My Music Production: Update 1

My Music Production: Update 1

If you don't know me very well, you probably wouldn't know that I enjoy creating music as much as I like to listen to it. Although math and physics are very interesting, they're not passions of mine. I'm a fan of the art of design, and I prefer to use creativity in my work when possible. This is why I was very interested in pursuing a degree in architecture. Things didn't work out as I had planned, and I've found myself entrapped in a civil/environmental engineering program. I hope to one day be involved in architecture projects, but for now, music production is my way to express my creativity.

I started using Garageband on my dad's Mac a few years ago. I began to learn the elements of songs, and I started messing around to see what I could make. Recently, I've begun to study and become more dedicated to learning how to use music production software so as to improve my skills.

I've discovered that there are a lot of different programs out there, and a lot of them are much better than Garageband. One of my friends told me about Reason which is a great program, but it is a little out of my current price range. So, I have turned to FL Studio which is another great program and it is more affordable. I'm still figuring things out, and it's taking awhile to learn the facets of the program amidst my consistent load of schoolwork. But, I think I'm progressing and hopefully, I'll have some full songs made soon.

My most recent project is an attempted remake of 'City of Dreams' by Dirty South & Alesso. It's a great song that was released at the beginning of September. Here is the original (Skip to 1:00 for the part I tried remaking):

I know it's not even close yet, but here is my version:

Check out my other YouTube videos or my Soundcloud for my other music! There should be another 'On Repeat' post next Tuesday, so come back for that!
