have the attitude or u dont.Put ur stuff up everywhere..soundcloud..soundclick..facebook get ppl to listen to stuff get feedback and listen to it..sometimes.
