I’d like to make music, techno, electronic music, beats, whatever you want to call it. How can I start easily? I remember that I made some basic beats 15 years ago. It was straight forward but I can’t remember the software. I tried a couple of DAWs but they have a steep learning curve and I couldn’t find good introductory videos about it. It’s incredibly hard to create just a baseline for me.

To narrow it down, I’m on linux, I spend most of the time with zrythm. Any advice or help into the right direction would be highly appreciated :)

    Just remembered that Bitwig also exists. It seems it is quite popular DAW and also kinda similar to Ableton (IIRC it was created by some former Ableton employees), so there should be a lot learning resources for that and it runs natively on Linux. It also comes with a library of sounds and MIDI clips AFAIK, just like the other comments pointed out. The downside is that it’s a paid software.

      To add to this, I use Bitwig on Linux and it is really nice. MIDI controllers pretty much just work and when I was swapping between Jack/Pulseaudio/Pipewire, things worked within a few clicks. Finding help for it online is really easy, as well.
