As a beginner music artist, I’m in need of advice. I did learn one thing, which is to take things slow. Try not to jump to the most exciting part just yet, because you might not be able to do it and it will become demotivating and aaaahhh you gave up.
I remember wanting to jump straight to the cool EDM music and those cool basses and growls, but wait, there was so many terms I had to learn 😢.
This mindset caused me to stop producing for a few months and become off and on. This is why it’s better to take things slow. Learn the basic principals, learn how to use the stock plugins. As an old friend would say, you can’t know how to do 2x2 without learning 2+2 first.
Those reading this, thank you :))
What advice do you have for those starting out?
It’s been mentioned already but getting to know your DAW is probably number one for sure. Then it’s a matter of making songs of genres that you’re into, considering you’re going to be the most familiar with that genre. And lastly listening to music outside your genre will greatly expand your musical taste and ear, and will allow you to experiment with different stuff too.
