Hello everyone,
my name is DS.
I am a 35 years old german who just loves music. While for the longest time I have "only" be listening to music, last year I started making my own music.
While I dabbled a little bit on a Keyboard, first as a kid and later on picked that up again, I never really recieved any musical education.
Last summer when I was talking to a friend, he was talking about picking up his hobby of producing music. This inspired me to give it a try again myself. I am saying again here, because around 20 years again I played around with the old "Magix Music Maker", but for some reason was not patient enough to keep at it.
So last summer I downloaded LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio) as that was the only free programm that I could think of and fell in love with making my own music. As I progressed I browsed the web for some tutorials here and there and tried to learn a few things about music theory, but most time goes into trying out things myself and just creating tracks. While I still want to learn more about music theory and music production in general, what matters most to me is just letting my imagination guide me, rather than trying to dampen my creativity by focussing too much on theory itself.
While I am open to all kinds of music, I favorites are in the electronic music genres like Dance, Trance and some Minimal and those are the directions which I lean towards myself.
*I´ll be making a post with my newest track in the song section too and would really appreciate getting some feedback on it. Just please don´t crush my spirit, I know I have a long way to go and I am open to criticism, but please keep in mind I am still really new to the whole music making thing .
Looking forward to read what you think!
edit: *I just realised I need to make some posts first before I can post my tracks, as I am rather short on time right now this will most likely have to wait until tomorrow .
