Hey guys. As the title says, I am pretty much entirely new to this, although I am extremely interested in learning to make my own songs. I just feel overwhelmed and I have no idea how to actually make the sounds I want. I followed this tutorial (http://8bc.org/wiki/index.php?title=LSD Sabrepulse) and made this incredibly basic song (http://soundcloud.com/ihopeicaneditthislater/songtest) but I still feel like I barely learned anything.
Does anyone know of any tutorials that are really great for getting the hang of making your own sounds or other necessary skills? Any tips or anything? I know this is a really general topic but I just feel quite lost and confused.
I want to create a song that sounds like a dream kind of, starting off slow and light, then getting faster and intense towards the end before slowing back down again right at the end. If I can manage to make this song, I hope to one day make my own album.
