Best ways to start
« on: July 16, 2016, 12:26:32 pm »
So I'm 100% new to music/sound production and I'm looking for a way to get into learning how to make music; so I was wondering what's the best way to begin with all this, is there any good tutorial videos or websites I could use or anything?
I currently have Fl Studio 11 and Ableton 9 Live Suite installed, so any advice on those would be preferred.
Anything to help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Pick one of those programs and start clicking on things. It's a very non linear process. I remember watching the dodge and fuski tutorials early on.

Seamless is good - if you're a FL Studio user. He uses Harmor a ton. 

I am an Ableton user and don't find his tutorials that useful.  He also (IMO) is a bit narrow-scoped - he can do growl bases well...and that's about it.

Pick one of the DAWs (they're both excellent) and RTFM.  Read the .. manual. :)  Seriously.  I can't speak for FL Studio, but Ableton has a fantastic manual.  They're so useful.

FL has a very detailed manual too, and sometimes it goes beyond how the software works and into how to use it. Like their mastering suite has a quick primer on the Loudness War.

I'll say that picking a DAW is like picking a starter Pokemon. Not always an easy choice, but it's the rest of your team- and you- that determines how you do against the Elite Four.
(Laziness, inertia, despair, and unwillingness to innovate. Or something.)
