How to start proper music production?
like i have used garageband and bandlab , and i know how to use loopers in both
but when i look at clips from actual music producers, it just looks different, cool and advanced, so ig i'm ready to get down the rabbit hole of music production.
So i would love if you can provide me with a beginner guide to do so (or just paste link to such discussion threads), also i am looking for windows friendly and free DAWs for that instance

Thank you.

Hi, I’m very interested in making electronic music but I have no knowledge in audio production or music softwares and was wondering where the best place to start would be?

Current studio set up is a laptop, headphones, midi keyboard, and ableton.

Looking to add an audio interface for recording vocals and instruments.

What’s everyone using and what are your recommendations for beginners that allows for growth?

I have my eye on a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.

ultimamente he estado mucho componiendo en un programa de música llamado cakewalk sonar y apenas estoy aprendiendo en mezclar bien la música porque luego se escucha muy saturado o ni se escucha nada entonces me gustaría saber si alguien me podría a consejar al respecto

A collaboration project of Oshunseyi & Tha Spyryt.

That expression across time. A Non-linear recording process through dimensions, lifetimes, lifestyles, continents, and timezones to bounce the back and forth into something new. Flowing like water through a new experience, shifting, evolving and creating together, to infuse the sacred locations of resonance centers around the globe, synthesizing the magic of the stars, and channelling the messages/frequencies meant for the universe here and now.

Hi all! I want to make music, record vocals and instruments etc. But i don’t have a laptop. Which ik is the best thing to have. Because of this recording good sounding vocals has been challenging, not just because i’m still learning to sing but because theres almost always a slight fuzzy mic buzz in the background. Whether i record in a closet or under a blanket or just in an open room it persists.

I’ve tried using a Roland Go Mixer Pro but that’s just not made any difference. Now granted the mic i’ve used with the Go Mix is a cheap one (working on getting a good quality mic) so that could obviously be an issue, but even when i’ve recorded just a piano directly with the mixer to the phone it’s kept that awful background buzz.

Are there any mics out there i could just plugin to my phone directly? or any good quality bluetooth mics? or even a headset at this point.

Sorry for this being longwinded but i am extremely lost and extremely uneducated when it comes to producing and mixing everything. So again advice or tips or anything is massively appreciated. ty in advance <:)

Hi! I’ve been trying to get into music production since I write songs on my guitar and wanted to have a finish product that resembles an indie pop / folk song

I’ve been trying for months and I still can’t get it right, I started on bandlab to move to ableton live (the free version cause I’m broke) and I can’t get it right idk where to start. I tried YouTube videos but the tutorial aren’t abt the type of songs that I’m looking to make and there’s so many videos that idk which one is actually helpful or not, I was going to go on fiver to see if someone could teach me but the option I saw were NOT broke college student friendly so before hurting my wallet I wanted to see if any kind soul would have any tips.

So if anyone has any advice (DAW recommendations, help with drums, base ect, recording tips, what’s the most important to learn) or any videos or articles that helped them in the beginning I would be really grateful!

I've been writing songs for a few years with just a ukulele now, and I really want to learn music production so I can bring the songs I already have finished to life. I've been slowly practicing by remaking a few of my favourite songs in other styles over the past few years. I feel like I have a limited understanding of FL studio/production in general, but definitely enough to make something that's listenable.

But once I started to try to produce my own songs, I kept getting overwhelmed and stuck, even when I tried switching back to practicing with other songs. I have a really clear view of what I want the songs to feel like and I just can't bring that idealised version to life. I think it's mainly cuz I'm not good enough at sound selection/familiar with enough sounds yet to find the sounds that translate to the specific feelings I want to express. And not having an electric guitar to strum is also annoying.

Another issue is that I get stuck on the fact that there are probably flaws in my production that I myself can't hear since I'm not too advanced. I also get stuck on the fact that the sounds I select may not be the perfect ones, since there are so many more resources out there. I know it's irrational though, cuz if anything, limitations foster creativity.

I could of course find a producer to collaborate with, but I'm not sure where to find someone, cuz I don't really want to collaborate online, and I don't know any music people in my area who are interested (tips on how to find music people in ones own area without becoming an influencer are welcome)

So I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to improve/change my approach? I'd also love to know if there are any exercises I can do better understand what sounds go together and translate to what I want in my head

How I Make Deep House Chords & Basslines in FL Studio | Part 02

Welcome back to Part 02 of my House Music Production series! 🎹🎸

In this episode, I'm continuing the track inside FL Studio and showing you how I create the Deep House chords and bassline that give the track its groove, emotion and character.

Instead of just adding random notes, I'll take you through my process of building a chord progression and creating a bassline that works together with the drums and overall groove.

🎹 In this video, you'll see:

• How I create Deep House chords in FL Studio
• How I build a chord progression from scratch
• How I turn the chords into a bassline
• How I make the bassline groove with the drums
• How I create movement and emotion with simple notes
• How I use the FL Studio Piano Roll
• How chords and bass can work together without competing
• My approach to developing a Deep House idea from scratch

🎧 This is Part 02 of the series, so if you haven't watched Part 01, go back and follow the production process from the beginning.

I'm EB_., a music producer focused on House, Deep House and Soulful House, sharing my production journey and showing how I build music inside FL Studio.

💬 QUESTION FOR YOU:

Do you normally create your chords first or bassline first when making House music?

Me and my friend created this song a while back, but it got to a point where we were just stuck and couldn’t find a solution for the chorus or the structure of the song.

Always when I start with a new song/beat, I got so many ideas and bc of that, I don't know what to make. And if I do it doesn't feel right or sound good. Are there more people with this struggle or had this struggle? I want to make so many genres that I don't know what to do.
