    It's an expensive hobby and if you're doing it to make profit then forget about it

      only if you have GAS. most DAWs are relatively inexpensive and all you need is a mouse/trackpad and keyboard or a cheap midi keyboard

            then use it to your benefit. get all the stuff i said and make glitchcore or cybergrind or sweet ass chiptune + melodic guitars type shit. ain't nobody out there doing that at any kind of high level

              because chiptune and cybergrind are meme genres that only guitar fags like so they can say they like some electronic music

      Re-appear once you disappear, using Reaper. Just keep repeating that on loop like your shitty most 1/4 bar track.

      >It's an expensive hobby
      It's technically entirely free if your time is worthless and you already own a useless PC.
      All you need is a PC circa 1998, 1988 or even 1978-79 on a stretch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_sound_cards

      Monitors and a soundcard are like €400 and you can just torrent ableton and plugins.

    Pick up the friggin' guitar, zoomie, and a copy of Masters of Reality and learn from the masters!

    Twisting knobs is not creating music even though every single boomer album ever recorded had producers and sound engineers doing this on them.
    It does not shape the sound!
    Only ebin licks do!

    Pirate a daw and go to town. Start with programming drums, it's a great place for people with no musical talent to start

    You're gonna need desire determination and relentless dedication the rest God will provide
    Listen to dance music you like, steal the sounds, make new shit with the sounds, make a bunch of shit, DJ it together, DJ other people's tracks, mix those tracks with your own tracks elements
    Repeat for until you're paid

      tbh just download Stochas (sequencer), do a normie beat and then add a bunch of extra notes with a random probability of occurring. or you know, actually learn about rhythm, there's no shortage of drum lesson videos out there.

        good for you

        you are not the only one
        there are hundreds of successful "producers" like you doing this shit...
        as someone who studied music, music theory, composition and sound design and doing this for over 20 years now without any accomplishments or career, it is demoralizing and the reason i quit music

        i wasted my time

    Basically music is so easy anyone can do it. However it takes a long time. So nobody believes they're qllow e to speak language even though they already speak language from childhood. English is a language, walking is a language. You take both for granted. You say you're not allowed to walk or speakz you're a crippled mute forever since you missed out. But obviously it doesn't work like thatm if you took an adult who couldn't walk or speak you could absolutely teach them and by the time a few decades had past you'd never notice a difference, because you can only get so good at walking or speaking

    You don't need loads of expensive equipment for a start

    Go and use Audiotool and have some fun putting together a simple house track, get used to how the different equipment works. It's so easy to use and free and because they have 303, 808 and 909 emulations on there, you've already got some great very familiar sounds to work with for doing classic house and techno, plus a bunch of other synths

    use distortion to rough up the sounds
    use compression to make sounds smoother, more refined, and make them sit better with each other

    compression is the most subtle and powerful tool to get a pro sound

    that and EQ. use EQ to damp down rogue frequencies that are annoying, again, it's a magic tool for getting a really nice professional sound

    if you get on with that, you'll know where to go next
