I'm thinking about starting a SoundCloud and I'm just interested in hearing advice, from producing beats to getting collabs to listens to whatever you wanna offer :) I pretty much know nothing about ts so anything would be helpful thxxxx love u all <3

@Eggyz999 I play piano, and have made some melodies of my own, but beyond that, I know nothing. Restrictive parents are a real gem.

[Eggyz999]

@spamburger how do you come up with melodies? Like I don't even know how to time beats n shi I know pretty much nth about music other than song lyric writing

[spamburger]

@Eggyz999 You just need to learn simple chords in all keys, learn about time signature etc, which I think comes with learning piano. Really, you just need a bit of music theory, like what chord would go along with a specific single note. Knowing about all of the different keys would also be helpful. The most common time signature is 4/4, which means a quarter note = 1 beat, and there are 4 beats in each measure. The most basic key is C major (because it requires no sharp or flat notes). So I just recommend studying up a bit, and you'll have a clearer direction in general.

@spamburger so study music theory? Where do I start

[spamburger]

Me personally, I learned piano, learning music theory along with it, but you could probably just watch some videos etc. It takes a bit of time, but if you work at it you'll understand. You just need to know what notes you're using, what key you're playing in, and some tempo. It isn't very hard.
