I basically have zero music making experience but always had some interest in it. A couple months ago I started to consider picking a daw and playing around with it as a hobby. Tried a couple trials and things felt kind of clunky with a mouse and keyboard so I started looked at some midi controllers and ending up really intrigued by the Ableton Push. Found what I think is a decent deal on a Push 3 recently and now I'm here.
I've got a Push 3 (not standalone), Ableton 12 Intro running on an m2 macbook, and some decent headphones and that's it. I think that's all I really need, but if there is anything I'm missing or just other nice to have things please let me know and I'll check it out. I plan on upgrading to 12 suite since the extra instruments, tools (and M4L) seem worth it, but other than that I don't plan on getting any plugins for now. At least until I figure the basics out![:lol:]( "Laughing")
So I guess my question is does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the hang of all this? I don't mind banging my head against the wall and seeing where I end up with just the ableton manual, but if anyone has any resources, or guides, or just a list of things that would be helpful to know for someone who is jumping in to making music blind, I'd appreciate them. Mostly looking for ableton and push specific stuff, but also open to anything more general if people think it's worth knowing. Thanks to everyone in advance!![:tu:]( "Thumbs Up!")
