How to start music production? - the easiest way
Well, I got to know this hard way. Let's roll it:
- Understand the music is layered (drums, vocals, bass, etc.)
- Get to know rythm patterns and how they’re connected to popular music genres
- Choose DAW (I’d suggest GarageBand, since it’s free and has tons of free content)
- Learn by doing. Progress by doing small steps. Try recreating some songs.
- Create your style - the best producers can be recognized only by effects or tools they’re using
- Understand music production process as a whole (assembly, mixing, recording, etc.)
PS. Learn music theory and have fun all the time!
Also as an extra tip: YouTubers are content creators, don’t trust on them unless you know that they are true professionals and know what they do and talk about.
