Learning ressources
What is your favorite ressource for learning about electronic music production?
Here’s my favorite learning ressources Attack magazine technique section. In particular the Beat dissected articles
https://attackmagazine.com/technique/
My particular style I would like to learn more is EBM/Industrial/movie sountrack(John Carpenter- Goblin)
Comments
Have you seen the book that Attack magazine put out? It's not bad.
Honestly YouTube is my university. Once you learn to separate the wheat from the chaff it’s unbeatable. I also susbcribe to AskVideo to fill in very specific gaps. AttackMagazine is awesome as well, obviously.
+1 for the AskAudio all access yearly subscription. Its on sale each year around Black Friday for only $72. Lots of great learning to be had there on a variety of topics. IGood luck!

It looks interesting. You bought it?
I had never heard of ask video. Thank you. Any favorite on you tube? Im sure we all watch haq attaq and the sound test room.
Listening to music that you love and trying to find out how and why that sound, melody or even effect trick got your attention can be a good pointer to learning, discovery, accidents both happy and sad..
The how and why in electronic music are not always easy to find out by yourself.
I’ll give you a example. My first try at electronic music about ten years ago I was trying for the longest time to reproduce typical industrial snare, too me it sounded like a snare with a long trail with tons of reverb. Boy was I wrong.
Doug aka thesoundtestroom has made a video or maybe more on this exact topic, it will be on YouTube.
I wonder how many production, recording and sound design techniques have been lost, over the decades, because they simply weren’t passed on at the time and everybody who was involved has died since. I’m thinking of the pre-internet days, of course.
YouTube is distracting with related videos that can side track you. What you need is all course content in one place in a structured format so you can focus - YT videos rarely offer that.
Udemy.com is easy to use. Their courses go on sale each month for about $10 each (even if they cost $100 or $300 regularly). You can use their app to download courses/chapters for offline watching where there is no WiFi and later delete the downloaded content to recover space. If buying courses, buy on their site and access it on the web or app. Buying through AppStore could have issues if you want a refund or switch course or something as Apple cannot do those things for in-app purchases.

I’m in the same boat, trying to find the best resources .. Computer Music and Future Music magazine have been excellent for hardware & software production, respectively. I highly recommend.
As for video tuts, I just canceled askvideo sub after a month — finding it an absolute pain to cancel — they make you click a link on an email they send in order to confirm cancel, but I get an error on their page when I do it ... argh!
Just signed up for Sonic Academy; finding its not as good as I thought it was on first impression ...so much of their content is out of date, but I’ve found some worthwhile tutorials after digging around..
groove3 has a free first month sub I may check out..., also udemy looks promising.
I agree on youtube.. Some awesome learning content on there that have helped a lot, but I end up getting distracted by all the hardware reviews, people toying around on modular, etc ..I need something with more focus - I feel like I have attention deficit disorder
I’m also a fan of interactive “gameified” learning services. I’ve been able to advance guitar and keyboard quite a bit in the last few months with yousician. Other similar services I’m going to eventually try out
Soundgym.co = great for developing your ear for mixing/production
And once I get a push 2 or Maschine MPC controller, I’ll probably sign up for melodics.com
I checked out some video tutorial services last year and found a tutorial series I really enjoyed , by some 16-18 year old young lady, I believe she was focusing on integrating hardware synths with ableton and is fairly well known with her music . Anyway, I watched a few introduction videos from her at the time and meant to sign up for the service she was on , but got distracted with other things since then and forget which outlet I found her on ..
If she sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. There aren't many girls her age doing tutorial videos on Groove3/sonic/Udemy or whichever service she was on. I found her instruction to be quite easy to follow and learn from. would love to find it again.
p.s. it wasn't dawless jammin , but reminds me of her.
AdamsBrew, As you know, the issue with music tutorial videos is that they rarely reach even 50K views on YouTube because of the way mankind is wired towards music learning (majority of the people just want to listen to music). If you work at a company that has 200 people, you would be lucky if you find 1 or 2 people (tops) there who are into learning/producing music - that's the reality ratio.
YouTubers do not get incentivized to produce full-course tutorials because of low views and poor monetization. Compare that to videos of Casey Neistat, MKBHD, Mo Vlogs and other influencers - their videos receive over a million views in less than 2 days and they can keep producing more videos. For this very reason, if we want quality music tutorial content all structured in one place so we can focus, we need to pay for it and Udemy is very reasonable - $10 for a full course (when they go on sale every month), buy once, keep it forever and NO recurring charges like Lynda. At that price, we can buy a couple of courses on subjects of our interest from various instructors for full coverage. They have preview chapters, course/instructor reviews, ratings from students, feedback, Q&A, refund/exchange policy and so you cannot go wrong. Udemy has over 60,000 courses on every imaginable topic and it is easy to use. I'm not affiliated to them.
For you tube I make playlists...apps, aspects of ableton, more aspects of ableton, love our guys dabbler, haq, and electronisounds, but when I get serious I go to ask.audio and pay for a library pass for a month...and go hard—omnisphere was great for that.
Rutracker has “ working with sound” torrents which are collections of courses....a lot of it is hard to find elsewhere...
I know that it is inevitable that I am going to have to know wtf I am doing with mixing and compression...it’s like a dreaded trigonometry or economics class you know you are going to have to take to finish your pre requisites.
To be honest, I never ever thought I would come this far...animoog on my phone was the stone that caused the ripple...3 years ago...I never thought I would understand midi. Turns out it is incredibly simple and logical.
Hopefully compression and mixing will be too. But I doubt it.
A GOOD manual is priceless and unfortunately often an iOS dev afterthought. I love the bm3 manual and also really appreciate beathawks manual. Very well done.
I learn a lot from the geniuses in here, too.
It is weird and fascinating how apps or concepts (say, modular synthesis) can just suddenly click after you put it down for a while. Model 15 was bewildering at first but it forced me to actually do more than fiddle with presets. Reverse engineering was huge.
I still can’t program my own arps worth a shit and it seems to be my favorite thing to waste 8 hours on.
This is the truth for me. I look up a subject, find an excellent video and then before I know it I've spent my 3 hour evening watching YouTube instead of practicing my guitar or working on music! There is something about YouTube that connects with either my lizard brain or my inner TV watching child that so easily distracts me from everything. I can watch it for hours a night. I think I'm addicted.
Same problem here too! We need a curated YouTube channel with only good tutorials.
And then a reminder to turn off the TV and go and practice what we just learned! I really like interactive synthesis and sound creation tutorials (such as how to make an amp sound a certain way) where I can be tweaking knobs and pressing buttons at the same time as the online teacher. For guitar, Justin Guitar and Shut Up and Play guitar tutorials do that for me. I'm still looking for the ideal iPad teacher -- mostly because they always have some app or interface that I don't have - looking at you Jakob!
I'm surprised no one mentioned Lynda.com. While iOS is virtually ignored, there are dozens of excellent courses for Ableton, Logic, Maschine, FL Studio, Pro Tools, etc. The one iOS tutorial there is is for Auria Pro. It's excellent, really. Subscription to the site is $20 a month, but you get a free trial, which is definitely enough time to complete the Auria course.
There's a course on Lynda.com for Moog 15. If you're in the US your library may have a subscription. Worth checking.
What music production youtube channels do people recommend?
SWEET. We have a membership for all employees through work but I haven't dug into it. I didn't realize they had stuff like that!
I loved the Animoog tutorial on AskVideo .., Finally decided to dive into that beast , finding it a helluva lot easier than it looked... I think I'm going to get Udemy sub next.
Currently working through Syntorial Courses that I bought a while back., Got the Sylenth and Z3TA expansions to hit after I finish the core. I'm learning a lot faster with it than I do with regular videos, due to the interactivity and testing.
Here are some channels that have helped me tremendously:
Rick Beato = For music theory
Thesoundtestroom = for iOS.
Benn and Gear = Deep dive into electronic music production
RedArtMedia1 = Some great lessons on production with Propellerhead Reason ; HipHop
Sound Design Tutorial = self explanatory
PluginGuru
That's just a few I've subbed that I regularly check out ...
Would love to hear if anyone else have good YT recommendations ..
Wow I also didn’t realize Lynda had iOS stuff. Good call!
