I know literally nothing about electronic music. It took me (legit) 2 days to figure out what a Launchpad does (I spent so much time just pressing buttons on one my friend owns and wondering why it didn't do anything).
So I was wondering: How did you all start? What resources are available to learn about all the different equipment that's out there, what it does, and how it works?
Where do samples even come from? And what do you do with them?
What are all the different knobs for?
Also: I tried using music software not knowing that I actually needed to know music theory. Anywhere I can go to learn about how to make music that doesn't sound like I'm a toddler hitting random piano keys?
This stuff just seems so fun and I really want to get into it, but I have no idea where to start.
