17 Year Old Producer Outta Texas!
NONE AT ALL! I have taken music theory early but slept through it. Don't regret it, it was good sleep.
I use FL Studio 12 both for producing & engineering, I don't plan on moving to ProTools, FL does the perfect job.
I use an AKAI MPK Mini for melodies and correct them on the PC, same with drum patterns. I like having things aligned.
I'm currently not listening to anything, but I'd check out some horrorcore rap if you've never heard of it!
My favorite albums are:
- 2000 B.C. by Canibus
- Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia
- Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous by Big L
- Capital Punishment by Big Pun
- Only Bodies Left Behind by Scum
There are plenty others but those are the first to come to mind.
I'm a big hip hop head & a horrorcore fan, but I enjoy trap music & pretty much anything else, as long as I like it. My favorite producers as of now are TREETIME & Crypt.
My music has no particular sound. I don't open the program prepared. I just find a loop I like and do it on the spot.
Sleep because studio time can be exhausting.
