Right from the moment I started DJing, I started learning stuff. At the time there weren't really any internet forums or websites dedicated to learning the required stuff, so I learned by trial and error.
Since I took up producing tracks as well as just playing them to people, internet forums and websites dedicated to learning this stuff have been invented, and things have got a lot easier. But even now, when I think back, there's been so much stuff that it seems you need to know to make music but nobody ever tells you.
This blog is all that stuff.
Whilst my forays into music have been pretty ill-advised on the whole, I feel like my productions are slowly getting better. One day, I might actually release something, who knows? Along the way though, every time I seem to open Ableton up and start messing around, I learn something new. I've been messing around for 2 years now, and I'm still learning stuff. But I've decided I should write it all down so maybe you don't have to spend 2 years getting to the same point I'm at now.
If anyone's got any comments on whether there's a better way of doing something, leave a comment! I don't want this place to just be me, me, me! I'm going to be writing about using Ableton in relation to making House music in the main, just because that's what I use and make, but I'm sure most of the tips here can be used in just about any major DAW, and applied to most styles of electronic music.
Hope you find something useful here, let me know if you do!
