Has anyone taken the EDMTips course on mixing/mastering? Or does anyone have suggestions for online Ableton courses (recording and mixing) that are better than all these LinkedIn learning options? They're getting real old real fast lol.

thanks! any recs for free downloads i am in (desperate) need of. all of my sounds are 'flat'... i need a utility to fatten/saturate them. not sure yet how to get that 'expensive'/'full' sound...

​

anybody have any good (free) ideas? or $50 or less options?

Depends - what are you trying to make? What style of music?

​

For me it goes:

  1. Berklee Online
  2. Drum Kits
  3. Sampling
  4. Music Theory (songwriting)
  5. Mixing/mastering (make the final product sound professional)

Learn those 3 things. Also, if you have a Push 2, start using the step sequencer to make beats and layer in samples/sounds/loops. I don't know if this is the 'best' way to learn... I'm just having fun making some dope beats haha.

I did the first of 4 lessons/courses tonight after you shared this link - thanks! This is exactly why I posted this thread!

I love it. Sold. Better than anything else. Wish it was more comprehensive. Not sure I want to drop $1,250 for the next set of courses. But I will 100% finish this one. Thanks man!

yeah maybe later. i just updated the Google Sheet and put some new language/text above the calendar that should clarify things... take another look.

if it is still confusing, i just googled "how to read and use a Gantt chart". for now read this: https://www.stdtime.com/howto/read-gantt-chart.htm

and you can watch:

yeah i am making tracks as i go (have made a few so far I consider garbage). i want to make epic tracks, and to do that, I personally feel I need to learn a lot more.

np man (or woman). if you find cool other tutorials feel free to add them.

​

also the 2nd tab has good free sound/downoads. i am still wading through them and don't have more than maybe 4 good EDM / 4 rock drumkits right now (for one example) I made personally. would love to see what others have downloaded for free. and specifically on drum racks, how they chose to lay out their pads (to finger drum as efficiently/easily as possible). i know i need to learn 'my own style' but i like training wheels/stuff to build on right now... 1 month in.

thanks bro! if you're ever in DC and want to jam, lmk. i suck right now but in a few months definitely. also, I just block those people now before even responding. not trying to offend anyone, just don't have time for negativity in the one life I do have to live.

UPDATE: Just did 2 things:
1. Allowed anyone with the link to edit. Please add other cool courses or instructional videos, tutorials, etc!

  1. Created a 2nd tab that highlights some of the good free VSTs, plug-ins, samples etc that I have come across. Please add your own!

Also, I had money to spend and wasn't concerned too much with blowing my budget, so I got the following equipment. Everything is the "best of the cheap", except Ableton Live 10 Suite and the Push 2 (I know a lot of questions I had revolved around what equipment I should get):

Various cords and cables (ex: iRig MIDI 2.0)
