So my fursona makes music in the universe my characters live in. I’ve been thinking about trying to make some songs because I think it would be fun. But I don’t know anything. I’m still in high school so I haven’t really had a chance to learn anything to start myself going. So I was wondering if maybe there was something I could do to start learning the basics of how to use or what a good program is. Idk.
As a high school student myself, I can tell ya of some good programs to use. It truly depends on what kind of music you are trying to make, ex. Drums, piano, and others, but if you are looking for wind instrument guidance, I could help there. As for music makers, there are some dubstep pads you could try virtually, and they tend to be quite the music! Also, I have one great app you can try. It's called Chordbot lite, a free little music maker where you can take different types of music, variations, and others and convert them into your own little songs. You can adjust tempo, bass, pitch, and all the intricate details in it! I've used Chordbot most of my time, and it's quite satisfying! And if you have a small sum of money, you could buy the full version to get access to the full options of Chordbot. There's another app called Djay free where you can take songs and mix them in true dubstep fashion. This also includes changing the pitch and tone of the song to fit your preferences, and makes it easier too!
But more hands on, I can give some guidance about piano if that does interest you. Some basics to go over are the white keys, which resemble C, D, E F, G B, and high C. The black notes on the piano are sharps and flats of the notes on the white keys, like above the first is a C#, or the white key is referred to as a C flat. And yeah, if you need more insight, let me know! I've taken some band classes, and did Marching band, so i can help out in any physical instrument styles! Or if the music maker apps that I recommended work, then that'll be great!
Hope this information helps!
