INTRODUCTION
W elcome to Music Production for Beginners 2022 Edition! You may have been trying to find a way to take your artistic passions and turn them into a complete project you can release to the public, either as a hobby or as a prospective way of putting food on the table. This book will serve to walk you through not only the basics of music production but also how to get your music released on reputable platforms. You will learn things like how to make your music available to the masses as well.
Even for those with artistic talent who havent received any formal training; this book starts right out the gate by filling in the gaps you may have in your knowledge, like industry-related jargon, sheet music reading, and even a few scales to practice helping teach you the basics of music theory.
Music is more than just an art form, its also a discipline. If you hope to be successful at bending that artform to fill your pocketbook, you will need to practice discipline. You will also have to practice, practice, and yes, you will then have to practice, practice and practice. This cliche has been a cliche for a very long time despite its lack of originality, but if anything, that just serves to underline the truth it presents; the only way to grow as a musician is to push your limits. If you want to be successful in the music industry, you need to focus on the music and let it move through you, you need to take the time to know your music on an intimate level and find something transcendent about yourself that you can use as the building blocks of your artistic project. Once you have done this, you are ready to start down the road of professional music recording and production.
This book is a great tool for anyone with budget limitations, with tons of tips and tricks for minimizing production costs and even how to do things yourself that can easily save you thousands of dollars with practice. If youre new to music and want to learn how to record and produce music this is a great tool too! Even for younger artists, this can be a launchpad for you to explore your creativity. There may be a few words you need to ask an adult what they mean, or with adult supervision only, the internet can be a great place to find answers for the questions this book may raise for you.
A great way to cut costs on your music production is to learn how to engineer your own music. This book will explain some of the basics of music production and give you a platform to build off. If you know how to engineer your own tracks you dont have to pay for an audio engineer to record your session, which can be worth it, but quite costly! Youll also learn some of the most cost-efficient ways to set up your own recording space which saves even more money on not having to book studio time which can be inflexible and extremely costly over long periods of time.
There are hundreds of YouTube tutorials and online music schools that promise to teach you how to play or produce music. Without any direction, these platforms can make it difficult for beginners to create a solid basis of information to learn on. This book will help give you some direction in what you should focus on first with music, and then with production and other considerations for people looking to immerse themselves in the music industry. Using the knowledge from this book you can use YouTube and other online resources to fill any gaps and maybe you will see that you were approaching one idea or another from the wrong angle, and a shift of mentality can do wonders for your learning.
Even on days when you are busy, repetition and practice are incredibly important. Whether you do nothing but run scales absent-mindedly in front of the tv while dinner cooks, or write a verse every night before bed, make sure you are flexing those creative muscles every day. Not everything you create will be perfect, good, or even what you would consider music or art. However, art is subjective, and many of the most popular works of art were never even appreciated before the artist discarded them or packed them away to be found by someone else long after their death. It doesnt even matter if you make bad music every once in a while, as long as its putting you on the path to something fulfilling and meaningful.
By taking the initiative to explore the wide world that is the creative industry, you are taking the first steps toward producing and releasing your own musical projects. The path ahead of you is long, and there will be challenges and things that you struggle with. If you can manage to persevere you will come out the other side of this experience with a whole host of marketable skills that you can employ in your own music. This book contains a vast amount of information across a broad range of topics; take your time and take it in at your own pace. No matter the speed you progress with though, always make sure you are reinforcing your learning and experience with repetition.
Good luck!
