Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Trying to find branching tree used for analyzing songs.
« on: January 17, 2016, 02:08:56 am »
I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere on these forums and forgot to save it. It was a picture someone made that branched out form the middle and it asked question and had key points to pay attention to if you wanted to listen intently and analyze a song. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The best place to start is the instruction manuals. Read the Reason manual from start to finish before going anywhere else. Glance through the other manuals, but don't really worry about it - you're looking for questions you might want to ask. From there, spend a few weeks just clicking around your DAW, seeing what everything does. Find the native plugins that are interesting or cool, and go back to the instruction manual to read up on them. Then look for any quick start guides or "getting started" (I think reaktor has one) guides and follow along with it. Then just putz around while reading the normal manuals. By the time you've finished all of that, you can drag a song that really inspires you, chop it up to get the arrangement, and see how well you can match them. Don't try to beat them, and be okay with something that sounds like crap, but try to hammer it out.

And there you go! You're on your way to making music.

The manuals! Gah! Always forget the manuals. I know Reason has a really good manual. Thanks for the help. Just have to keep it simple for now.

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / How do I narrow down plugin and gear selection?
« on: January 06, 2016, 11:53:48 pm »
I'm new to music production and I'm getting pretty overwhelmed. I read about people having some gear or some kind of plugin that I don't have. Massive, Sylenth, Reaktor, etc. Now I know I don't need all of the newest plugins or all the newest gear. I'm someone that has a passion for music. That's why I'm learning Piano and trying to get into Music production. I tried to get into Music Production 5-6 years ago and gave up because I got frustrated. I feel like I have a better mindset and I want to push into it and get my hands dirty. Though, the more I look around the more overwhelmed I get and I'm going to be smarter than last time by just asking around more. Thankfully I found this forum because it seems like it could turn out to be a great community.

Right now I have Reason and Studio One Artist. I also got Reaktor because from what I could tell it's very versatile with what it can do. What I want to know is just how to get started. I hear that I should try to imitate artists and songs that I really like. I don't have the knowledge to do that at the moment. I don't want to keep overwhelming myself because I know it's better to just 'Do' at the point I am right now. So how do I go about learning what I have? Iknow I don't need to go ahead and buy more because I have plenty to work with. I'm just overwhelmed, but I have a passion for music. So that overwhelmed feeling has to go on. :p I'm not asking for the best direction, just a reasonable one. Don't have any musical buddies either and this seems like a great place to start.
