Learning music production as a beginner (asking for advice)
Hello! I’ve been meaning to learn music production since the start of high school, but unfortunately school work stopped me from practicing all my hobbies (at the time). I’m in my first year of college now, and I’ve been meaning to work early on my assignments to leave time for learning music production. the thing is, i have zero idea where to start. i have never written a song before but i made a minute and a half beat on bandlab a few months ago, thats my only experience. i keep trying to replicate the step by step videos on YouTube but its so confusin. so i end up by lowkey wasting the time i worked ahead for. i also couldnt find any beginner friendly tutorials on how to make type beats of the artists that i like. i also noticed that most of the good plugins are payable. when do you think is the right time to invest in a daw and plugins? if you have any advice. any tips, any helpful tutorials please share your wisdom with me :)) feel free to talk about your early music production journey too! id love to hear about it! please be kind 2 me. HOpe you have a wonderful day!
