So you wanna make your own EDM?

     It has come to the mind of every EDM fan I know, and it is natural. We all covet the idea of being the next great DJ getting paid to go to the shows we love, and all the glamour of being the DJ that just walks out and sends the crowd into a frenzy. It is a lot of hard work though to learn, and if you have no musical background it is even more difficult. The basic tools and software to start making EDM are also very expensive. I recommend researching EDM production, and also starting to learn to read music, and researching music theory.

     You should, and should not be. When you start learning music production and have your own DAW(Digital Audio Workshop) you will know what all those buttons and knobs do.

     There is a Youtube series (many infact) that will teach you the basics to music production. This is their first video installment of the series. Watch it see if this interests you, if it does pursue it. Who knows in the next few years you could be the biggest DJ on the scene performing at festivals all over the world.

  1. I've always been fascinated by the technical part of music it's an art form in itself and it goes unnoticed by the majority of people. Thanks for sharing the link it gave me a better understanding on how to get started, I think i might have found myself a new hobby for the summer!

  2. I have lots of friends here at Washburn who do this all the time for fun. Wish I could sit down and play around with this kind of software. I've always envied people who have mastered the art of creating music.

  3. I love this I want to make my own music as a hobby so I have actually been doing a lot of this on the side. Everyone is capable of creating a sound and this is a great way to express yourself.
