Looking to get started in production, questions!
Been Dj’ing for a while now and i really want to get started on music production.
I plan on producing techno, house, EDM, from artists like Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Laidback Lule, Afrojack, etc. etc.
I currently mess around with FL Studio, but what equipment such as midi keyboards or any devices that would help in getting my foot in the door towards producing these house tracks?
soundcard, studio monitors and maybe a keyboard also of course a pair of good headphones
thats the thing what type of equipment as in.. helping with producing.
Whatever you can afford on your budget really i’ve got a m audio oxygen 41 also well as a korg nano kontrol and dj io soundcard
If you are interested in production equipment, you ought to look at this: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-electronic-music-production/
These are the things that I personally recommend for getting started in production- after reading all 11 of your posts, I gather you have only an S2 at the moment?
DAW:
Ableton (Live or Suite). Soundcloud has a few promotions at the moment with Ableton (free Live Intro for Soundcloud users, free subscription for Suite (and Live?) owners)
Soft Synths:
Massive (“pre-owned” serial numbers are just fine. Also bundled in Komplete and Komplete Ultimate, of course)
Operator and Analog (both bundled in Suite. There are lots of serials for sale on the ableton forum)
Pads:
Maschine
As far as keyboards go, the action is very important to me. Hammer action > semi-weighted > nothing.
Yes, just been djing at local warehouse parties and i want to get into producing.
All you need is headphones. Anything else is nice, and might make things easier, but literally nothing else is needed
