I Learn How to Produce Music in 12 DAYS!

In 12 Days, I went from someone who didn't know a thing about production, to having a full track produced by myself! Learning how to use Ableton and how to produce has probably been the most fun I've had and I can't wait to share it all with you!

If you’re reading this, HI!!! Thanks so much for swinging by and watching me go through the process! Obviously I’m a complete beginner and still have so much to learn. Who else is learning how to produce here? 👀🎛

As a producer and classical pianist of 13 years, my best advice is try to learn everything you can about creating music, but almost more importantly, learn what music means to people, and has meant to people in the past.

[WasabiBlues]

Yessss the producing journey is definitely a wild ride but it's a lot of fun!! My advice would be for every track you get stuck on start with a new one and come back to it later. The best part of producing is you can always repurpose or come back with a clear head after time passes. When I used to produce, I would set a goal on one specific piece whether it be melody, drums etc I wanted done. After I did that, I would break and either start a new beat or just walk away all together.

You crying in the first 3 minutes was so comforting because literally YES "I haven't done any school in years" thank you for being so vulnerable to share that moment with us because I feel the same way trying to get into a Sonic Arts program and eventually pursuing a masters degree (Also I watched your video specifically bc literally the algorithm is always shoving stright white music bros down my throat and I'm like "plz no. Can i watch a video from literally ANYONE else for once" so thank you in general for doing what you do)

[thingymusic]

As a music producer that's been making stuff for a year, you did a really good job! The song was hella' groovy and as for someone who learned producing in 12 days I could say that's really REALLY good. I've had a hard time starting, but as time goes by and if your consistency on making beats are stable, that's where you get your momentum and of course, you must not lose that momentum as if you lose it, you lose motivation, progress will pause and you'll be stuck.

This video made me lowkey cry. I love how you share everything with your followers with absolutely NO gatekeeping. It shows how humble you are. Love you Annie.

[theRingMaster]

Not going to lie, for your first time it's actually very VERY good. If you heard my first track, you'd laugh your stomach out. And you're completely right music production takes a lot of getting used to, but since you have your amazing boyfriend and the course to help you, you have nothing to worry about. Especially after making what you just made.Much love and happy learning. PEACE!!!

[anasbazaid]

Heyy Annie, first of all I love that you Put in the whole process, my advice as a producer and a mix engineer. if you ever feel you don't know what to add, get on the mic and humm melodies and stuff and you can EQ them to be not totally present and put them way back in the mix as a texture for ur beat.
all love and respect from Saudi.

Girl… his class it 500 dollars. I don’t have that money 😭. I just want to learn how to make music.

[Starleeter]

I've been wanting to get into producing for a while but I've been slowly learning the ropes after my day job the past month. It was really inspiring and motivating seeing you produce a song in 12 days!!

[MiketheNerdRanger]

I've been producing on FL Studio since I was 14. I'm 26 now, but I've also been in a huge rut for an embarrassing amount of time. Videos like this inspire me to keep trying.

[bubblegum]

Producing is just the tip of the iceberg. As a producer i find that the finding my sound part of the process is probably the hardest part. Then you have to learn to mix and master it to make it sound the best before u put it out for the world to hear it . Best of luck it's gonna be one hell of a ride. 😎👍

[kamekomusic]

Your story telling is so good!! Thank you for making this video and encouraging other people to start producing. Honestly is such a handy skill to have and you showed that literally anyone can pick it up. Also those drums sound buSsin 🤩 loved the track

[IAMNAYTHIN]

I've been a self produced artist for about 4 years and i have much to learn still, but these types of videos and examples give me mad inspiration!

[armanimorris]

I'm so glad I came across this video! I absolutely know nothing about music production, songwriting, or playing instruments. But I know that I love music and want to create tracks like the ones I've fallen in love with. It's reassuring to know that I can produce something as lovely as your final product, even where I am now 🥰

[darleneelizabethmusic]

🧡 The song you created sounded amazing, and seeing your process of learning production really inspired me to finish the tracks I’ve started and release something! I can’t wait to see more of your production journey!

[whotda]

Because of this video, I’m planning to take the same course. I’ve been interested in music production for a while, now I’m going to pursue it. Thank you for this video! It motivated me a lot

[andrheathegreat]

thank you so much for this. i’ve always loved writing poetry & lately i’ve been turning those poems into lyrics and i feel inspired to take music more srsly by learning to produce & bringing my vision to life. your track was SO good. i enjoyed every second!

[izzzzy]

I just stumbled on your channel today, and I just want to say thank you for your incredible music related videos!! As a complete beginner, I aspire to be as talented, aesthetic, and comfortable in the musical realm as you are :) these videos inspire me so much, I look forward to seeing you grow as a creator, as I’m sure you will!!

[rubengil]

Hi Annie, I'm glad you decided to invest time in this beautiful art. Ableton Live, at first, is quite a challenge but with the passage of time you will see that you will be able to understand it and, looking back, you will see that it was worth it. :)

Kind regards from a producer from Argentina!
