Get started making music
This is some good coverage of the music theory behind songwriting, which is important in making songs that sound good.<p>However, there&#x27;s another part of making music which is not covered at all here, which is the actual engineering of sounds. Think of a sound in your head and recreate it digitally—it&#x27;ll involve sampling and synthesizing, there&#x27;s tons of filters and sound manipulation to go through, they all go by different names and have different purposes—it&#x27;s a staggering amount of arcane knowledge.<p>Where is the learning material on how to do this without experimenting endlessly or looking up everything you see? I want a reverse dictionary of sorts, where I hear a transformation of a sound and I learn what processing it took to get there in a DAW. This would be incredibly useful to learn from.
