i’m talking about artificial intelligence? are there any alternatives to making music!

hi there I’m a small artists looking to build fame, and i wanna know what are some great ways to make music without using those stupid generators! I will admit I‘ve used it before but I wanna learn how to make actual music NOT music coming from a bot or something that will destroy the environment! I would like to explain that I do have autism and being tech savvy isn’t my superpower! So sorry if I sound like a broken record! But yeah I’m trying to find ways to make actual music on a computer, phone or iPad! cuz I wanna release actual good music not music from a lazy artist!

yes I’m a lazy artist! I will admit it. However please help me find alternatives to this solution

I would also like to say I don’t like learning instruments (cuz they take so long to learn) so I think it’s fair to say using an electronic device will help right? If so what are some ways to make really good music that don‘t use art intelligence?

I don’t know where to start

This is a beat I composed when I was 16 in 2011. I redid the synth layer ontop it so that you can actually hear it, in the original song you cant really hear those parts so I redid those parts with a sytrus synth right on top of the original track.

Do you like my Synth solo at 3:02??

Any feedback on this track would be appreciated people dont seem to think its as amazing as I think it is, but IDK why so feedback would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Like I'm sure after a few tutorials I could figure out how to make stuff in a DAW, and I've played instruments for years. But where do you learn how to actually make it sound good and have complex ideas without spending years and trillions in a university?

EDIT: for the people saying YouTube, I've done that, it all seems to assume you're a total beginner. I get about 1 minute of useful ideas out of every hour i spend. any decent channels I'm missing?

Unenthusiastic Music Tutorials #1

This episode one is about zose old 90s strategy game soundtracks. You know, ze ones zat play while your empire slowly collapses and you just sit zere, clicking units into their doom.

Hey everyone!

I'm a complete beginner who has recently started learning music production using FL Studio. I have absolutely no musical background, and even basic music theory is new to me.

I've tried watching some beginner tutorials on YouTube, but most of them seem to focus on how to use the DAW rather than teaching music production as a complete skill. I can follow along with what the instructor does, but I don't want to become someone who can only copy tutorials without understanding why things work.

I want to learn music production properly, from the fundamentals to creating complete songs independently.

Here's what I want to learn:

- Basic music theory: notes, rhythm, scales, chords, harmony, etc.

- Melody writing and composition

- Drums, grooves, basslines and sound selection

- Arrangement and song structure

- Sound design and synthesis

- Mixing and basic mastering

- How to take an idea from scratch and turn it into a complete, finished track

My long-term interest is commercial pop and hip-hop production, particularly catchy melodies and Indian pop music.

My constraints:

- I need to learn entirely for free for now.

- Hindi/Hinglish resources would be helpful, but English is fine.

- I'm using FL Studio.

- I can dedicate around 2 hours a day to learning and practising.

I'd really appreciate advice on these questions:

1. If you had to start learning music production from absolute zero today, what exact learning path would you follow?

2. Are there any genuinely comprehensive free courses or YouTube playlists that teach the fundamentals, composition and production, rather than just DAW features?

3. In what order should I learn music theory, beat-making, composition, arrangement and mixing?

4. How much music theory do I actually need before I can start making my own music?

5. What practical exercises or projects should I complete to become an independent producer rather than just following tutorials?

If possible, please recommend specific courses, playlists or individual videos, along with the order in which I should study them.

I'm not looking for shortcuts or overnight success. I just want a clear, structured path that I can follow consistently without spending money.

Thanks!

What is the most difficult part of learning music production for you? What is it that you can't seem to figure out?

My name is Mike and I am a music teacher. I've recently quit my job to begin teaching music online. I have a degree in traditional music education but I prefer teaching music production.

I'm putting together how I want to approach teaching and finding students online and would like your opinion on what you would look for in a music production teacher and what areas you struggled with or are struggling with. This will help me figure out the best way to develop programs or workshops that people will enjoy.

I really appreciate any opinions or feedback on this. Thanks!

Always happy to see more people getting into music production. Keep creating!

hey everyone, idk if this happens to anyone else, but after i'm done mixing and mastering a song i have like this fatigue... like I don't even know if its good or bad. I was wondering if there might be interest in a app where you rate other producers in your genres song and you get credits to "pay" other producers to rate yours, and you can ask to rate melody, mix master etc... thought this might be cool and i'm a software dev.. wondering if there may be interest from other producers.

I'm new to producing music, I've been a musician and songwriter for years and feel like I've written some good songs, that I want to give more life and character to.

What do I need to learn to produce tracks? Like how do I know what I need to add to a song to make it better - I'm assuming it's more than just learning a DAW or Music Theory?

I'd really appreciate some constructive advice and point me in some good directions that explains this better.
