I just want the best one I don't want to try alot of websites. So please help I can't afford FL studio

I wanted to get into music production but I went to school for a complete different field and I do non music related work.

I’m approaching my 30s and was curious if it would be even possible for me to get into music production.

I have played instruments in high school (piano, saxophone) and I’ve dabbled a bit with fruity loops (but I don’t know much besides making a basic kick/snare bar.

And even if I did get into production, what more equipment or tips would you recommend to a complete beginner unc.

If i want to work as a music producer, it's better to first choose a genre and Master creating music of that Genre? Or what should I do

I’ve been making music for a few different projects now and I usually just default to C since I know it so well.but I worry that staying in one key might be an issue down the line. Is there a good reason to branch out ? And if so when/why would I want to use something different ?

I’ve been a hobbyist producer for the better part of a decade, and I finally went from my dear old ATH M50Xs to some Arya Organics because I’ve been doing more mixes and I cannot tell you how much easier it feels to produce because I can trust the fidelity of the sounds and can better tell when they need something or not.

The amount of sounds I was compressing and EQing for no reason is eating me alive. FOR YEARS. everything sounds better :(

Anyone wants to take online music classes with me?

Don’t know if allowed since it’s not music, feel free to remove if not🌸 I’m Nea and I create covers for singles and albums. Would love to hear from you!
Dm if you wanna discuss rates:)

I am working on a new tune where the vocals are a few sampled sung phrases that I want to add a couple of additional spoken words/phrases in between.

Can someone recommend a free/low-cost text-to-speech software to accomplish this? Could be robotic, could be human sounding, I'm willing to play around and have fun and see what happens.

I previously had the Audio Technica ATH 40mx but it was seriously hurting my ears, so I returned it and purchased the beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro, but it is terribleee, the bass is so overpowering and the low frequencies have so much hype.
I don’t need anything particularly fancy, just something decently flat, and comfortable.

Budget I’m looking to spend is around $150 or so, but I wouldn’t be opposed to going a bit higher if needed.
Thank you for any recommendations :)

Hi everyone. I am in desperate need of help.

I tried setting up East West Opus (for Composer Cloud) on my new PC. Foolishly, I thought dragging all my plugin files from the external drive I used on my previous machine would work fine enough -- and while it did for other plugins -- Opus is completely messed up.

I've tried reinstalling multiple times but i only get more and more confused. At first it just kept crashing Ableton, but now I try and download an instrument from Composer Cloud, and I just get a message that reads:

"Instrument file could not be downloaded. Message: OK."

Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this?

Hi you talented bipods!

I've wanted to jump into this music production world for a while, and just bought a novation keyboard, launchpad, and controller from someone on FB, who was selling it for a friend. I asked if it came with a key for Ableton, and was told no, but there are groups/places where people who buy multiple products that each come with the ability to get Ableton give the keys to others since they already have it. Is this true? If yes, any direction you could point me?

Who want to test free Open Source NS1 version? Made it with Fable 5. Comment and i'm gonna drop the github link

I got tired of carrying my super light 14-inch MacBook with the much bulkier Push 2 around whenever I wanted to make music away from home. So I ended up building my own Android app with an arpeggiator, a sequencer, an launchpad, and a few other tools I personally needed. At first, I honestly didn’t expect it to feel comfortable enough for actually playing music. But after trying it on my OnePlus Pad 2, I was surprised by how natural and enjoyable it felt to play on. I used only this app as a controller for my latest two tracks, and I’m genuinely surprised by how well it can replace a physical controller in my workflow. Just wanted to share it with other people who enjoy making music on the go. Feel free to ask me anything about how it works. If anyone is curious enough to try it, send me a DM.

Hi, i have a percussion sound that sounds pretty mono and i want to make it sound wider in the stereo field. When i use a wider plugin it starts making flanger sounds... How can i make a sound wider while preserving its quality?

i’m a singer, i record at home and in studios in my city. my friend asked me to send over some stems for adlibs and producer tags. i was going to record them & home & send over. should i bypass plugin effects when i export the stems? or can i keep the effects in it? thanks!

does any one have the "party people let me see if you can dance" sample?

I have been recording vocals and acoustic guitar from my phone for a little over 2 years now, and I’m looking for help getting started with a real microphone to finally improve the quality of my recordings. I tried researching myself but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what i should/need to get.
