If I could go back in time I would use the opportunity to tell thirteen-year-old me to start with Ableton or Logic Pro instead of FL Studio. I hate FL so goddamn much especially now that it's a dead end because they're cramming in AI chord maker criminal nigger rap shit instead of allowing more than 10 FX slots or adding a "non-loop" mode where every pattern clip is unique like every other DAW.

what DAW does japanese people use (the only country that makes good music)?
>>
>>729388213
You can get pretty far with just FLEX and downloading free soundfonts or sample packs online, so id start with getting familliar with whatever you have available now.

for a real answer to your question, serum 2. but it also depends on what genres you are trying to make

If you can't figure out how to use FL Studio, it's a skill issue I'm afraid. It might be most accessible for hoodrats to make dogshit beats, but it's still a fully functional DAW too.
>>
>>729390804
the hard part is making something that doesn't sounds like shit and being aware of all the useful features that are hidden deep within fl studio's asshole, that's kind of like the blender problem
>>
>>729390970
That's fair, I suppose. I can't bemoan people for finding it hard to unearth the actually good shit inside because they don't make it easy at all. One of the reasons so many music production tutorials are FL Studio. That and it just being wildly popular I guess.

Serum is the best synthesizer for beginners since it visually shows you how your changes affect the sound. Its also very powerful so you can use it for every project no matter the genre.
Nexus used to be mandatory but as >>729389212 says you can use FLEX as your default sampler.
Also, I would recommend you download at least Vengeance Club Sounds 3 from >>729392279. Depending of who you used to listen in the 2010s, you'll realize those samples were fucking everywhere and the drums are really good to this day.

it's the same model that Photoshop used to use. They don't give a shit about piracy because once you learn how to use it and reach a point where you can have disposable income to buy their products, you're going to end up buying it anyway.

Best advice is to just pirate now before people get wise and end up doing the shit that Reason has started doing

To add some vital presets: There's this guy named frank pole who "emulates" very known VSTs inside FL Studio's patcher and gives them for free. I always use finalizer as a mastering chain, also, the soothe clone as saved my life countless times, I'd advise you to check his channel once you realize you want one of those expensive plug-ins and then you patch the clone instead.

If you don't know shit about music theory, learning will always help, but its not mandatory for using a DAW if you just want to make EDM or VGM.
What you need to learn 100% is music production. How to use a synth, how to mix and EQ your instruments so the final product doesn't sound like shit. There's endless info in youtube but for every hour you spent watching shit you need to invest another one practicing, otherwise it will be useless.
Producing more tracks is better than spending months into the "perfect track". You won't get better until you finish whole tracks, evaluate them, and then you start all over again.

>>729395473
Just use FL or Ableton unless you really know what you're looking for.
