I doubt there'll be any success here for a while, but I'm chasing that euphoria of completing a song that I'm truly happy with. Following your advice to start with! Thanks again!

[@samanthahernandez5105]

This was the best video ever to help a beginner. I have been trying to start producing my own music for 2 years now and have been so discouraged by uniforming videos, but this broke it down so easily. I loved the reality you said of "this first songs you make are going to suck. They're going to be garbage." Haha I laughed bc you're so right! And that's ok. Loved everything about this video. Thanks for the encouragement, suggestions, and inspiration. Im off to start producing!

[@necrobynerton7384]

Honestly, this video may seem barebones, but it is more than really accurate. I'm working with fl studio since 2017 and still don't have that tick to make stuff that is... well... decent to listen to and make you come back to it. Thing is, what is already said in this video is honestly how it goes, and if you get a midi controller/piano alongside a pair of studio headphones (or speakers/monitors) will definitively help in sound design and mixing department. First year, maybe even 3, you will have to spend time learning and overcoming the feeling of being stuck a bit. Keep your hopes up and it becomes cakewalk. Once over that initial procedure, once you get comfortable in using your DAW of choice and your equipment (both hardware and software like vst-s), next thing is easing your way to more music theory related stuff and playing around with them (having a midi keyboard most definitively will help, especially the ones with more keys). This is if you decide to actually get seriously serious and are willing to go forth. I don't want to sound condescending, but this is my experience, and it most likely won't be a trouble for everyone. At first most definitively you will suck, but give it time, listen to music moderately and try to pick up how the different sounds are, watch music production videos that are plentiful here in youtube to begin with, and you will prosper. What I can't say is having followers, since I don't post my stuff anywhere (sorry for this, but right now I don't want to do that, mostly for my ears right now) but I do believe having feedback will most definitively help in improving. Personally speaking, I don't have a lot of time to spend on a track, so I often am just left with an idea that gets abandoned in my hundreds of other ideas, or spend too much time patching a synth that literally end up with only a 4 bar simple "melody" (that i don't know if it even counts as one). Oh, I almost forgot - If you are a beginner that has no experience in music production, and as much as I don't want to say this, DON'T BEGIN TO TRY DUBSTEP or related genres like melodic dubstep, complextro, brostep, deathstep, etc. mainly because you will hate yourself and will have a brain hemorrhage once you do try. I know many probably won't because not many are into this genre, but I almost left for good. If you are insisting, I insist to do something simpler first then go for this stuff, if you want a bit of a challenge go for something like synthwave (if you are into this genre) since it is way more enjoyable to produce and you don't have to pull your hair out because you don't understand how things work. Seriously though, don't try to fly when you can't drive, it will hurt you. I would assume many would go for trap, since it is all the rage nowadays, and I don't think it is super hard, but can't say because (warning: personal opinion) I don't like it, so I don't go for it. But I've seen plenty of artist posting production videos, so you probably may get quicker results in your journey with this genre. I apologize for this long comment, but I do hope people at least try, It isn't impossible but give it time. I also found out about modular synths 3 years ago, and personally having a tidbit small background in electronics, that is extremely fun stuff, but a bit expensive. For those that do know their way around electronics (but absolutely not limited to), try vcv rack software if you don't know, it's free, and epic. Thanks for reading my ted talk

I have had my studio tore down for 8 years while working more on live instrumentation skills and singing. Finally pulling the trigger on setting back up and modernizing everything and this video was helpful! I’ve always used cubase and nuendo from school to interning in pro studio to home use so probably staying that route. Have you used them and are the still relevant? Id add an audio interface for anyone working on live instruments or vocals too!

Its important musicians prepare themselves for the lack of ways to distribute your music on a budget.
