it depends what direction you want to go.

#

do you wanna produce? do you wanna rap/sing? do you wanna engineer?

#

theres sp much to than just „doing music”

kvnima is right but as someone who started a year ago today i can give you some advice

  • Youtube is your friend, there’s a lot of amazing channels centred around production, performance, etc. I think Josh made a forum thread with some great vids + channels that can help.

  • Figure out what DAW you want, cracked or not, based on what works for you. FL is great for production and composition but some (including myself) find the interface way too busy. Personally I use ableton because I find it the simplest for recording. Logic is amazing for both and i originally learned on it in high school, i’d get it if i could.

  • be as open to criticism as possible with people close to you that won’t sugar coat things. Most people will agree with me when i say that too many people get into music and think they sound dope when they don’t. Be your own biggest critic first and then bounce ideas off others. A simple “how does this sound?” message goes a long way.

  • equipment! i would recommend a scarlet interface (there are different options depending on how many channels you need) and an AT2020 mic (imo the best entry level mic, it’s what i use). I recommend getting some decent studio headphones too if you haven’t already.

That’s all from me for now, good luck and if you need anything or need someone to listen to something i’m here :)
