In 12 Days, I went from someone who didn't know a thing about production, to having a full track produced by myself! Learning how to use Ableton and how to produce has probably been the most fun I've had and I can't wait to share it all with you!

If you’re reading this, HI!!! Thanks so much for swinging by and watching me go through the process! Obviously I’m a complete beginner and still have so much to learn. Who else is learning how to produce here? 👀🎛
Meeee!!😭. It's a hard process but I'm pushing forward 💘
Me!! I’m actually taking this course rn! 🧡
@@breannemoreno OMG NO WAY!!! THAT'S SO COOL! ROOTING FOR YOU BREANNE!
@@t.o.p.e_music ahah it really is! you got this!!
I just started learning about a month ago lol. In fact I recently released my first song!
As a producer and classical pianist of 13 years, my best advice is try to learn everything you can about creating music, but almost more importantly, learn what music means to people, and has meant to people in the past.
This !!!
how would you suggest learning "what music means to people"? Legit question, I'd love to dig deeper but I don't even know how to start seeking ahah
Beautiful words
@@junelvl6703 thanks, I tried to answer the other question but the uploader kept deleting my comment.
@@gabrielestrada6165 my advice is listen to the critics people have about the current state of music. Especially when it comes to conversations about a particular genre. Even if you disagree with what they are saying, it's important to hear everyone's respective on how they feel about the state if music now, how they feel about this artist, what they actually feel about this song and what they like and dislike about it. For example alot of people hate how short music is and how bridges aren't created in alot of songs. Another Example is "in RnB, I know alot of people missed the fact that there aren't any story telling anymore in the music".
That's just two examples I've got reading comments section. So that's how!
Yessss the producing journey is definitely a wild ride but it's a lot of fun!! My advice would be for every track you get stuck on start with a new one and come back to it later. The best part of producing is you can always repurpose or come back with a clear head after time passes. When I used to produce, I would set a goal on one specific piece whether it be melody, drums etc I wanted done. After I did that, I would break and either start a new beat or just walk away all together.
omg thanks so much for the advice! I’ll definitely have to try moving on and starting new tracks! I tend to get stuck and then not go anywhere. I’ll keep all this in mind!
If i spent the time necessary on every song getting it to sound like it does in my head, id never have a song complete.
This great advice. Thank you so much for sharing!
You crying in the first 3 minutes was so comforting because literally YES "I haven't done any school in years" thank you for being so vulnerable to share that moment with us because I feel the same way trying to get into a Sonic Arts program and eventually pursuing a masters degree (Also I watched your video specifically bc literally the algorithm is always shoving stright white music bros down my throat and I'm like "plz no. Can i watch a video from literally ANYONE else for once" so thank you in general for doing what you do)
As a music producer that's been making stuff for a year, you did a really good job! The song was hella' groovy and as for someone who learned producing in 12 days I could say that's really REALLY good. I've had a hard time starting, but as time goes by and if your consistency on making beats are stable, that's where you get your momentum and of course, you must not lose that momentum as if you lose it, you lose motivation, progress will pause and you'll be stuck.
This video made me lowkey cry. I love how you share everything with your followers with absolutely NO gatekeeping. It shows how humble you are. Love you Annie.
Heyy Annie, first of all I love that you Put in the whole process, my advice as a producer and a mix engineer. if you ever feel you don't know what to add, get on the mic and humm melodies and stuff and you can EQ them to be not totally present and put them way back in the mix as a texture for ur beat.
all love and respect from Saudi.
Plus you can layer your melody at some parts with different instruments to make them sound cohesive at any time u need that in a song.
WOW this is actually amazing advice. I’m going to use this from now on whenever i feel stuck. You’re awesome, THANK YOU!
Not going to lie, for your first time it's actually very VERY good. If you heard my first track, you'd laugh your stomach out. And you're completely right music production takes a lot of getting used to, but since you have your amazing boyfriend and the course to help you, you have nothing to worry about. Especially after making what you just made.Much love and happy learning. PEACE!!!
I've been producing on FL Studio since I was 14. I'm 26 now, but I've also been in a huge rut for an embarrassing amount of time. Videos like this inspire me to keep trying.
just keep tryin
Jesus loves you bro and he wants to help you with your career in music
I've been wanting to get into producing for a while but I've been slowly learning the ropes after my day job the past month. It was really inspiring and motivating seeing you produce a song in 12 days!!
Tbh.
DO IT. Ive been producing for over 3 years now. When you get into its actually really easy. Just remember that its important bot to compare ur art to others that have been working in the music industry for years.
Hi Annie, I'm glad you decided to invest time in this beautiful art. Ableton Live, at first, is quite a challenge but with the passage of time you will see that you will be able to understand it and, looking back, you will see that it was worth it. :)
Kind regards from a producer from Argentina!
thank you for all the encouraging words!! i really appreciate all the support and love 🧡🫶🏼
Your story telling is so good!! Thank you for making this video and encouraging other people to start producing. Honestly is such a handy skill to have and you showed that literally anyone can pick it up. Also those drums sound buSsin 🤩 loved the track
HAHA thank you!!! i’m glad you enjoyed it!
Producing is just the tip of the iceberg. As a producer i find that the finding my sound part of the process is probably the hardest part. Then you have to learn to mix and master it to make it sound the best before u put it out for the world to hear it . Best of luck it's gonna be one hell of a ride. 😎👍
Okay, I feel like crying (I am lmao) watching this because I've been stuck for so long, putting off working on recording and producing music for the first time because it's feels so hard and sounds nothing like what I hear in other people's music. Listening to what you said in the end and then hearing your little snippet of self produced music is validation and support I really needed to keep going because I recognize so many things from your journey and the piece of work you ended up with from it. Thank you for sharing, you've really helped this fellow musician :')
Same 😢
Damn Annie, i literally produced my first song in just 2 days after discovering improvised ways in cultivating music. Thanks to quarantine that push me mold my God-given talents! 💙
Do you know any good free to use daws?
@@benjaminissac8701 Bandlab Cakewalk is free, and Cockos Reaper can be used for free for non-commercial use. Traction also gives away their previous version for free. Try one of the three.
@@benjaminissac8701 bandlab and garage band are good :)
Because of this video, I’m planning to take the same course. I’ve been interested in music production for a while, now I’m going to pursue it. Thank you for this video! It motivated me a lot
Thank you for this. I’m literally just starting at EVERYTHING music related and this helped me a lot 🤩
Love that we're all in the same boat! You got this!!
I've been a self produced artist for about 4 years and i have much to learn still, but these types of videos and examples give me mad inspiration!
your track sounds so beautiful! its soo therapeutic
Oh I love the end result!!! You did amazing 🤩
Dude this video is so relatable to me. I have been singing for years and no idea what chords are or the technical aspect of it. Thank you for making me feel less alone
Same. I can find many Melodie’s for the same lyrics and it’s hard to create a chord progression
i am SO glad u posted this when u did, I just bought all the equipment needed for your own home studio and am now in the process of learning protools (shoot me now)😩 but this was super inspiring and ur final product is beautiful!!
Good luck with learning protools! It's gonna be great and I'm so excited for your journey!~ and thank you so much Natalie!!
Gl!
oh dear... im sorry that you chose pro tools for a home studio :(
@@caedenlopshire9635 HAHA right?
when she says " why am I crying" that's normal even if the person have been producing for years also ask that question when they're making a beat or mixing a song even when recording a vocals ( idk I think it's just me mybe)
I'm so glad I came across this video! I absolutely know nothing about music production, songwriting, or playing instruments. But I know that I love music and want to create tracks like the ones I've fallen in love with. It's reassuring to know that I can produce something as lovely as your final product, even where I am now 🥰
🧡 The song you created sounded amazing, and seeing your process of learning production really inspired me to finish the tracks I’ve started and release something! I can’t wait to see more of your production journey!
thank you so much for this. i’ve always loved writing poetry & lately i’ve been turning those poems into lyrics and i feel inspired to take music more srsly by learning to produce & bringing my vision to life. your track was SO good. i enjoyed every second!
Congrats! great job on your first one.
thank you so much for this motivation, I'm currently trying to learn production by myself, with no professional tools or objects, so its kinda hard because I have some ideas in my head but don't have the things I need to put them together :')
anyway, I'll try to produce some melody using my piano these days. so again, thank youuu
Do you have any advice/tips because I’m in the same place but I have no clue what to do or how to do it. Idek how to play any instruments either
It is hard because it is not the best way to learn it.
Absolutely love this! I’m suddenly motivated and inspired ❤️
Aw i’m so glad!!! 🧡🧡and thank you!
I just stumbled on your channel today, and I just want to say thank you for your incredible music related videos!! As a complete beginner, I aspire to be as talented, aesthetic, and comfortable in the musical realm as you are :) these videos inspire me so much, I look forward to seeing you grow as a creator, as I’m sure you will!!
this sounds 100,000x better than my first track. congrats, Annie!!!
I watched this video after a stressful blast hour of trying to fix fl studio and getting frustrated after a lack of creativity, watching the beginning and seeing the struggle of creating just pulled me back into reality and helped calm me down. Helped me realize that I’m not the only one having these problems and I can overcome them.
You are so inspiring!
I'm also astonished by how good Ameer is at explaining things
for a first track this is super duper good at this rate you could literally become one of the best in the world. My first beat was so buns
LOVE YOUR PASSION
That's amazing! Great job! Getting started is the hardest part, started with FL Studio my self a little over two years ago. The journey is soo awesome!
God I love this video so much. Not only the content itself is great, but visually is so good! I'm also a songwriter and I've been struggling myself with music production, maybe I'll try too taking like an online course or something to improve!
Thank you so much for this video. I am in the process of learning too but have been holding myself back because it's so new, I know so little and it's scary. Coming along on your journey really inspired me to just start for real :D
I LOVE THIS. THIS IS TOTALLY WHOLESOME. I STARTED MY PRODUCTION JOURNEY IN JULY 2022 SAMEM REASON AS YOU, I HAVE BEEN SONGWRITING FOR YEARS BUT SAME ISSUES AS YOU, UNLIKE YOU I DID NOT HAVE ANY CLASSES OR TUTORIALS THOUGH, I HAD TO FIGURE OUT SO MUCH ON MY OWN. 5 MONTHS IN AND MY DEAR ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD.
Thanks for making this! Really hoping to start learning production myself so I can start recording all of the stuff I've written, and it's good to know I'm not the only beginner out there!
Thanks for this I’ve been trying to learn more about producing and where to start so this helped a lot. ❤️❤️
Aw so glad this helped you!🧡
Awesome video! You are a great story teller, love the content.
I found Ableton one of the hardest DAWs to learn. At least for myself I’ve been an Apple user all my life and was struggling with coming up with ideas and then I happened to learn Logic Pro and found it much more intuitive to work with. On the plus side I found learning Ableton first made learning other DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic, and FL studio much easier. Everyone will have their own preference.
YES GIRL! I'm loving the high chimes in the end, its a really nice little bit of relieve. Such a chill track. Good job
You did a pretty good job with all that help.
The last lines were really passionate ❤ love ya
I have to create an EP all by myself, also taking a course on skill share, and this is also an assignment. It's a huge challenge and the pressure is real! So watching this video and how difficult you found it, I can totally relate! Your boyfriend is so sweet and helpful, I love that you are both musicians, also the track sounds amazing
good luck!!
@@weyadoe thank you! I’ve done it and it was a success
@@racheloshaksmusicHow did you create your EP?
@@Freezerrfr I had all the equipment and softwares I needed, I songwrite and I produced my songs and my EP went very well! It was for university
I have a dream to be a songwriter-producer ..😅 but i have no idea abt it and here to hear some advise ..😅
Congrats on this!!!
This came together so lovely! 🧡
I love this. Lately, I have really struggled with my motivation for my cover and music videos, because I keep questioning, whether it is good enough. It's really annoying, and considering it is a hobby for me, I figured what the h*ll, and now I've started purely doing my videos for my own enjoyment without thinking so much about, how other people might think of them. That has given me so much more motivation to record my music and videos! Sometimes it's just really nice to learn and create just for the sake of learning and creating :)
A famous producer in S.Korea says, “When it’s good, it’s good.” If you’re liking it for your own enjoyment, then it’s good and probably pretty close to being ready for the world - for the listeners who are going to vibe with your sound. You’ll find your audience with this authenticity:) Good luck! I’m embarking on learning production and it’s tough bc when I write, I have a melody so I have to produce around that Ughhh But I’m wishing you the best!!!
Wow that was a great video 😁. The breakdown scene was entertaining and so truuee. My favorite part really has to be when your bf was helping with production. That was so wholesome and i love it. Overall great video and nice song. Sounds legit 👏
your first track turned out soooo good!
Absolutely needed this as an artist it’s hard to learn stuff before we create but we got this!!
Music is divided in these sectors:
-Creating music (from basic idea, you need to play instruments)
-Producing music (taking ideas into concrete songs/projects/albums. Not only the audio part but the whole artistic part like cover art of the single or video or short story video)
-Selling music (selling finished products like songs/projects/album) you use tiktok, how do you make it viral or not, you push into podcast or make live event with the group. Selling isn't bad, is actually important step for the whole process. Selling is also promoting.
-Managing people who create music
-Managing people who produce music
-Managing all the people above
If you have this team you're like 10% of people doing music and it means you're doing some money or good music
How do i know this? i guess we are never gonna know, is just a little tip
ps: to have a good group you need someone in charge of you that it's organizational type guy and the creating part is made by artistic people and producing side by straight focus guy
if you view management, marketing and sales as part of music, you will never be an inventive musician
Girl… his class it 500 dollars. I don’t have that money 😭. I just want to learn how to make music.
You can definitely learn without having to attend his class and hopefully you did find an alternative solution by now 😊.
Nice job usually people take more time to learn how to produce music but you picked up on it really quickly. I produce music myself for over a decade and I’m really impressed 🙂
as a producer, really interesting to see! you did so well for just 12 days!
Very educational!! Thank you so much!
hey andy!! thanks so much ☺️
i had chord progression ideas one time and this video brings them back but, i never tried to bring those ideas to life because i don't have enough money to afford for fl studio nor any good music program to start making music. but this does inspire me and motivates me to keep pursuing that desire of creating and producing music.
neither do i for now, but what saved me was an online DAW called soundtrap, it's super easy and intuitive and the best thing is that it has a free version very complete. i've been playing instruments and composing for fun since forever but during lockdown i gave a try to produce my music. im always recording ideas and making beats, i really recommend you to give it a chance too :)
try GarageBand!
Omg, you explained it very simply! It's really easy to understand. Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn these.
🧡🧡🧡
I loved everything about this video
I don't think i've commented on youtube since 2015 but I really love this!! I love the way you make your videos. idk how to get an orange heart lmao
Inspiring video. Wish I could have had so much gear at the beginning of my journey, but I think I may have also benefitted from working with limitations. It's been a few years now, and I haven't grown tired of this at all. 🎶🎵
So i started on Ableton today, i got so curious about this guys's course and i was like you ( i dont make a course for years) since 8 months ago when i decided to make my own video game RPG tittle after 3 years trying and failing i re-planned all my road and noticed i needed knowledge to do what i want. Now after 8 months learning many softwares for 3D sculpt,modeling, i am programming on unreal engine and so now i started to learn music! yay! after 1 year learning piano and 1 year without learn, i am here ready to come back to the road and make music to my game.
So i want to know more about this guy course and what exactly he teachs on his course,it will help a lot. i also have plan to get some on domestika,they teach so great!
thank you
This girl understands me. Keep up the good work
great to watch for someone who’s trying to learn as well 😅
LOL IT’S A STRUGGLE OUT HERE😂
You use the same program as I do and I love it that our producer community is growing more and more female. You girls get it! I think it's a great hobby to do when you're bored and that it takes a lot of patience to come to effective results. But: once you figured out some cool things you are so proud of you understanding the thing by yourself.
I’m a female who’s also learning to produce but I feel sooo stuck. I don’t have equipment and I don’t even know where to start from. Any tips pls
@@cherie2947 try garageband!!
🧡 Good Luck and have fun on your learning journey
I've also been learning music production for 2-3 weeks and it's been fun and sometimes annoying.
simply love how inspired and motivated I feel after watching your videos, love u!
Thanks annie this inspired me to try it.
The only problem is getting the money so I can start lol. But I will ! Thank you annie
Thankyou because of you i got the motivation to do this which i've been putting up for years🧡
it took me so much to gather the motivation too! You got this!
@@AnnieDang you got this too sis
🧡 thank you for sharing. I love your concept of feeling less alone starting something new together 🫰🏻
How can I not love this video, this is exactly what I need to do. Thanks Annie.
girl, thank you so much for this video!!
This was a dope video, no one ever shows the beginner experience and I think its helpful to see no one just starts great. Great first track btw way better than mine lol.
haha the beginner experience is always a lil embarrassing, but everyone goes through it whether we see it or not! glad to have been able to share a bit of that☺️
Stumbled upon this tonight, and can I just say you're so brave and generous sharing your experience Annie :) respect!
Amazing video , loved the storytelling and the whole aesthetic : )
Hi Annie! Thank you so much for making this video! As an aspiring music artist, I really needed this and was wondering where I could take the course? Is there a link available to Andrew’s class?
this was so inspiring to watch ahh!! thank you so much for making this video i really loved your energy and honesty on being a beginner haha really helped me cause i wanna challenge myself and try and become better with this so yeah thanks and hope you are great bye ♡
Hey Marc!! aw I’m so glad you’re here! i’m wishing you all the luck with learning! you’re gonna do amazing ☺️
I totally digged this video!!! Everything you experienced is what I'm experiencing. Loved the whole "haven't learned something new in years!!" Keep it pushing gurl!!
Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
still better than my "experimental" music after 1 year of experience, damn
Hi Annie! I can relate to a lot you shared. I took Andrew Huang's music production class and it got me started on my production journey too. Since, I've released my own EP that I produced myself! Just keep going!! What helped me was having an accountability buddy. We had to make and then share one song with each other at the end of the week. Like you said also at the end of your journey, it helps to listen to others and listen to how they arrange (the specific parts). Sometimes producing a full cover helps too :D
Thanks for sharing this with us!!
Thank you for this, i am just staring myself and i can`t freaking wait:)
Thank you so much this inspired me even more to produce my first song. Hopefully I will soon hear one of my songs come to life for the first time. 🧡
MANIFESTING THIS FOR YOU!!! can't wait for you to bring your ideas to life!
@@AnnieDang Do you have any advice for turning a vocal melody I have made into a piano melody? I am currently struggling with it and when I try and do it I just doesn’t sound right.
@@writewithangelthere are some plugins like melodyne that do it for you, but I'm not sure of what other ones there are. You can search "how to turn vocal to MIDI" for a more accurate response
hi! i just started watching your videos recently and i was wondering if you’ve ever taken any classes/lessons for singing to sound so amazing? i recently quit choir because it felt like a lot of work and i was never having fun but when i sing a song i want to sing and write a song i want to write i have so much fun, but if it helps me sound better i’ll join it again! i was just wanting to know if you had any tips on how to improve?
if you want to get better at singing, the best thing to do is take classes but if you want to improve without taking classes i have two suggestions for you:
1. ask someone who isnt afraid of hurting your feelings for improvement for advice (for example, for me its my dad) then sing for them and ask them what you need to improve on (also make sure the person youve picked is someone who acctually CAN sing, becuase what might happen if you choose someone who is bad at singing you might get lead in the wrong direction) , and dont be afraid to experiment and ask them for their opinion on it.
2. watch videos on the internet, i know it seems very broad, but what i mean by this is looking at videos where vocal coaches are giving advice to their students and apply it to yourself, or even just watch the x factor and see what works for the judges and how they sing if you're really desperate.
those are the only things that are coming to mind right now, and this could be bad advice its just what worked for me!
GOOD LUUUCKK
Dang that was a really good end result
Good job!!
🧡
It was fantastic to get to hear your experience learning a new skill, thank you for sharing!
Why my music get copyrighted man
Unreal, great progress.
Your setup is awesome!
This was so sick, thank you for sharing this!!!
Such a good course, I Love Andrew! He's great
Nice! Your track is such a vibe. Thanks for sharing 🧡 this video was entertaining and inspirational!
This was inspiring!!! Thank you! 🙌🏾
Dang! You're doing a super greatt job 💥 I'd love to see more of your music in the future 💫
🧡🧡🧡 really proud you Annie
Turned out pretty good i fw the positivity💯
Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed it. 🧡
I absolutely loved this video ♡
