As Sendy pointed, I defined the term for you. Let me clear here, when I say that music theory isn't always the key to getting started, I don't mean ultra basic definitions. I don't call knowing the definitions of a quarter note, a bar "music theory." At the very least, you're going to have to watch some tutorials, or, you know, read something?Michaelangelus wrote:ghettosynth wrote:Everyone jumps to music theory and playing an instrument, ok, good things to learn. Can you DJ the style that interests you? Think in terms of "32s", or sections that contain an 8 bar loop that repeats 4 times. Each bar contains 4 beats so: 4 beats * 8 bars * 4 repeats = 128 beats. So, at 128 bpm this section takes one minute to play. So, it varies by style, but EDM is generally five to seven of these 32s. Make it easy on yourself, go for five for that first track.
I dont even know what a 32 is or how to DJ whatsoever lol. Im as newbie as you could get
Both of these guys cop to being lazy in their videos. Please take note of even the quantity of simple skills that are required, e.g. finding samples, finding effects, finding sounds. Even if you are nothing more than an "organizer" of other sounds, it will take some effort on your part to pull it together.
Here are some videos, and
here's the trick I used to find these.

Now this one you wouldn't find without a little help. I'm not crazy about John Flemming's music, but, among these videos, although he's a bit repetitive, he seems genuinely sincere in trying to help people understand how he gets the job done. There are a lot of great tips and details in here and you will get a lot from repeated viewings. This is the first part, there are nine more parts. Click on the link, it will take you to a playlist.
