no one really feels the need to discuss their interactions with labels. ive had offers from people on tranceaddict who wanted to sign my tracks but they were only digital so i wanted to hold out. now im in talks with a fairly big label have the agreement signed just waiting on the contract.

the chance is all up to you, age doesnt matter if you can create quality material.

hope you're right im pretty confident with my amount of creativity i just hope it is like you say, so should i go into the production field full force?

edit:and great to hear your almost getting signed sterilis, hope it works out between you and the lable.

you dont have to decide right away...just mess around, if you enjoy it and you sense you have the passion, then yes go full force if you feel it's right.

The earlier you start the better. Download as many demos as possible and just fuck around.

Once you're happy with a sequencer and a few vsts (or reason if you go that way) then get them and start practicing. A young producer is actually a big bonus as it means that they can only get better.

don't be all so fucking optimistic...

I mean...not that it's too bad, but please can't someone actually mention that some people actually can't make music at all?

To the thread starter: as Fledz said, yes, mess around with everything you can find, and if you like it go and buy yourself some gear /be it hardware or software, doesn't matter/, have lots of fun, but don't expect to make a hit in one year and being a star...everyone here tells you, that it's great, but to the sad end of the case you can come to the conclusion that you just can't make music...you have to be prepared for this possibility too...

and btw being young doesn't mean anything...the only thing is that you have a little more time to learn, but also I think when you're too young you have better things to do...I mean...everyone has to go through the clubbing stage, dating everyday and shit a like...

Thank you!

i disagree - I think you should start producing as young as possible and that way you get better younger as well so increasing your chances of forging a career in the business.

You can still party loads and have a life - just don't waste your time in front of shitty computer games that drain your life energy.

Produce first and if you become successful the opportunity to dj will arise at which point you can deal with it then.

As for labels and shit - if you make good music it will only be a matter of time until your sound gets picked up by bigger labels.

You may have to sign stuff to smaller labels to start with and once your name gets out there and in the scene and your getting big DJ support then that will imporove your chances of getting signed to a big label.

Your music needs to be top drawer though and that takes time to get to that level, took me 2 years but takes some 10 years

Hmm.. Just do it. It will probobly take some time to get where you want, but start with Reason for example. It has pretty much all you need to get a hang of the basics in an easy way, and its fun. Take your favorite tracks you have, start to analyze them soundwise, try to focus on different elements in the tracks, then try to recreate them. I think this is a good way of practice. I dont say its easy, cus it aint, but u gotta start somewhere. You will hit many bumps on the road, but just hang in there. Dont expect to be a "star" producer after a month or the end of the year. Dont focus so much on things like Eq'ing and compresson. Just try to get the sounds and focus on the mixing. Baby steps, and dont rush cus it wont get you anywhere faster. And dont take it so seriously in the beginning, it should be fun, not a must!

Cheers
C

Manage time both ways, learning to DJ well is easier and less time consuming than learning to produce well because there are just so many possibilities and options in the production field.

Split your weeks into learning both things.

thanks guys. lot of help
