Music production is an integral part to music. Without production, our favorite artists' songs would sound lackluster and dull. Choosing the proper music production software or DAW (Digital Audio Workspace) can be overwhelming at first. It's important to learn the pros and cons of each while also taking into account the genre of music you want to make. Different DAW's tend to excel at expediting the creation of some genres while hindering others.
"In the Mix" is a great channel resource when it comes to FL Studio tutorials. They offer a fantastic beginner course in DAW terminology while also highlighting the DAW's unique features. FL Studio tends to be catered towards genres such as Hip Hop or EDM. Any genre of music can be produced in FL Studio, however, many of the features included in the DAW can ease the burden of creating different nuances found in Hip Hop / EDM
Ethan Davis's video reguarding Abelton Live offers great insight into the definitions found in DAW's as well as terms that are unique to the software. Davis further touches on multiple different work windows that are present in the software. Abelton Live has a emphasis on preforming live music, but is also often used in the creation of EDM.
Logic is a great and versatile option when it comes to production. Logic is traditionally not associated with a specific genre, as a magnitude of different artist use the software. Skills Factory's video regarding Logic covers the basics of navigating the software while also providing live examples of how to record/edit audio.
Garageband is great starting option of new producers. Unlike other softwares, Garageband is free for those using Apple devices. While rather limiting, the software provides enough utility for aspiring producers to achieve their creative vision (Artist such a Steve Lacy began on Garageband)
