How to make electronic music

There are 4 main elements to electronic music, (or any music for that matter). They are the drums, the bass, the melody, and vocals. There are a lot of different styles of electronic music that do not have vocals in them aswell so if you can't sing (like me), it doesn't matter.
In this lens I will explain briefly what these elements usually involve and how you can piece them together. Check out MY OTHER SITE for more detailed descriptions!
My main aim of this lens is to show as many people as possible that ANYONE can begin to create awesome music in the comfort of their own home with a setup as simple as a computer and headphones or speakers. Hope you enjoy!

Making electronics beats can be really quite simple. A typical beat consists of a bass drum (also known as the kick drum), a snare drum, some toms, and some hi hats and cymbals. Experimenting with different combination's of these musical elements will result in a beat being made. Every electronic music creation program will have some sort of component in it, generally known as a drum machine, which will enable you to piece these sounds together to make some awesome beats with ease.
Most people have no idea how to do these kinds of things, and think that you need to be a professional musician or a computer wizz, Which is simply not true. Check out the cool contraption in the pic of whats called a drum pad! You can make any beat with these kinds of things and they are all included in the software ill show you so you don't need to go out and spend hundreds of $$$ on equipment!

The bassline is the most important element of an electronic song other than the drums. You can easily have an awesome song with just drums and bass, but its kinda hard to make an awesome song without any bass or without any drums. There's even a genre of electronic music called Drum and Bass!
The bass line is that low, deep sound you hear in any song. Be it hip hop, trance, house music, or any style at all, the bass line is the underlying vibration of the song. Sometimes bass lines are so low they are more of a vibration and are actually felt throughout the body as well as heard through the ears.
A killer bass line is an integral part of a great electronic song. There are many different ways to make a bass line. It all depends on the software you use. A lot of people hear bass line and think bass guitar. Believe it or not, more often the bass line in an electronic song is actually written on a keyboard rather than a bass guitar. So you don't need to go out and buy one of these ---------->>> Check out the program below to learn more!

The melody is the kinda the life or the brightness of a song. You can have an awesome song with just drums and bass, then when a melody comes in like a keyboard, guitar, or a synthesizer or anything like that, it makes the song sound whole and bright and fills it in to complete the song. A melody can be whatever you want it to be. It could be just a replication of the bass line formed with higher notes to make the bass not only deep and low but also high and full. Or the melody could be something totally different! Whatever you think sounds cool with the drums and bass is all it takes. If you like the sound of it and are happy, that's all that matters! Right? Right! So check out the program below and start pushing out awesome music today!
