Creating Music in 2023!!

Creating music in 2023 is much more easily accessible than what one would imagine in late 80s’/90s’. Yes, you can start creating your own music at home with just your laptop and a tiny pair of headphones. If you’re ambitious to become a music producer and don’t know how to start, this is for you.

Back in time big machines like an audio mixer and big rooms would come up to people’s minds when thinking of creating songs. Those things still exist and have their own value in the industry. But not everyone can afford them, and technology has changed the sound world. So, if you’re someone who wants to create music, you just need following things:

 

THINGS YOU NEED

 

• LAPTOP: You need a computer. It will be used to run your music making software, technically called DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

 

• DAW: Now, if you start looking for DAW, you will find number of options like FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and so on. They are all professional and have their own fanbases among music producers’ community. Fl studio and Ableton live are good options for those who are more into Electronic Music. But if you’re someone who likes recording live music, then may be try Logic Pro, Pro Tools or Studio One.

 

• OUTPUT DEVICES: A pair of Headphones or Studio Monitors (Loudspeakers) are sound monitoring devices and would be required to hear what you’re making. You can check this website to know more about affordable ones.

 

• MICROPHONE: If you’re a vocal performer, you might want to record yourself. A device used to record your vocals or an acoustic instrument into your computer is called Microphone. It basically converts the sound into an electric signal. Check out some good quality microphones for beginners here.

 

Now, one last important thing that you need to make your DAW, Microphone and Studio Monitors work together is Audio Interface.

AUDIO INTERFACE

An Audio Interface is a device which helps your computer to recognize the signals that we want to record or hear through our loudspeakers. Basically, this is an I/O device, connected to your computer and run through your DAW. Check affordable ones here.

 

Well, that’s all you need to start making your own music.
