r/Learnmusicproduction

Hey. So I've been trying to get into vgm composing and just musical production altogether. When I was 14 I messed around and did some midislaps and flp edits but that was about as far as I got in under a year. 8 years later I open FL and recreate a bunch of songs from games I like, specifically "Spamton" from deltarune and float islands from kirby super star specifically. Eventually I even composed a little 8 second song all on my own. I thought it sounded nice. I did them all pretty good and entirely by ear, and before that I did a bunch of by ear recreations of songs on my dad's old messed up keyboard. Anyways, I try to recreate the overworld theme from "the frog for whom the bell tolls" or whatever the hell that game's actual most accurate translation is. I pretty much fucked up entirely. The shape of the melody itself was similar but I was so off on almost every exact note. It was just super sobering, doing a bunch of shit that i thought meant i had promise, only to stumble into something I just couldn't beat with effort alone.

It had me thinking, because a person i know who is also a musician had done an arrangement of that song at 13 years old. I really don't know if practice is gonna be the thing that takes me to the level I want to be. It really seems like that in most music related things, talent matters the absolute most. Idk. I just need a second opinion, or a couple from people who have experience.

I’ll try to best to give everyone a thoughtful response - send something your the most proud of

I really want to start making my own music and eventually create an EP, but I have no idea where to start. I’m interested in R&B/neo-soul and have Logic Pro and a MIDI keyboard. For anyone who makes their own music, what should I focus on learning first?

So I'm trying to learn how to make music, and I'm gonna try and learn how to make beats. I don't want to mindlessly do stuff, though. If there is any way you guys found that helped you learn, and you could share anything, that would help.

i can write songs and sing them, but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to produce a song. the best I can do is making harmonies on garageband. 💔

would anyone have any tips on how I can produce music? i dont really hve the equipment (dont even got a proper mic) and i really struggle understanding DAW.

other than that, any songwriter tips?

I've been looking at submitting some of my tracks to labels and CAN'T believe some labels still use email. There's gotta be a better way.

I want to start putting music to my songs. All new to this. Where do I start? Writing the music then lyrics? Writing lyrics then music? What programs and equipment do I need to make music?

Im 15 years old and musical background is limited to piano and learning to dj as of now, ive only had two local gigs. I want to make music as a passion project, while it isnt a career path im exclusively pursuing, im not taking it as a light hobby either, its a serious thing i want to do on the side. I really have no clue where to begin, for the past few days ive been experimenting with different free DAW's so any and all tips will be a huge help. Im focused on making edm and hyperpop

I'm an Indie Electronic Musician trying to finish my first ever Album, I'm wanting to know if anyone here has any good tips regarding song structure as I don't want my tracks to be to long or to short

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
