This is my first post here so greetings to all of you.
I'm recently got interested in music production and being a avid DnB listener I though I'd try making some of my own. In addition to learning to use my DAW (Ableton demo), I've watched a ton of tutorials and read a bunch of stuff etc. but I still have a few burning questions:
1. How can I learn the intricaties of DnB structure & arrangement? What is the established way to arrange tracks and, in general, what parts and sounds is it comprised of? I know there is a lot of creative freedom involved, but there has to be a standard of some sort for these things, right?
2. Where could I learn more about the terminology? I can't understand the lingo, like what are subbass, pads, atmos, sidechaining, compressing etc.
3. Should I buy better better audio hardware? A soundcard, MIDI keyboard etc.?
Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance.
