Everyone, hi!
You all probably hate this question and I totally get it. However, Everything I find online is confusing. I’m not sure where to start. I have no education in music. I would like to create electronic, drum and bass, and garage music.
What do I need to do first? Is it sound synthesis? What are the next steps? In gereral, what are the major steaps to creating a tune?
Any tutorials that you think are good, video or written, are welcome. I only use Linux. If you have suggestions for applications, I am listening.
Please, help! Thank you in advance.
Just gonna give it to you exactly like it is.
Download some samples pop then into your DAW, have fun!
Build on that for a bit. Chuck it and start a new one if it feels like you are forcing it/getting demotivated.
Once you have something you like it will probably be waaaay too much of everything so start removing parts, see you that starts a progression/arrangement and follow that until you reach a point.
Slowly start making your own samples, maybe pick up some gear to make your own loops with. Fall in love with a synthesiser.
Don’t pressure yourself, just enjoy being creative and make something you like.
Yeah this is good advice. If it’s not fun then you won’t learn.
