I really liked the way you have organised and summarised elements in such short video

Thank you so much! This was exactly the video I was looking for. I know what to research now to start producing!

Love this channel. Glad you’re back.

[@BlackGhostAudio]

Creating Music Production for Beginners ate up a lot of my time but there are plenty of new videos on the way!

[@2holyelijahidikwu452]

Beautiful

[@kanavvv171]

Can you make a video on how to use akai MPK mini 3 or any midi controller in brief and usage of them in production process

[@BlackGhostAudio]

Thanks for the suggestion. This could be an interesting video!

[@selectasanipremium]

Thanks man, I'm actually implementing this right now and I'm feeling and seeing massive progress. How did you think about this? Wow!

[@BlackGhostAudio]

All these focus areas make up the music production process as a whole. Breaking down the complex topic of "music production" into bite-sized chunks helps make things more manageable. You can work on music theory one day, recording techniques the next, etc. The learning never stops, but you should be able to build a strong foundation with this roadmap :)

Have you done a video on the circle of fifths?

[@zackplauche]

Where does Sound Design fit into all this?

[@BlackGhostAudio]

That’s a good question. It depends on the genre of music you produce. For example, a folk artist is likely focused on recording live instruments and may never learn how to use a synth like Serum. On the other hand, learning synthesis is critical to EDM artists, assuming they want to create a majority of the sounds they use. There’s nothing stopping you from learning sound design alongside these other disciplines; it’s sort of it’s own animal. Many artists have dedicated sound design sessions where all they do is create sounds and render them to audio. Later, when they’re running a production session, they’ll use the sounds they made. I like to use Splice samples or record live audio, but if I’m looking for a specific sound, I’ll design synth patches on the fly. It comes down to preference and what fits into your workflow.

Can we buy Ableton live essentials for this

[@jpstellaer]

The Sydney Opera Hall...

[@venus0q1]

What soft ware do u use in your beginner course?

[@BlackGhostAudio]

The course teaches you using a free trial of Ableton Live. It’s set up this way so that you can follow along with each video, step-by-step. The skills you learn are transferable to any DAW, so many students take the course, and then take what they learn and apply it to Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, etc.

[@dennisguilder1]

Don’t know if the channel is still active but does this teach you how to take music from your mind and make it exactly like it in a DAW? I have many songs in my head but can’t describe it and know nothing about music

[@BlackGhostAudio]

It will take some time to be able to do that, but this is definitely the first step. Producing music is comparable to lifting weights. After you learn the basics, you need to put the reps in and remain consistent to get buff. Similarly, you need to produce a lot of music to get to the point that you’re talking about. My course gives you the knowledge to produce music, from start to finish, but I can’t put the reps in for you. That’s something you’ll need to tackle on your own afterward.

[@dennisguilder1]

@@BlackGhostAudio thanks for the reply! So but could the course teach you everything to where if you think of a beat you can just go make it? I know I would have to practice but can it get that far or would I need more? If so any suggestions?

[@BlackGhostAudio]

@@dennisguilder1 it will teach you how to use all the tools you need to do that. Within the course, I talk about transcribing music. I think the main hurdle would be sound selection, which is something that’s subjective and up to you. It’s one of those things that with experience, you figure out which sounds work well together. Although, I explain where I get all my audio samples and sounds in the course 👍🏻 I teach you which axe to use and how to swing it, but I don’t tell you which tree to chop down. That’s up to you!
