Curtis Lau's Music Production

First of all, the DAW ( digital audio workstation) I am working on is FL Studio. There are a lot of videos and tutorials of producers of many genres who uses this, so I figured using this program would be most practical with all these resources helping me. Before anything else, I needed to select the beats per minute value of my project. It's a bit higher than most other electronic music genres out there, but I've selected 150 bpm as it correlates with the music I normally listen to. Changing the program's default bpm preset to 150bpm By default, FL Studio has the Kick, Clap, Hat, and Snare channels open on the channel rack. You can play around with these channels to create patterns/sequences, but I don't need these for my project. I've closed all the default channels and opened up FL Keys, a stock piano channel. FL Studio's default channel rack configuration Opening up the FL Keys channel Opening up the channel's piano roll allows ...

Pivoting from my original idea on 3D modelling, I will be recording my learning experience with music making electronically instead. Similarly to 3D modelling, producing music is a form of creation I have never done before. I think it is interesting in challenging my self to create media that involves a different sensory input than what I am normally used to (visual). Recently I've wondered how this form of music is made and the working processes behind them. Like I said in the previous post before, I am someone who is curious about new techniques and mediums for creation and want to have some knowledge and experience behind every practice. My basic plan for this learning project is to document the techniques and working processes I will need to develop and also the sounds I will make. I don't want to make this experience too complicated for myself, so I've decided to keep my scope small and look to make only a melodic tune. I am looking to create one tune, but show my ...

Edit: I've changed my direction of the Maker Project onto a different form a creation. Read the next post for more information Throughout the course of the coming weeks, I will be documenting my learning experience with 3D modelling, a form of creation I have never done before. Coming from a background of working in 2D, I am often curious on how 3D models are made and the working processes behind them. I am someone who is curious about new techniques and mediums for creation and want to have some experience in every practice. My basic plan for this learning project is to document the techniques and working processes I will need to develop and also the digital models I will make. I don't want to make this experience too complicated for myself, so I've decided to keep my desired object I'm modelling as something simple in form and is not too intricate. I haven't fully settled on my idea yet, but as the project moves on, I am looking to model three different obje...
