You're welcome. Nice dubs btw

Anyway, back to posting

Music and musicians in the current century

It used to be really hard to be a musician close to a century ago. But it's relatively easy to start now. You have a lot of tools at your disposal. You can even make studio-quality music on your own if you want. 

Starting out

There's plenty of resources you can try to start making some music. Best advice is just to practice a lot, follow song composing patterns, find good inspiration, and have fun. Also find some friends or people to share/play music with. That helps too

Here's a few music creating programs you can look into. There's plenty more, but here's a start:

Fruity Loops

Drum machines

I heard Akai and Korg machines were pretty nice. Was planning on buying an Akai MIDI  later on

Setting up a store to sell music and merchandise, if you ever go that far:

Bandcamp
https://bandcamp.com/

Streaming your music:

https://artists.spotify.com/
https://vimeo.com/


Done for today. Will make the "Making a fanbase" post and record deal post later
