Hey guys,
Recently (as in..around a month) I picked up music production as a hobby, got myself a cheap launchkey mini and Ableton Live (currently sitting on the trial version of Suite...it's awesome).
Took some online courses on music theory, learned scales, keys, chords, all of that basic stuff, and thought 'okay, maybe I can make something'. God, was I wrong.
I can throw a 4-bar chord progression in and add a choppy melody to it, but that seems like the extent of it.
But it seems like - after looking through the FAQ - there's so much more to production than just writing the track (hey, I could use some help on that too, not gonna lie) and finding which instruments sound good together. Stereo, EQ'ing...all of that. It's nuts how much there is to this.
That brings me back to the original question - where, in all of this, should I start? ...Am I even in the right place for someone who's only been trying to produce for a month?
I probably came into this really underestimating how much there would actually be to this - especially for someone who has such high standards and loves that instant gratification.
I'm assuming that learning the ins and outs of all of this is going to be mostly a solo adventure as there's really no one who can be with me to teach me the entire way through x)
Thank you all :)
