Hi,
I have almost no knowledge of musical theory, i could probably tell you whether a chord is a D, C, G or E minor based on guitar lessons I had a decade ago but that is about it.
I am a big fan of dubstep, trap, drum and bass and future bass and I would really like to dabble in producing some basic beats.
I have several questions...
-How would you guys recommend that I start?
-Are piano lessons necessary? If so, what are the key concepts I would/ should learn from taking lessons?
-What are the best DAWs for beginners, both free and paid? (bear in mind i'm a student).
-Would you recommend that I start by using samples or should I aim to produce my own sounds from scratch?
Thanks guys, answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
