I recommended listening to people very carefully and figure out how they did what they did, as it one of the best ways to learn. Learn by example.

Pretty basic advice really.
Nah, it is effectively what you were saying. You probably don't realise it yourself at this stage, if that's your approach to production, but your advice does amount to what I said above.

You said , very clearly, to listen to other people's tracks and *copy them*. From *their* drum programming, to *their* track structure, to *their* sounds.

Y'know this probably is good advice in some ways, but not the kind of advice anyone who wants to stand out or make original music, should be taking.
