Absolutely! You can do it all with FL Studio! I'm glad to hear it's working well for you!

Probably shouldn't admit that on here.

@@johnsuggs7828 lol, what's past is past

Yo how did you pirate it ? I can’t find how on KZfaq

Omg FL was my first one too....pirated and in high school maybe early 2000s haha I had no idea what the heck I was doing though haha

Thanks for the kind words! Best of luck on your music making journey!

Glad it helped! What DAW made the most sense for you?

@@Music-By-Mattie was logic till I lost my laptop in a luggage coming back to Philly 🥲

@@neotv4K oh dang! I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you can get back to making music again soon!

@@Music-By-Mattie this weekend getting a new laptop so… hopefully fingers crossed lol get back into cooking things up yea so … but thx u boss

If you're using GarageBand, then it makes better sense from a workflow standpoint to move to Logic. It's an industry standard in terms of many pros use it. Reaper will get you more about the same thing for less, but it doesn't have the same historical pedigree as Logic.

Did u try any other daw

What didn't you understand? The english orrrrr

Any of those will work for you to learn! I'd say just hop in and start cooking up some music! My personal favorite for electronic is Ableton, but it's less about the DAW and more about getting started!

fl buddy

Cakewalk. Or any of the free ones. Ableton Live Lite comes with a lot of gear she'll probably need to buy. So she'll get it that way. Both are very capable systems. Both free. Cakewalk may not be available for upgrades on their free version but it's very good. used it for years

Thanks man!

Imo, the easiest and most user friendly to use if you’re recording vocals would be Logic!

And yeah, when I say they all have a high learning curve to master, I mean they all take a while to learn, especially all of their intricacies. If you already know the concepts of music production, that can make things easier, but there are a lot of moving parts to learn and understand and ultimately master when it comes to these programs!

Depends on what you plan on doing! My favorite DAW for live performance is Ableton

Thanks I'm just looking to get a great streaming sound that helps our congregation feel like they are at church

Perfect! I think Ableton would work well! Logic might also work! And it's a bit more user friendly! But for live stuff, Ableton is my go to!@@drej14

Thanks how would you compare Ableton to StudioOne for my needs?

Garageband. But it’s really limited if you couldn’t play an instrument and want to produce a complete track in the daw. To be honest, the only good way is to try the free versions to test it out and then buy it! If you really want to get into producing music that doesn’t sound like absolute trash, then you Simply have to put a few hundred dollars into a good DAW! There are no really good Free DAW‘s. They don’t have a lot of sounds and the sounds, plugins, instruments etc. that they have are garbage. And because you‘re a beginner without knowledge, it’s even worse because they don’t have good user interfaces and are complicated to begin with plus there aren’t a lot of tutorials and overall helpings out there… To really start with music production is expensive at first. You need at least a good DAW and a midi keyboard which will cost you a few hundred bucks. If you want to record your voice or use instruments, you have to also buy a good microphone and you have to buy a audio interface which is expensive too. And that’s really only to begin with. What makes you to produce good songs besides experience is that you have good plugins, good software/hardware instruments and good sounds! And for everything of that you have to pay again! That will cost you really fast another hundreds or thousands of dollars. I produce with logic pro and like he said in this video, logic has the most good sounds and instruments out of the box and even then i needed to buy lots of plugins and sounds after a few months. But to begin with, simply buy a midi keyboard and the DAW that you like. As a beginner i would highly recommend you to buy logic pro if you have an mac because the interface and DAW overall is the most beginner friendly in my opinion. The problem is, if you learn a specific free DAW and then want to switch to a good DAW, you have to learn how to use the program again. I would recommend you to test the DAW’s out or watch a lot of videos and then buy one and stick with it! If you learned how to produce music and it sounds like trash, then it’s not the fault of the DAW. You could produce Banger with every good DAW. Music production is a really really Expensive hobby which needs lots of effort to learn the DAW as well as music theory and at least learn a little bit how to play Keyboard. If you don’t want to spend money in producing music, you don’t even have to start with it because you simply will not getting good songs out of it! Simply forget free DAW‘s, spent a few hundred bucks or you wouldn’t get happy… That’s not meant to be mean, it’s simply the hard reality… 😐

It can be a hefty investment for sure! Don't stray away from those free trials though! Ableton has a great one that lasts 90 days! (The last time I checked!) FL Studio's is a bit limited, but at least you'd start to get familiar with the work flow!

@@Music-By-Mattie it’s Cus I’m also saving for the quest 3

Studio One is okay, but a yearly subscription makes it tough to root for! There are a lot more powerful and more used DAW's out there that will cost you less in the long term! I think as long you're not completely familiar with a Studio One workflow, then switching might be a good call!

subscriptions are ALWAYS bad

Cubase didn't make the top five for me! 🤷‍♂️ It's still a great DAW!

Read the title of Matts Video - it's not for Beginners ;)...

Lol my bad!

All DAW's have a steep learning curve. Music production has a lot of moving parts and a lot to learn! Even though the first three are true, that doesn't mean it won't take a lot of time to get comfortable producing music!

@@Music-By-Mattie Ok! Thanks!

It's try before you buy, on purpose

Yeah, sure, FL Studio, Ableton and Reaper are definitely Apple products 👍

Haha this ⬆️

u obviously didnt watch the video when he said most of these were also for windows lmao

And why is Apple shit?! I learned computers intuitive with no teacher in the 90s with Macs and it was a fantastic easy entry into it. Then I changed later to PCs, and this was first a downfall ;) My brother is musician and producer and he swears, Apple is much more stable and faster in all than Windows. Never problems with drivers or incompatibilities.
