1. Introduction: Welcome to the Music
Production boot camp series. My name is Skyfall, and I've been making and teaching music for
modern success. Now, in this series, we'll be talking about
things that you need to get started with huge production
and get good at it. I'll also be posting some popular myths around
music production. And I will also be giving away some free resources for
you to get started. So all you gotta do is enroll underscores and get
started with it. Keep in mind that they are the more than eight modules in the series. And this
is the first one. So without any further
delay, that will started.
2. DAW: Sean, I get started with music production and did
some research. You might have come across
the term dog or DAW, which is short for digital
audio workstation. Digital audio workstation,
or DAW for short, is an application software
used for recording, editing, and producing
audio files. So this is the place
where we'll be adding or removing midi or audio
tracks, et cetera. This is where it'll be dumping all your creative ideas and we will be expressing ourselves. The importance of a dog
cannot be understated. It is to a recording musician what it can just be
straight visual artist. I think of it as a tool
and musician uses to transfer his creative
brilliance into music. At the most fundamental level. What a daughters is facilitate music recording from an area
of sources like microphone, drums, electronic
keyboards, etc. Before allowing the process
to be exported into a single audio track, e.g. MP3 WAV format. There are varieties of
dollars out there, e.g. Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Studio, Studio one, Cubase
reason, Googles, etc. These are all paid soft press, but there are some
free options also. But my suggestion to you
do choose the paid ones because T that adores that professionals use for
their production. And the free ones come
with a lot of limitations. And if you want to pursue music professionally or wish to
make provisional songs, you should stick
with the bad boss. Now, there must be one
question in your mind. Which one should I choose? R, which is the
best one out there? So we'll be discussing about
that in the next video.
3. The Best DAW: Stating which door is the best one is really a
subjective matter. We can compare different doors
based on their workflow, built-in plug-ins,
user interface, etc. Button cannot compare the doors in terms of their audio output, are the capitals, because
they were all the same. They all work on the same
concepts and algorithms. Um, so sharp this
because in the past I have worked with different
laws on different projects. And I still do. Even if you compare the workstation based
on their workflow, still we cannot
give a conclusion because every individual is different and everyone
has a different taste. Someone likes, let's say, chocolate flavored ice cream. And the person might not like
vanilla flavored ice cream. It's just like that. The
product is the same, but the flavor is different. Just support my point. I'll be giving you a
demonstration and I'll do that. All the doors, books. So now here I'm inside FL Studio and I have a
track loaded up near. What I'll be doing
is I will simply rendered object
completely dry without any effects and name it
as FL Studio sample. Now, I'm in everyday life. Again. I had the same song
here and again, repeat the same
steps, dry render, and then name it as sample. Now, I'll bring the
Ableton NF2 sample inside as the studio. And I will reverse
the polarity of the one of the
tracks are samples. Now play both the tracks
at the same time. And you will see that
nothing happened. There'll be no audio or no
sound at all. Here we go. You see there's no
sound coming out. So why did that happen? Because these two tracks are
copies of the same track. And when I reversed the
polarity of one audio signal, it cancel out the
other audio signal. In contrast, if I had glazed Andrew random audio below
one of these tracks, there will be sound coming out. But not when I have the same audio file
playing at the same time. Reversed polarity it up, do DAW or any different than the outputs could
not have canceled each other when the
polarity is reversed. Try it out yourselves, you know, the doors like Google's
logic gets trapped. The conclusion is that
all work the same. It's not about the dog, it's about the person
sitting behind a computer. So how should you choose adult? Honestly, no one can give
an answer to this question. The only way to get an
answer is that if download the demos for the demo
version of each of these soft gels and
try each of them for few days and get to know
which door fits you the best.
4. How long does it take to learn one DAW: How long does it take
to learn on dark? Honestly, it varies
person to person. But generally speaking, you can learn the basic
concepts within one month and some of the intermediate
and advanced concepts in about seven to eight months. But I'm pretty sure that if you give the appropriate amount
of time to practice, you'll be able to create a
simple and distance song. We didn't do the four ones
off learning abruption. Here, I'm not saying that
you'll be able to create something like tiny restaurants collects into four months. It would take years of practice, but you'd be able to make a decent demo to show to
your friends and family. It felt vision is to make
tracks to get placed with regards to
automate hit song, you will need to test a new ofs two to three years of practice. It sounds a lot, but
I promised you lose track of days when you
start enjoying the process. I'm in my seventh
year producing music. And honestly, I just feel like I just started making
music a month ago. And I still have
a long way to go. And I do that two to
three years of period can be minimized
with the help of a mentor who can die during
each step of your journey. And you could find mentors on platforms like Instagram and YouTube to get the best results out of your learning process. To set aside anywhere between
half an hour to 2 h daily. You need to practice every day. And if not every day, then a minimum of
five days a week.
5. Gears & Equipments: If you have been watching
quite a few videos on YouTube, you must have seen a lot of
producers telling you to get a bunch of gears like
a midi controller, the body VST plugin, microphones, headphones,
monitoring speakers. And let's try to get started
with music production. But the question is, do
we really need this? No, we don't need
any of these items. I have seen a lot of new
producers make this mistake. And even a lot of my students have made this
mistake in the past. What they do is they just go and buy all these things
from the market. In the first lecture starts. And after four or
six months later, they realize that
they're not using half of these equipments
that they bought. This piece of a tremendous
sit there and collect us. I'm not saying that these
YouTubers are wrong. I'm saying is that the list they share is not
specific to you. You might just want
to be a bit maker and make beats and sell them. And there isn't
really a need for a microphone at the beginning
stage of the journey. Or you might just want
to recall your focus. There isn't really a need of an expensive VST like cmon axis. So what do you really need at the beginning
stage of the journey? All you really need to learn this production is a
computer or a laptop, a good pair of
headphones and add DAW. This is all you really need
to learn its production. All the doors that are
available in the market. So capital, they have so
many good samples of sounds. There are so many good
VS is that there's a real need of a
third party plugin for you to learn which
production line you can buy additional years
and pieces of Acumen. Many feel that there
is really a neat, but most likely they
will be more need for additional gears anytime before your second or third
your production. This is just an
estimate, by the way. Anyway, the gears and
commence will not add anything to production until you don't practice enough. So be smart and don't just
waste your hard-earned money. Instead of thinking about years, it should be channeling your
mind towards learning and mastering the fundamental
soft music production first. So all you really
need is a laptop, a good pair of
headphones, and DAW. That's all.
6. Thank you: This is the end of
the first module of music production
wood can Series. Thank you for enrolling
in this course. I really appreciate your time. So what did he learn
in this module? We learned about what's adult, how all does work the same. The gear that we need to get started with the
means of production. And how long fixed
women's production. I hope that I've helped you guys to get a clear vision of
the learning process. If there are any doubt
in your mind regarding a clean modules or music
production in general, we can write to
me at this email. I would love to help you
out. And I'm also giving away a free sample bag that
you can download from them. I'll see you in the next module. Until then, take care.
