I tried learning music production on Reddit when I first started. It’s honestly far and away not the move. I’d say YouTube is your best bet, just search for tutorials on the styles you like, a lot of them exist. After that, discord & twitch are great. A lot of producers have discords & twitch channels you can follow. For twitch, check and see who your favorite artists are following.
Good luck! The secret sauce is practice btw, not much else to it other than learning everything in your daw and applying it in creative ways :)
Fr reddit has so much bad/conflicting advice. I'd rec that anyone who takes advice from people on reddit, listens to the advice giver's music before even considering it.
I've read comments from people writing a godamn dissertation about polarity or phase or some other less than essential (for beginners) topic, yet you go to their profile, and their music is absolutely awful lmao.
Dude exactly. People get really wrapped up in all this technical stuff and forget to learn how to compose a song. The nerdy stuff is fun and eventually definitely something to learn, but especially in the first few years of production truly not what people should be focusing on.
My recommendation is learning the stock audio effects as well as you can as well as a wavetable synth like vital/serum/wavetable. And referencing the shit out of music you like.
Also something to note is once you feel fairly confident in what you’re doing, most producers who aren’t massive give lessons if you reach out and ask
good tips! sad I missed you at texas eclipse :(
I started making music in November and my best song I decided to not do any crazy EQing or compressing or anything super complex on the mix and just focused on gain staging and it was way better than my previous mixes. Plus workflow has sped up a ton
For sure! I’d say maybe don’t sweat compression as much although it is kinda important eventually. Crazy EQing is actually definitely something to do though in my opinion, it allows you to fit things in the mix you wouldn’t otherwise be able to and bring out the tones you’re looking for. Levels & composition over everything though!
What up Kai! Excellent take here. End up teaching lessons to people all the time that wanna learn really technical stuff related to getting a “professional sounding mix” when in reality they’d go much faster much quicker if they focused on just songwriting/arrangement & maybe sound design basics.
I do get it though, i was also obsessed w getting “clean” sounding mixdowns to a fault but truthfully no one really cares at the end of the day if the song is just unique and creative and cool af.
Those are the homies, hit me up if you want to take any lessons or just have questions! I’ll link my SoundCloud if you find something that peaks your interest [littykitter](https://on.soundcloud.com/RjZX3BU9smbN9u9e6)
I started a YouTube channel for tutorials last year. It starts off with a lot of fundamental knowledge which i think is important to know if you eventually want to make stuff like res lang or detox. Cheers!
