Also it is incredibly easy to map playing the piano onto playing other instruments, especially guitar. This also puts you in good stead for arranging on a computer because you can just get one of those keyboard input devices for playing rough stuff in. You've then essentially got the knowledge and ability to play most parts of an arrangement on the same instrument at the same time. I don't know how skilled you are with music theory or the piano but I believe learning music theory through learning to play the piano is a pretty solid route to getting good at arranging. Everything I have done is amateur (although I did do the terrible old theme tune for the mindcrack podcast before I fell out with them) so don't trust me basically.

I am totally open to any kind of recommendations, tips or whatever you might have to offer.įull disclosure: I learned to play the piano first, then guitar, then anything i could bring myself to spend money on.

I would rather not get too much into the details of the project, but feel free to ask any questions. Mind you, since this is a personal thing, I don't have a deadline, and I've got tons of free time that I can devote to studying and learning (though, as I mentioned, I tend to lose interest whenever I feel I'm taking too long to progress).

I need tips or guidelines What should I learn? Do I need to study music theory to make arrangements, or can I compose/play by ear? Would learning the guitar be useful? Would studying other topics help? Which approach should I take to learn music production? Do you have any series of videos/lessons that you would recommend? Also, if any of you have used FL Studio before, can you recommend me any good tutorial series?

I am a really fast learner, and most of what I've found were music lessons which were either focused on teaching children or at a really slow pace for me, resulting in loss of interest. So, in the past few days I've been searching around YouTube for lessons and tutorials so I can start making arrangements on FL Studio. I know the basics, but am totally clueless about using plugins or from where to get samples. I've got FL Studio 10 during the second semester of 2013, but haven't messed too much with it. I plan on buying a keyboard soon, but am kinda short on money at the moment, so that will wait a few months. I've never really tried to play any of them.

I've got 2 guitars - an acoustic and a classical. Don't ask why or how, but I've got myself engaged in a personal project that mainly involves music production, and need the help of the more savvy people around here.įirst, where I am starting from: Although I listen to *a lot* of music (I'm not overestimating myself here, trust me) and am quite capable of identifying different instruments, effects and whatnot on pieces of various genders, I totally understand that doesn't help much the fact that I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to playing or composing.
