Lasty, if you have the money and are down to invest, purchase an akai midi keyboard.

it's fun to simulate and to manipulate stock sounds! if you're making electronic music, you're working with samples anyway (of individual sounds), right? (they're just samples u play as an instrument.) go online and peruse for samples in the bpm that you want and try to layer different elements together till you have something that resembles a song.

also dont be afraid of learning simply thru trial and error we all have our own ways of doing things that make sense to us and just fucking with the programs is the best way to learn in a manner that's conducive to ur process.Įxperiment with samples and sound collages. dont be afraid to make shitty beats - they'll all be shitty and generic sounding at first but you'll get better eventually.

Spend hours on youtube tutorials taking notes, daw open, trying everything out in real time. what sounds does the producer use? what about the mood and tone of the production do you like? which parts of the songs give it structure but disappear/aren't so prominent or loud? perhaps a repeating snare line, some scratch sample in the background? So many ways! just gonna go off the dome here so sorry if this is a bit^scatterbrainedįirst, become a conscious music listener - go back to your favorite songs and try to pick out all the elements they consist of.
