Where/ how to begin producing?
Hey there
I recently bought Ableton (Standard Version) and visited a workshop to learn the technical side of using it. But what is the next step, if you want to produce (in my case techno and psy-techno) music? I have never done any electronic or instrumental music and have no idea how to begin. There are so many tools in Ableton!
Do you usually have a song in your head and then search hours over hours the synthies, drummachines etc. that can realize this song? Or do you play around with these thousands of tools and occassionaly find something that you like and inspire you for a song?
Sorry, if my inquiry sounds very amateurish; I just have the feeling that my current way of just play around with the software without a strategy will not lead to any results and will destroy my motivation in the long term.
Would be very grateful for any experiences of how you began producing music :)
Thx and kind regards
