Get equipment and start.

We will not complicate, delving into the system requirements of hardware capacities. In addition, there is a lot of information on the Internet about choosing a sound card. We will only say that if you do not have the oldest laptop or computer, then it’s perfect for a start. Naturally, the Windows operating system is already installed on your PC, it is desirable that it be at least version 7. Of course, you can create masterpieces on other OS of the family, here everyone will choose for himself. After making sure that you have a suitable computer, you should install a special sequencer program, which will be the main software tool for creating music.

Make an arrangement

Arranging on a computer is very different from arranging for a live orchestra. And if, when creating a musical arrangement for an orchestra, a piece of music will sound good, then it is not a fact that the same arrangement will sound on virtual instruments. In any case, computer arrangement has more technical and musical capabilities. A computer allows you to make not only high-quality arrangements, write phonograms, minuses, but also everything that your creative imagination can allow. In general, probably the most important and important thing in writing music is to learn how to analyze music. Learn to listen to the sound of each instrument by analyzing how many instruments are played in a given play, what timbre each has, what function each instrument performs, etc. The next important question is knowledge of harmony, knowledge of the various chord arrangements, the ability to re-harmonize the melodic line, compose, change the position of the chords. And at the end, the arranger must be versed in various musical directions and styles. But not everything is as complicated and scary as it may seem, and let the musical terms not scare you. The fact is that not all people with a musical education own all of the above. Therefore, the most important thing for us so far is the ability to analyze music, patience and perseverance.

Every great song has a catchy text.

Words are inextricably linked with the melody - through it they go straight to the listener's brain. It's not about writing lyrics with a deep philosophical meaning: just one really good line or phrase that people will remember is enough. Combining a decent text with a bright melody you will ensure memorability of your song.

Music marketing and promotion.

The ability to distribute your compositions as summing up all the above steps in the activities of a musician.

Not quite, but partially an optional step, no matter which way you go the label or self-promotion, you need to be heard, or serious labels and then listeners, or immediately your audience of listeners. Here, the most important thing today is to lead your social services. networks, and write and write unique music in your own style, because nowhere except on the Internet will you be noticed and you will be noticed only if you are unique.

You need to learn this, but understand that first you need to master all of the above, music and content is the main and paramount, marketing details will come later much later, just what you need to do now is to create and arrange your social networks and constantly replenish them with work, not what it’s scary that they are still “not very”, criticism will make you better, but better it’s always better!
