Brief Introduction

Produce your own music with virtual instruments in LMMS (free, easy-to-use production software) regardless of experience

Description

Do you have an interest in creating music, but aren't quite sure where to start? Maybe you're working on a promo video, and you need a backing track. Or maybe you're a game developer and need some background music. In any scenario, creating your own songs when you don't have the experience can be a difficult task - and this course aims to solve this problem.

Whether you are musically gifted or have never touched an instrument in your life, the process to creating music through a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is the same. You just need to know the steps to get started. For anyone starting out with music production, LMMS is the perfect tool to bring your ideas to life. LMMS is a free and very easy-to-learn DAW that has a long history of introducing newcomers to music production, while at the same time providing all the tools that any professional musician would need.

This course is organized in way that gradually introduces you to new concepts of music production. We start off by installing and setting up LMMS, and move on to discuss in detail each of the main interfaces that the program allows us to use, including:

  • Song Editor

  • Piano Roll

  • Beat + Bassline Editor

  • FX-Mixer

  • Automation Tracks

  • Controllers

After you are comfortable with using LMMS, we will move on to creating an original song from scratch. Producing this track will tie everything together, giving you a better understanding of how each of these components fit into the music-writing process.

You do not need any musical background, and you do not need any production experience. We will discuss everything needed to get you started with creating your own songs. In addition to the topics listed above, this includes:

  • Basic music theory

  • Chord structure

  • Creating chord progressions

  • Importing third-party virtual instruments (VSTs)

  • Creating percussion/drum beats

  • Writing a melody

  • Basic mixing and effects

After completing the course, you will have all the knowledge and experience you need to start working on projects of your own. With just a few hours of work and a little practice, nothing will stop you from creating any song you want!
