Wanted to make beats with no musical experience and found AT. I didn't even try to follow tutorials or guides on how certain presets work. I lwk just winged it until I reached the point I'm at now. I simply watched and studied other artists and tried to recreate with less experience.
When I started, all I had in terms of music experience was messing around in some Magix music software, which was a lot more limited and barebones than this. If you've watched Vinesauce Joel mess with EJay, it was akin to that.
That was fun for a bit, but then a few years later, I got into Monstercat, and I was enthralled by all the unique sounds people had, and decided I wanted a piece of that pie. Discovered Audiotool, made some absolutely unlistenable garbage, and now I'm here nearly 11 years later, making slightly more polished garbage, but garbage I can be proud of. At least, when I actually feel like it.
I was playing some online car game and I accidentally pressed the magnifying glass button on my school computer and audiotool was there so I clicked it n thats how I found it but then they blocked it after that so I had to get my own computer 🥀
I started about a week ago. I've already made 6 bangers and honestly I'm really proud of myself, also when I say a week ago that's what it feels like since time is going by fast
I started on this site almost 13 years ago with abeolutely no experience. Its a good gateway to get your feet wet into the music producing pool. Learn as much as you can and be willing to change what you've learned in the past when you find better methods of producing. Also, don't forget to have fun and discover your own identity while creating music.
Learn basic theory (maybe get an instrument that isn't too difficult to figure out: piano, guitar.. harp?) while you're at it if you can. If you wish to start producing on a computer also try to get the hang of a DAW (just experiment and play around!) but don't think too much about it, even if you're locked in it may take a few months or 1-2 years to "get good". I'm also a beginner
I'm literally just getting started trying to do EDM, but tbh all of this stuff confuses me lol
