    the 3 MV I asked has everything that to do with what you originally asked. Roughly it's to measure where your taste meter at, linking it to your age and location. You'll start to get better response on this thread with it. You don't want to listen to advice from a 60yo classical music enthusiast about a modern hiphop a 17yo listens to today. Something like that.

    just play. start with presets and play with the knobs and listen to how they effect the signal, move the LFO so you can see what basic google shit is saying

    "Low-frequency oscillation (LFO) is an electronic frequency that is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep. This is used to modulate musical equipment such as synthesizers to create audio effects such as vibrato, tremolo and phasing.[1]"

    thats exactly what it is, you can only understand that by playing with it

    Update/Edit your original post, add your favourite music you'd wish to make or something by listing them. Just paste the youtube links.

    Here's the link.

    Others will have better idea to give you more informed suggestions. People like me that not really associated with that type of music, will not misguide you.

    It seems to me that before you do anything, you need to train your ears. Listen to one song you want to do. Really listen. Break down every sound you can hear. Even write it down. Analyse. Until you can pull a song apart, you can't reconstruct one.

    "hello i want to be a producer with no prior music experience"

    Sure! Why not? When you think about it, the title describes just about every hip-hop "artist" in the world.

    the "no experience" moniker still applies.

    This is the best advice. You could spend hours watching tutorials and learning theory but a lot of that stuff you'll forget about in a month.

    You said you want to remix, so grab some stems/multitracks and get to it.

    When you get stuck, ask questions. Until then the best way to learn is to make mistakes.

    Not sure if you're a NIN fan but http://nindestruct.com/ has a lot of legal multitracks you can mess around with. Ghosts has been sampled/remixed by tons of artists from all genres.

    Maybe watch a tutorial about setting up a track template in Ableton or whatever DAW you said you're using, how to do the very basics, how to use Ableton's sampler, then find a sample pack or two that you can use to inject your own flavor and make some noise.

    the true question here is:

    ONCE upon a time being "a producer" was the LAST STEP of a music carrer, or I should say of a music life: you studied an instrument, piano, guitar, drums, you studied literature and tried to wrote songs, you started working in a band and started to understand the basics of pop arrangements, you listened to MILLIONS OF HOURS of music in different genres. Then started to learn mixing, recording and audio theory. All of these studies were accomplished usually in specific schools, private teachers or with personal experience. Then, after many many years, it happened you produced earth wind and fire, or michael jackson madonna or whatever

    NOWADAYS how the F people think to became a producer "as a starting point"?

    there's a problem in the chain lol or maybe the word "producer" has changed A LOT its meaning

    That's my contribution to our young boy, wish you all the best!

    it has changed; but its also stayed the same. producers have always been the people in the industry who are regarded as having good taste; based on the success of the works theyve been apart of. like Rick Ruben doesnt actually have any musical abilities, other then his taste, which yeah, comes from listening too a lot of music; across a lot of genres and decades for a lot of hours lol

    in electronic based genres, the term is different; because originally, people were doing that like Rick Rubin, but they werent songwriting or composing tracks by playing instruments like Phil Spector. they were sampling pre recorded sounds from different sources and putting them together, to either spin at a club, or have an MC rhyme over. since electronic genres are leading music, as a reflection of our more electronic leaning society. you hear the electronic use of the term more - though in the industry people still produce records traditionally, or just make the music and sell it to an artist to write and perform over, or are a hybrid of both. so the term expanded

    Also, if you casually want to learn music and have questions, you can just ask an AI bot questions. I ask them questions daily, often enough about music theory. They're there to answer you 30 times a day when you have any questions.

    Nothing matters more than actually doing what you set out to do.

    If you wanted to become a porn star you would need to at least need to know what bits go where and what they do and some practice in having your bits do an acceptable service.

    Music production is no different, you are not going to get better at it by talking about it, reading about it or watching videos of other people doing it.
