As a music producer myself what I can say is that you should know the basics of a DAW,( e.g Fl studio, logic) and I would advise you to go on YouTube to watch tutorials. You should check out Chukii beats, Sikky beats they make lots of tutorials and share latest ideas. I wish good luck on your journey into music production

Hey!
Very excited to hear that you want to be a music producer! The others who answered your question got pretty close but I want to emphasis a few things. First- it's going to take a while. I've been in the industry for years at this point trying different things and experimenting. I wouldn't say I was actually good at this until maybe a year and a half or maybe two years ago. You need that time to practice and learn how to produce. While you're practicing, you will be finding your sound and learning what works for you. A lot of that production and learning will be free work- there's really no way around that because not many artists will ask an unknown producer to do something- they will be looking for cheap work or the credits to back up expensive work. PLEASE DO NOT take this as discouraging- this is what every producer has to go through because being a producer today is just like being a singer or rapper- you need a brand, you need to be recognizable, and you need to be making content. That's also a good Segway.
Secondly, making it in music is HARD. There's no way around that. If you truly want to work in the music industry as a producer, you will most likely be a freelancer going from project to project. Sometimes business will be great with a lot of work, cool things to do, and a lot of fun music making. Other times will be slow and not much money will be coming in. You need to be ready for that. Everyone else was focused on a music career itself and while that is important, there's something else that's even more important: saving and making your money work for you. Invest, save as much as you can, and attack from all different angles- not just production. Mix for people, master music for people, offer to record or help with the recording process. Do everything you can in the industry to get people's attention.
To answer your other questions I'll copy and paste your question and put my answer. Keep in mind, everyone's journey in music is different. If you want a similar experience as me, do something similar but by no means am I saying that the way I did this is the only way.
Who did you reach out to when you started out?
No one. I was too scared to ask anyone for help or for feedback. I treated every single comment trying to help me as hate and didn't accept anything people said unless it was nice. That was single handedly the worst mistake I made since I started building a career in music. However now, I reach out to everyone I can. I've DMed, emailed, commented, mentioned, requested, and basically every other social media or contacting kind of thing to so many people and companies that I've lost count. Rejection is something I just had to get used to. Now, if I find someone I want to work with or see a potential opportunity- I JUMP on it to try to get a gig or make a connection.
Who did you learn from?
The shorter answer would be to the question who DIDN'T I learn from? Here's the thing- the way I developed my techniques and learned how to produce quality tracks was from many many many different people. I watched Andrew Huang and other music YouTube channels and watched what they did and tried what they did in my own music. I listened to popular songs (even if I hated the artist or the song) and tried to figure out how to make something similar. I even watched every single one of those Genius interviews with producers breaking down their work so much that I have many of them memorized. I watched interviews, read articles, and talked to people once I came out of my skin. While doing all of this, I also was an Audio Production and Music Business student and had two mentors showing me techniques for mixing, mastering, recording, producing, and even live sound. Like I said, my experience is different from others but every single one of those things I did contributed to how I learned. While school was how I got access to equipment to try out what I saw or read about, everything I actually know came from hours of study, trial and error, and a lot of work. I like to say that I have a degree in Audio and Business but I'm a self taught music producer because school did not teach me my process. School didn't even teach me networking. School gave me the confidence that I could do what I wanted to do because of the support around me and the encouragement from my mentors.
What is Networking like?
Embarrassing somethings. Rewarding sometimes. Scary sometimes. It all depends. I've networked with a lot of people online- that's how I've gotten a lot of collaborators and how I work with most of them. That came from research, talking, and finally- getting the email and social media. This is how I started networking and is the main way I continue. Because of networking, even though it was scary, I have been able to work with gold and platinum producers, have well known producers following me on Instagram, and have sent beats to some of the top artists. While nothing of mine has placed with big artists yet, I can accurately say that when it happens, it happened because of networking.
Here's the thing about networking- it can happen anywhere and be anything. Part of the reason why I made the investment to go to school for music is because I wanted to network. Networking is just talking. Showing people you are good at what you do and that you can add value to a project or idea. Even my non-production or mixing jobs came from networking (besides 1 of them).
Hope this helps!

Hi Grace!
Most music producers today are independents, working from home. According to the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the national average salary for a music producer is $49,130 per year . Currently, nearly 56,000 music producers are working in the U.S. As far as working for someone else (like a Label) as a producer, there are only an estimated 2,700 job openings projected in the field over the next decade. So there is definitely a focus on being an Indy producer working for yourself.
The job market site Indeed recently published an article about becoming a music producer. You should read through it as it makes some good points - but that's not the whole story. They're mostly just talking about those formal job openings and not so much about being a producer from home. Here's the link: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-become-a-music-producer#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20United%20States,field%20over%20the%20next%20decade.
As far as becoming a home-based music producer with your own studio, there are lots of articles and videos about the topic. Here are a couple from Kris Bradley, a singer/songwriter who became a producer/entrepreneur. I've taken some of her courses and they're pretty good - she talks fast, but as her training is in video form you can always replay them to pick up on what you missed. There are lots of other great music production courses and providers out there on their own websites and on YouTube for you to explore - Kris is just one of them. Some others I like and have taken courses from are Aubrey Whitfield, Bobby Owsinski, Warren Huart, and Sara Carter among others. Some of the courses are expensive, some are more affordable, and some are free (like short Master Classes on specific topics).

I agree with Sowemimo and Isabel's answers also. The best way to get started is to immerse yourself in everything you can find on the topic. Join forums and social media groups about music production and about whichever Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) you decide to use. Listen to lots of different kinds of music and figure out which genres you prefer. If you sing or play an instrument, practice on getting as skilled with those as you can. You could join a band, take Choir or Glee Club at school, or try out for local music competitions. Take some basic courses in music / music theory, songwriting, and arranging. Then start thinking about setting up your home studio and getting your gear together and begin making some music. Try your hand at each of the steps in the production process: Songwriting, Arranging, Recording, Comping & Editing, Mixing, Mastering, and Distribution. Take some courses and/or read some books on music production. Bobby Owsinksi has several useful books on Producing, Recording, Mixing, and Mastering that are available on Amazon physically and on Kindle. Robin Frederick has some great books on Songwriting and also YouTube videos. The more you learn and try for yourself the better.
Also, I don't want to discourage you from trying to get a job with a label or studio - because those jobs do exist, however few they may be. Getting into that business is not as easy and involves (as you've already deduced) meeting and working with people that are already in the business. In order to do that, you kind of have to be in one of the major areas where they are. In Houston, the major ones are probably Soundvibe, Studio 713, and Sugar Hill. While according to their websites, none of them appear to be directly hiring - you could contact them (send a message on their websites), tell them you're a local student interested in Music Production and ask if you could get a tour and find out more about their processes and services. It could be a an interesting experience for you. Here's an article about studios in Houston: https://www.musicgateway.com/blog/recording-studios/best-recording-studios-in-houston . Of course cities like Dallas, Nashville, and LA also have plenty of studios and connections with Labels - Here's an article from last year about that: https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/10-best-recording-studios-in-dallas-fort-worth-8727142
It's wonderful that you're leaning toward a career in Music Production, and that you have your whole life in front of you to do it! Good luck on your journey - you're going to do great!

Cristian’s Answer
Starting in music production at first can seem overwhelming. Especially the graphical interfaces of DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation), which are the programs in which we music producers move, can seem like a challenge to understand. But really it is much easier than it seems. It's all about getting a good source of guidance, of which fortunately there are now many on the internet, even if you can't afford them. Proof of this are the thousands (and perhaps millions) of tutorials that abound on YouTube.
Indeed, the most important thing is mainly to create a good knowledge base, and the rest will practically happen on its own after that, as long as you put in the effort.
So don't be afraid to review all the information available, even the contradictory, because as long as you have the basics you will be able to discern what is right from all the information, and so you can start your journey without much complication, and who knows, maybe you will become a great music producer in the future.

Hello Grace!
How to Get Started as a Music Producer
Getting started as a music producer can be an exciting yet daunting journey. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the initial steps, gain experience, and build a network in the music industry.
1. Understand the Basics of Music Production
Before diving into production, familiarize yourself with fundamental concepts:
Music Theory: Understanding scales, chords, and song structure will enhance your ability to create compelling music.
Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs): Learn how to use popular DAWs like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, or Pro Tools. Each has its strengths and weaknesses; choose one that fits your style.
Audio Engineering: Basic knowledge of recording techniques, mixing, and mastering is crucial. Online courses or tutorials can provide foundational skills.
2. Gain Practical Experience
Experience is key in music production:
Start Producing Your Own Music: Create original tracks or remixes. This practice helps you develop your sound and hone your technical skills.
Collaborate with Other Musicians: Reach out to local artists or friends who play instruments or sing. Collaborating allows you to learn from others while building your portfolio.
Volunteer for Projects: Offer your production services for free or at a reduced rate to gain experience. This could include working on demos for local bands or helping friends with their recordings.
3. Build Your Portfolio
As you create music:
Document Your Work: Keep track of all projects you work on, even if they are unpaid. A diverse portfolio showcasing different genres and styles will attract potential clients.
Share Your Music Online: Use platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or YouTube to share your tracks. Social media can also be a powerful tool for gaining visibility.
4. Networking in the Music Industry
Networking is essential for growth:
Attend Local Shows and Events: Meet musicians and other producers at concerts, open mics, or industry events. Engaging in conversations can lead to collaboration opportunities.
Join Online Communities: Participate in forums such as Reddit’s r/WeAreTheMusicMakers or Facebook groups dedicated to music production where you can ask questions and share experiences.
Connect with Local Studios: Reach out to recording studios in your area; many are open to interns or assistants looking to learn.
5. Learning from Others
Finding mentors can accelerate your learning:
Seek Out Experienced Producers: Look for producers whose work you admire and reach out via social media or email. Many are willing to offer advice if approached respectfully.
Take Courses or Workshops: Enroll in online courses from platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or MasterClass that focus on music production techniques taught by industry professionals.

Do you already have any platforms, so you are able to showcase your music? If not then I recommend sites such as reverb nation, SoundCloud, Spotify, and many others. You would need to know how to use a digital audio workstation(daw). Keep practicing and you'll get better !! Have a good day !!
