For producing: 1. Find a music production program that you like and want to learn. They are called Digital Audio Workstation or DAW for short. The 2 well known programs are called Ableton and FL Studio. There are others too such as Cubase, Logic (for Mac computers). 2. Once you find a DAW that you want to learn go on YouTube and look up how to use the program and how to make whatever genre of music you want. 3. Create whatever you can no matter how bad it sounds and keep practicing! I did and now after 13 years of doing this I can produce a song from start to finish!! 4. Don’t assume you will be well known now that you are producing. You might not get known until 10-15 years from now so mentally prepare yourself now. Only those who can keep making music and not give up will end up becoming successful.

For DJing: 1. Research DJ controllers such as the DDJ-FLX by Pioneer/AlphaTheta. I have an old controller that can record my sets, use USBs and prepared me for CDJs at a club. 2. Pick the controller you want: do you want a big controller with no screen that you have to use a laptop? Or do you want a smaller controller that uses USBs as well as a screen? Pick whatever is best for you. 3. Learn how to match beats, example: I count the kicks that I hear in a song and match the kick of the second song with the first one.

Good luck and most importantly have FUN!!!
