You should start with basic music theory…The problem why many productions fall short nowadays and never even get played by insiders are simply:
Producers invest a lot of time just learning the tools (Logic, Ableton, Maschine,…) but lack real knowledge about what they should do.I played a saxophone and have been a percussionist for about three years, is that okay for knowing music theory? Is there other stuff I can do to learn it?
January 22, 2013 at 11:34 pm in reply to: What do you absolutely need to know when starting to produce? #35490Nick PowersParticipantSo I want to produce house music, where can I gain a lot of knowledge about it?

I have a couple of questions.
Do we first produce basslines , buildups , drop, beats separately and then mix them in or create it as we go?
Where do we learn the basics?I also have those questions haha thanks for asking them
January 21, 2013 at 8:39 pm in reply to: What do you absolutely need to know when starting to produce? #35434Nick PowersParticipantAnother question I have is how to start, do I make little bits then put them together or do I start from the beginning and build the song from a simple bass line or something similar to it?

Are maschines for live remix?
Nick PowersParticipantWould that be possible with any software?
January 11, 2013 at 2:37 am in reply to: How would you describe each sub-genre of dance music? #34845Nick PowersParticipantI’m just wondering how to explain it to friends
January 9, 2013 at 3:56 am in reply to: How would you describe each sub-genre of dance music? #34710Nick PowersParticipantI’m mean like how you describe house, trance, dubstep, etc.

Sorry I didn’t word that right, I meant if it would be good to start producing and what it could help me with when I get software, and also as an afterthought I was wondering if it is good or not. Sorry for all the questions.
Nick PowersParticipantwhat can this be used for?
http://www.amazon.com/Akai-SYNTHSTATION25-25-Key-Keyboard-Controller/dp/B0038YX3C2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topNick PowersParticipantI want to start producing various EDM songs (sorry for using that term) and also hip-hop/rap beats. I heard that a mixer/audio interface was needed, if this mixer will be able to be used as a sound card please tell me. I know some people who sing and rap, so i thought that this setup seemed really cost effective.

After you said it can only cost 140$, i definitely thought to buy it but when i enter my keycode, to upgrade from Numark N4 LE to Pro will cost me $249 and its far far away from my budget for now 🙁
Try logging into your account and buying it. I was logged in and it said that it would be $140, I also have a mixtrack pro though.
Nick PowersParticipantWhat version of Reason do you recommend?
Nick PowersParticipantThe blog does not work with internet explorer, it works perfectly fine with firefox though.
