Look, it can't just be me posting Lake Radio's music forever. We need more people posting self-created music from this community. Please post How tos below for instruments and programs that helped you learn.

    I haven't done any music myself, but I read a blog series a while back, "Bad and Wrong Music Lessons". The author is a complete amateur with no musical education, but he starts working with a DAW and goes through his process and what he learned. It was a pretty interesting perspective, and I guess it could be kind of inspiring for people who feel too intimidated to get into making music.

    The problem is that I’m composing music. I’d write about music, but I don’t know anything about music. Sure, I made some music, but that’s mostly because I am a hard-working and resourceful idiot, not because I have any musical talent. ... Since I can’t share my knowledge with you, I’ll have to share my ignorance. Let me tell you about all the things I don’t know about music. Or to be more precise, all the things I think I know but are most likely profoundly, dangerously wrong.

    The first entry is technically https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=24037 which introduces the DAW itself, and then it goes into the series proper https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=24042
