How Is Music Produced?

Music is sound. Frequencies manipulated and put together in a precise manner that each is complimented by one another. I was looking to get some opinions by users and producers themselves on here about how a song is produced.

As a musician and once music producer myself, I've become very fascinated by what allowed me to hear noise in such a high emotional quality. I've tried countless times over these past months to create music again through a DAW, but its just not possible with my lost ability to distinguish noises amongst each other. Producing music is definitely not just hearing noises and raising each noises volume. Frequencies need to be raised and lowered to be equalized. Sounds need to be compressed. This is not just done by the hair cells of the cochlea. It's the processing involved. A lot of processing.

So let me hear some opinions. It would be much appreciated.
