Want to learn what it takes to make electronic music?

Hardware equipment: good headphones, ordinary external amplifiers, ordinary MIDI keyboards.

2.Software equipment: host (FL Logic, etc.), enough hard disk space (to install a large number of audio sources in the future).

Focus on breaking through the points that you won't know, you can ask for help through relevant materials or go to the post bar forum. The question of music theory doesn't have to be too tangled. At that time, time did not allow, and I only started to specialize in music theory in the third year of playing electronic **, of course, if I have the ability, I can learn it early.

Before that, you can lay a good foundation for software and arrangement by doing remixes. It is recommended to learn more mixing techniques, otherwise it will be a pity if the best work is not tuned well because of EQ and compression, and it sounds like the mixing effect is not good. For our electronics, the synthesizer is the key and the difficulty, follow the preset first, slowly familiarize yourself with the principle, and it is not too late to study the synthesizer when you can advance.

There are some places where that book is too specialized to be recommended as an introductory textbook. I still recommend that novices follow the forum and ** first, the book can be read slowly, I have seen a good one before, and I will come back to add it after remembering it. <>

I chose the remix class this semester.,The school uses Apple's Pro Tools., I don't have a good memory and poor logic, I said that I really don't learn it.,And I didn't think I needed a strong ** foundation.,I'm really whimsical hahaha.,Get up early in the morning to mix homework.。 There is a 30-day free trial, search for Pro Tools Essential Training, the explanation is very systematic and detailed, but it's in English, but don't worry, there is transcript, so you don't need to test your listening hahaha, you can look up the words, it is recommended that you print the transcript down, mark the steps on it, and save yourself from forgetting to look back and forth**. I haven't studied how to buy Pro Tools software, I only know that it has a Windows version, so you don't have to buy Mac

In addition to Lynda, there are definitely tutorials on YouTube, and the oil pipeline network people are all experts. <>

Only two kinds of software are needed: the recording software Adobe Audition and above, and the electronic music VST plug-in. **Later, the original sound is imported and the adjustment can be turned into an electronic sound.

Electronic music (generally not abbreviated as EM, mostly EDM), referred to as electronic music, electronic music. Broadly speaking, as long as it is created using electronic devices, it can belong to it. Any synthesizers, effects, computer software, drum machines, etc"Musical instruments"The electronic sound produced can reasonably be called electron**.

In a very narrow sense, electronic** refers to genres such as techno and trance. Electronic**, its range is quite wide, movie soundtracks, advertising soundtracks, some pop songs, rock music are often seen, but ordinary people are not easy to find. In China, electronic ** is often said to be DJ**, but this is a wrong name.

Electronic ** and electronic dance music mean the same thing, and there will be more electronic music in China, while electronic dance music is said in the West.

Independent sound card, I use the innovative 0060 sound card. Of course, it's okay to be more advanced than that, and if you want to ensure the sound quality, you have to have a condenser microphone. The sound card can only be had after installing the VST rack after the KX driver, but it has some requirements for the configuration of the computer It is best to have dual-core 2G memory, and it is generally difficult to install a rack at the rookie level, or take a picture from the top of the ** to install the rack is not too expensive Dozens of dollars.

If you don't want to waste it, as long as you have enough time to learn.

Buy a built-in sound card and plug it into the console.

There is no need to practice, they all rely on late repair, and then there is the sound card box.

One of the most commonly used host software for electronic music production is FL Studio, which is used by many well-known electronic music producers in China; Ableton Live is also a good electronic music production host; In addition, we can also use cubase, logic pro, etc.

Used by a relatively large number of people. It's a fruit machine.

For many people, the sound is an abstract thing, but it's not entirely true, and when writing a song, you rack your brains to think about the motive, want the listener to want the depth and resonance, and end up with a blank slate.

It's better to take it easy once in a while and observe the things around you carefully, behind these seemingly figurative and random arrangements, there are some unexpected surprises, and even your mobile phone number can be one of the inspirations**.

On the eve of the vox soundman class, in order to present the course in the form of board books, demonstrations, and experiments, the all-round lecturer Lao Qin began to make teaching aids without sleep, and filmed Xiao ** to record all the production process.

After reading it, let's familiarize ourselves with the random melody development used in **, first of all, the number 1234 in the mobile phone number....Use them with do re mi fa....In addition, numbers over 7 are replaced by octaves higher, for example, 8 is the treble do, and 0 is rest, so there are do mi do xi do so re mi so fa, which basically runs through the whole piece.

For this BGM, Lao Qin said this:

The first time I did electronic**,I don't know which style of electronic music this ** belongs to.,There are a lot of inappropriate places.,Didn't use too advanced electronic music tricks.,Didn't use too complicated**means.,First come out as BGM.,Please also ask the electronic music big guys in the rivers and lakes to give a lot of advice.,You can leave a message.。 ”

If you are interested, you can also write songs in this way.

First of all, you need to master the most basic things: ** basics, acoustic basics, electrical basics, signal fundamentals. Without any of them, it is impossible to complete the electronic ** production independently.

In the process of learning the above basics, you can use a whole set of arranging software that specializes in making dance music, fruit or live, reason and the like, look at the manual, learn the basic operations and do it, and first work hard to complete a thing that is more than three minutes long like a song.

Requirements: You need a motivation, the necessary software (DAW: ProTools, CuBase, Live, etc.), as well as hardware (computer, audio interface, MIDI keyboard controller, etc.), and the original music material (most importantly).

You can also go directly to the official production of a complete **, and learn how to make three items: mix, remix, and mashup. Mix: Skewering, very common, many CD car discs, DJ dance music**, etc., often have some dozens of minutes or even one or two hours of skewering tracks, skewering is to connect many ** in a certain way, and there is generally no beginning or end of a certain track halfway, because these ** have to be added and produced, and a transition method is added at the beginning or end of the track to connect it with the next track, so that you don't know when you suddenly find that the song has been cut.

Then you will find that although you have made something like a tune, it is not very good. In order to make it sound good, you will naturally look for ways to improve it - then you will start to unconsciously take the initiative to learn music theory and acoustic theory, and every little bit of what you learn will not make you feel difficult or boring, because every bit of it is something you need urgently, you can use immediately, and it will make your work immediately beneficial. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Later, if you are really composing material, you will find that the theoretical knowledge you have learned before is not systematic enough, and it is not efficient enough to use, so you will happily pick up the theory book and pick it from beginning to end. Because you have gone through a lot of practice before, you go to pick out books with questions, and many things that seem to be understood before are clarified one by one, and the fields that you used to think are irrelevant are gradually connected. You will often be pleasantly surprised and delighted.

At the same time, you will think about why your own music is not as good as the master's from a conceptual point of view, and then you will frantically look for tunes to listen to the imitation of the composition, eat and walk thinking about all kinds of rhythms and timbres, and hear the sound of piling on the construction site and think about how to make this part into a loop. Originally, you must have subtitles when you watch American dramas, but in order to understand the ins and outs of a style, you will go to English materials and spend money to find various related ** on the wall. If your English wasn't very good before, you'll find that composing music has helped you up at this stage - congratulations on getting started.
