Latest TopicsenViolating the "Repeat" Button xDhttps://stakecommunity.com/topic/4701-violating-the-repeat-button-xd/ Music is life, as we all know ♥ and I'm posting my current obsession because I tend to do this a lot - find a song that I like and end up hooked up on, violate the repeat button, learn it by heart (like - where the performer breathes), and all until I grow sick of it :D  

Post your obsessions below, but only the once you can listen on repeat all day long! :$

Lets go over a few of the common terms used with music production and discuss the composition styles associated to different genres. I know there probably won't be many who are interested in this particular field, but perhaps the few who are can work together to share useful information, and help others get started.

 

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

When it comes to modern day music production, most producers no longer need an entire workstation, full of high end synths and other hardware devices to compose music. The modern era is fortunate enough to have all of the old school technology bundled in easy to use music production software, also referred to as DAW's.

The most common DAW's on the market currently are (by market share):

  • Ableton – 27%
  • FL Studio – 21%
  • Studio One – 18%
  • Reaper – 13%
  • Logic Pro – 12%

These tools are the foundations of getting you started with music production. I have used both FL Studio and Ableton over the last few years, with my favourite being Ableton due to its slick design and professional live session support. There are free trials available and torrents for those who are interested in getting started and can't afford to pay the hefty price for the software.

Have you dabbled with music production? What DAW have you used? Which do you prefer?
