THEN 12 IT SHOULD BE!

i’d got for learning your DAW first the others will drop into place much quicker and possibly along the way as you learn.



learning to make solid beats is the most important part of dance music imo, although music theory is great to know, great tracks have been produced by producers with very little knowledge of music theory.

Having such a strict schedule would not be for me.then again its beena long time sinceI had to study



I think the most important thing is have FUN and take breaks

Start with the beginners tutorial on your chosen DAW.



Then start watching all the HTSL tutorials and Tech Tips.



On the side read up on music theory.

i’ve started with the thing that i’ve thought was holding me back the most…music theory



so far I’ve learned that it’s not all that important to understand it in ‘academic’ terms, but it helps if you know whats ‘possible’

i’m planning to invest some time in to it again.



for the engineering part, uni courses go from basics of the sound waves, to recording techniques (mic placement, etc) than sound design (synthesis) and sampling, followed by mixing and mastering, :slight_smile:

When it comes to Theory, the most important bit to understand is your majors and your minors and whilst you’re at it you may as well learn your accidentals too.

Dude if your young enough go to college and learn about sound engineering or production or something. My only regret is that I didn’t!

You’re never too old to study mate!!! I’m going to be 28 at the end of June and have been accepted into a Level 3 Digital Musician part time course starting Sept :slight_smile:

Yeah im 18 and i got a student loan for Full Sail Im going to Miami Next year :smiley:

This goes for all of any age. if you want to be professional you have to do something about it. going to school wont do anything good for you unless you put the time and work into what your doing. connections are tough to get until u have the material youre proud of first and for most. profession takes Thousands of hours for anything.



just remember

do what you like , like what you do. and study things you are not good at!!!



18 is pretty young bro you gotta good jump start on yourself now take advantage of it. time will go by fast but a lot happens in 1 year :wink: if you know what you want to do as a goal, what are you gonna do every day to get there.



study man i’ve heard this before.



Knowledge is so powerful!
