Aspiring DJs typically take a couple of months to soak in all the information and skills necessary in creating a stable music production foundation. Over time, they sharpen their skills and develop their own sound.
Before splurging on a DAW, remember that other equipment pieces are needed to produce music, such as a pair of headphones or in-ear monitors and a MIDI keyboard. A decent pair of headphones allows the DJ to hear music with clarity and precision. A MIDI keyboard helps one experiment and learn more about their preferred style of electronic music. Getting the hang of things makes way for one to improve their craft, mentions James Haidak.
Along the way, an aspiring electronic music producer may find that an understanding of the basics, such as music theory, mixing, and structure and arrangement, is essential in producing quality music. While many successful producers are not fluent in the fundamentals of music, brushing up on these can make a huge difference in one’s sound and the way they produce their tracks.
