How easy electronic music producing can get?
What is the easiest way of producing electronic music?
I see a lot of sample packs to sell and they seem to have parts of music already made, so, should I just mix this stuff with ableton and BOOM I have a track?
I wanna start producing something just for fun, and making something easy would be a lot cooler that spending hours watching complex tutorials on youtube.
The easiest way to make a track is to sit down, open your daw and produce.
its your passion, talent and hard work that lets you finish a track. its your creativity that starts it. 
yea I realise that, but is it easy as: Buy Sample pack - Mix kicks to leads to etc. - export with dither (24bit to 16bit) - DONE
??
Am I missing something?
I already have ableton 9, 2i2 scarlett interface, beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro headphones and a good VAIO, what else do I really need to produce a track? Is a MIDI controller really necessary?
What do you think?
No, it’s not as easy as that at all. I’m new to it myself, and as much as we all want an easy life something like producing your own track can take many many hours.
To give me a head start I paid for some online courses in Logic that gave me a really good grounding, but there is so much to learn across many different elements that expecting an easy ride at this will mean your results aren’t going to be of any significant quality, and you certainly won’t stand out in any crowd.
You need to invest time and some money into learning if you want to do it the right way.
Yes, it’s that easy if you want to just put together some loops and show it to your friends.
But if you’re serious about producing your own music, then no, it’s not that easy.
But is putting this loops together considered producing? Like, can I sell it? Will I get any respect for doing this or it will be obvious that I simply put things together?
Well when you say easy what do you want your track to sound like? i can make a track in half an hour with no mixing, EQing and all the plugins added onto it. If your looking to buy sound packs all that gives you is sound. Not a whole track which you are thinking.
In electro music that big build up and sweep isn`t just one sound its many things working togeather to have that big drop. For a beginning producer there is nothing easy about making a track.
Definitely.
That’s if you include MIDI controller with a MIDI keyboard.
I got some excellent advice off a top music promoter in my city and he suggested in order to keep pulling off sick tunes (for example artists like Dusky, Simone Vitullo etc.) you have to learn piano.
With the right piano tutor… Within 2 weeks you’ll be as good as any music producer or DJ now… Just pulling off melodies in your tracks. He also said a good 20 mins at least a day with a midi keyboard. I don’t suppose you’ve got space for a grand piano but if you’ve already got one to practice on, great. But you might as well get a MIDI keyboard for your VAIO. Get a lil home studio going… Pulling off melodies like no tomorrow.
I used to find trying to do good melodies hard and confusing (me being confused how people in Beatport for example could do it and I can’t). And now I’m able to. Luckily enough for me, this music promoter knew the best piano tutor in the whole of Brighton. He’s the course designer for BIMM for the whole country for Piano. You really can’t go wrong for £50 an hour ahaha. Worth it though definitely, I’m sure there are plenty of great piano teachers in Sao Paulo.
But as MIDI keyboards go, you only have to get something cheap and cheerful. For example, I have the AKAI MPK Mini. Tiny.
I hope I was some help to you.
you will get no respect for doing this
also MIDI controller is by no means necessary. I know a lot of producers who produce just with mouse and keyboard.
Learn your DAW first and when you really need the controller, then get one
Nope.
elaborate
what’s not to get?
Easy boys…OP, if you want this kind of music to be that easy to make, you aren’t listening to the music. you gotta put time no refining a track, or it will just sound like loops glued together. In the end though, if the track sounds good, and people enjoy it, it doesn’t matter if you made it with $10,000 worth of gear and hours, or some pots and pans.
If you want to get into producing though, put the time into reading up on the forum here. There is a massive amount of information to help you along.
You don’t need a midi keyboard/controller, but once you get to grips with the software it will help.
You also don’t need to learn how to play piano, there’s plenty of very good producers who cannot, but could be of benefit, depends on the kind of music you want to make.
It’s like saying you need to be able to play the drums to make a great track, where really you don’t, I can’t play the drums but can program a drum beat, just like you can program a melody.
And just to clear up something, DJs and producers are not the same thing. DJ’s don’t need to be able “to pull off melodies”
Knowing how to play piano would help, knowing basic music theory would definitely help, and having a MIDI keyboard controller would help, but not all are absolutely essential.
I highly suggest you do exactly as you say and see what it sounds like compared to what you currently play. You’ll quickly discover the answer.
To answer the question: you can do this, but it will be quite boring. You need fills, breakdowns, buildups and drops which will require different, but similar rhythms, leads, etc. I find it very unlikely that anyone would be willing to pay for something produced the way you mention. What you could do is buy that sample pack, take some of the samples and slice them and dice them in an interesting way. That would help, but still won’t make you a huge producer.
And I haven’t even gotten to the mixdown and mastering…learning how to give each musical element its own space and making the best sounding song given the melody and beat, etc.
You won’t be “as good as any music producer or DJ” within “2 weeks”, even with the “right piano tutor”. This is a ridiculously bold statement, and it’s unreasonable to think that 2 weeks of practicing ANYTHING (even with the best instructor in the world) will put you on the same level as “ANY” professional out there. That’s potentially insulting to those who have been honing their craft for years. What production experience do you have that makes you so confident in this claim?
To the OP: Just to echo what others are saying, it is easy to simply produce music, but very difficult to produce good/original music. If your goal is to have fun, fire up the loops and samples and see what happens. At very least you will be learning how to structure a track properly, even if you are using sounds/beats that someone else created.
I understood. I tried a little bit with free samples on ableton and definately mixing is a problem. How to have all the samples sounding BIG but not making the master get over 0 db. Well maybe its too much for me right now, I might start remixing stuff before that.
Anyone knows a good tutorial for remixing EDM tracks?
I know 
of course it isn’t essential. I’m sure there are probably a lot of producers that create amazing and inspiring tracks without knowing a single chord on the piano. But in my opinion and in a lot of peoples opinions it would help a lot.
Indeed it was quite a bold statement. More of an example than anything else… If you just do it for a bit you can hammer off melodies in your tracks
