Hi everyone nice to meet you and sorry for the longer post. And apologies if this is the wrong place to write this! The website and community here looks impressive and I’m excited to be a part of it.
I’m looking for some advice for an absolute beginner. I’ve been into trance for about 15 years now - listen to it daily. Unfortunately up until recently I’ve not been in a position to get into DJing or music production. That has now changed and I’m ready to dive in! I truly love the genre of music and have always wanted to get into this side of things.
My first issue is the equipment. There is a restriction with it - my job involves moving around the UK and Europe frequently. I can’t transport speakers or much equipment at all basically. A friend recommended a Pioneer XDJ-Aero although from looking online just now I’m not sure if these are still being sold? What do you guys think about this or are there better options out there? My budget is anywhere up to £1000. And in terms of learning the ropes, will I be able to do this just with headphones?
Second issue is the production software (I’m on an Apple laptop). Will only be planning to learn how to produce trance if that’s relevant. Any recommendations would be massively appreciated.
And any other advice on what you’d do starting out in my position or any beginner’s tutorials or anything at all I’d truly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Tim Hughes
Hi I.m new here ! I like the video tutorial.But it’s hard to me to fully understand only by listening because I’m Chinese:cry:
Sup everyone! Im super new to all this!! Excited to network and learn from everyone. what is the best thing for learning the fundamentals for producing?? is there a product you recommend. I need a music for dummies book basically. I want to learn basic basic stuff. Thanks
purchased the drum synth on a recommendation … sounds very enjoyable.
nice to be using software again, after going through a “hardware-only” phase.
Welcome to the forums, wishing you to have fun @ enjoy your new Kick 2 software

Yep it is, I had a FB account just used to post Daws, plugins news & S.A related things and really did not believe the amazing Music Production Discussion Groups you could find using FB Groups as well as the number of users and how fast it can be to get replies & interact with others. I’ll see you there soon then
Cheers !

Hi,
Im completely new to music production, I was a fan of House and Tecnho back in the 90s so thought it might be fun to try and make a track.
I have picked up Ableton Standard, Ana2, Kick2 and Syntorial hopefully that can get me going.
Hi there @Mark011
Welcome to Sonic Academy & the forums Hope you will enjoy the content.
You can already achieve quite a lot with ANA 2, KICK 2 and the standard version of Live. You did well to get Syntorial too, it’s a very great tool to learn about synthesis.
Be sure to watch the recent video tutorial about the new website features, that might be handy to look for content & other tips.
Also feel free to use the forums to exchange about tutorials, make requests or report issues with your S.A plugins, just check out the different topics available and again : welcome !

Hi everyone!
I’m LeTronique and I have no idea where to start.
I’ve been working on music theory on & off for the last few months but I can’t help but feel like it’s wasted because I have no way of implementing it into production (Still learning how to use Ableton and it’s… a lot).
I have so many ideas but getting them on a piano roll and arranging them eludes me.
Any ideas for some lessons for a total noob? Tips? Advice?
Much appreciated!
