Produce electronic music

“I got into making electronic music because I found a lot of reviews on synthesizers and other electronic gear on YouTube and somehow got hooked to that. I'm still amazed by all the possibilities you have to create all those different sounds. I saw that you don't have to be a trained musician to make some nice sounds and one day, I ordered my first analog synth and enjoyed playing around with it immensely! I just created sounds for hours and hours and it was great. [...] I learned all the ins and outs of music production, recording, working with the synthesizers, connecting all the gear and making them talk together (I took the DAWless route, because it's fun). Most of it never felt like learning but like playing around and all the different parts fell into place over time.”

“Ive been producing electronic music for just under 5 years and before that was playing lead guitar for about 12 years (i still play but its not my main focus). I thought i would get electronic music quickly because of my background and i could not have been more wrong lol. understanding the basics of music theory and song structure did help tremendously, but before even getting to the point where i was applying those, i needed to grasp the fundamentals of music production (how synthesizers work, how a DAW operates, wtf a compressor actually does, stereo imaging, gain staging, EQing, sound physics/acoustics etc.) You learn all of these things almost separately from each other and then the dots will start to connect as to how everything works together.”
