I want to make music. Where to start?
|
| start small. use a phone with a production app or a program like garageband (if you got a mac). you can always pirate but aim for getting experience before getting quality.
| Read a good book about Music Theory. From that it will be easy to make good stuff.

Yeah, that's kinda problematic for me. Can't find a good one. They're either way too hard to understand (i.e. definitely not entry level books) or don't really talk about the "important" stuff at all (one book I read was just praising classical music while sorta explaining its history for like half of it, without much getting into detail about theory itself).

I've been wondering, will 4 octaves be enough on a midi keyboard? I will probably want to play some piano with it, too, but nothing too crazy, and mostly just make electronic music

Well yeah, but that's true for anything smaller than a full piano keyboard, right? Although I suppose there would be less issues if I got a 5 octave one.

| It should be told first and foremost that I know near to nothing about music. I can play some stuff on an acoustic guitar (mostly some études and stuff), but I don't really know why some chords or notes played in succession sound good and some don't.
What I want is to make some synthwave-y stuff, something like GUNSHIP sans vocals. But just screwing around with FL Studio doesn't really produce much of a result, and I don't know what and how I should learn first. Please help?
