There is a lot of information that I write down pen and paper note style. I have recently begun to write notes in a Word document so I can easily Ctrl+F anything I need, and I'm in the progress of transferring all of my old notes and stuff to this document.

This is sort of a 'table of contents' for my document, however I have not updated it. Each sub-section refers to the topic at hand, name of the article I've taken notes on, or whatever. (It's really not updated yet at all)

Here is an example of what is contained in each Chapter

Awesome stuff Kenny. Simplistic and well structured.

you could work on ur volume, and on the drop, ur bass is not powerful enough. it needs to be harder.

Sometimes a sample pack may have 25 tom hits, and only 5 are good. Just because they're from the same pack doesn't necessarily mean they're all good quality. Could be, but not guaranteed.

Sometimes? It feels like all the time. lol.

If you want to get serious about music production, and anyone who disagrees here I just don't see how you could, but you need good studio speakers.

Mmmmhhh. Sure, you'll need them if you get to the stage of doing your own mixdowns, but I feel like you could get away without them while you're learning the basics of composition and sound design. I don't have monitors these days (though I use a friend's from time to time), but I'm much more confident about the music I'm making now than I was the last time I used monitors regularly. I'm tempted to say that headphones could be better than a particularly bad, untreated room even with good monitors, but just my opinion.


I don't mean to say that studio monitors are unimportant, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting into producing if all they have to go on is headphones.

Digital Audio Workstation is the only thing really 100% necessary to begin producing..

When you first begin producing there's going to be a time frame where you don't need studio speakers, because you're simply just learning. Learn your DAW, learn your synth, take masterclasses on them to know how to control every parameter, study some reference track's song arrangements, transitions and FX.

Eventually then, probably once you have made your track's general arrangement, it would be wise (necessary) to work with EQ and the entire frequency spectrum, which is where you really do need good speakers (or headphones, but personally I don't ever use them).
