Want to start producing asap!

[discodance]

I'm just wondering if anyone experience with producing music could teach and coach me.

I've got a massive urge and drive to climb past the learning stages so I can dive into making some music and hopefully make a career out of it which is my end goal. I know most of the basic features of fl studio 11 and have massive and a LOT of the vengeance packs. I've also decided I want to begin playing the piano as producing electronic music and piano goes hand in hand. So if you guys or anyone are willing to direct me in the right direction I would be grateful. For your interest I'm current a fan of the "Melbourne sound" which is what I'd like to focus on producing, however I do enjoy songs from various genres.

Cheers guys

Don't really know what else to tell you. You know what you want to achieve and you have quality samples and a DAW.

FL Studio is perfectly fine for any level of writing music as well.

Just keep practicing

you can go to uni and do a sound production course.

also, Youtube has tons of tuts to help you out.

And our production section has lots of great tips

Yep git up all those youtube clips.

Start with learning your software first imo, then move onto to actual production stuff like all your eqing and keys etc.

Get the basics down, then you can move into making and tweaking your own sounds, writing your own cords etc.

I am just starting out aswell. I'm using Ableton.

I found these two clips perfect for learning.

... hopefully make a career out of it which is my end goal.

also if a career is what your after, music theory is really important.

Music theory is the universal language of musicians.

The basics may seem tedious and irrelevant, but they are not. They are essentials.

You can write a few hits at home, but once you get into a professional studio with other professionals, you are going to need to express your ideas professionally.

This guy is good if your not going to school or need to refresh what you may have learned back at school.

I found this site last night. It's got free tutorials, packs and a few bits and pieces. There's also a Premium page that you can sign up to if you like. I'm a beginner with Ableton aswell but I know a few bits and pieces. If you need any help PM me and I'll see if I know what you're talking about.

Better to keep it on the public forum so others can learn from it too!
