Hi, i'm a beginner music producer who is using bandlab and don't know the first thing about making music, writing lyrics, or really any of that stuff. I feel like I should learn music theory but I don't know where or what to learn! So, I have a few questions but if you have some tips that would help me, I would love to hear them.

What are the basic tools or features I should focus on when starting out in BandLab?
How do I create a simple beat in BandLab from scratch?
How can I start arranging different loops and tracks to create a full song on BandLab?
How do I layer different sounds (like vocals, drums, and instruments) without making the track sound cluttered?
What are some basic mixing techniques I should use to make my track sound balanced?
How do I adjust volume levels and panning to create space between different sounds in my track?
What’s the difference between EQ, reverb, and compression, and when should I use them?
How can I create a simple melody or chord progression using MIDI instruments in BandLab?
Thank you for all your help. Have a good rest of your day!
