Drummer of 12 years looking for a Music Production FL Studio Instructor

[Raymond34]

Hey guys. I posted a thread in the Marketplace, but figured that more people look at this section so I'd get more producers interested.

I've played drums for 12 years and am fairly advanced. That helps a lot with the rhythm part of things. I'm taking Music theory classes currently and really want to dive into producing electronic music. I have FL Studios and also have access to Ableton, and am looking for someone who'd be willing to mentor and teach me how to get good at this. We could just do screen sharing.

I know there are millions of tutorials and youtube videos out there.. But everything is so unstructured. I could spent hours jumping from one topic to the next, video to video, and never get anywhere. I'm looking for a structured, formulated approach to getting good at music production. I'm going to put in 3-4 hours a day, so I'm not expecting a magic fix on your end, but rather guidance and instruction, then pointers on what direction I should go in.

Start here

This is SeamlessR's (53) video breakdown of FL studio, it's probably enough to keep you busy for a while. It's reasonably well structured and at least presented in a production friendly way. There are lots of other videos out there, but many seem to be simply a skim of the manual

I'd also recommend going to the official Image Line youtube page, they also have tons of videos

I second the recommendation for SeamlessR's Youtube series. It's free, available in high quality, and he covers a lot of ground. He also has various other playlists that follow up on the "basic" course, as well as various "Song from Scratch" live video captures that demonstrate his workflow. It's all great stuff.
