As a composer, I would like to introduce some resources if you guys want to know what I am watching for learning, software.

Learning

Rick Beato

This is a awesome YouTuber that teach you basically everything you need to be a good musician, including music theory, song analyses, ear training, musician interview, music production…etc

There is a lot more then I mentioned above, so check it out!

12Tone

This a good YouTuber that visualise music theory, it makes the music theory a lot easier to understand.

These two YouTubers are the main resources that I have used for my learning, other than that is a matter of song listening and applying knowledge.

Software

FL Studio

I use FL studio to produce music, I think FL studio is good because it a life time product, it has some good feature that attracts me, such as it support both Microsoft windows and MacOS, it gives me the flexibility to transfer files between window and MacOS, also it has a wide range of plugin which is very useful for me, one of the important feature is FL studio support third-party plugin, which gives me even more plugin options I can use for my music production.

MuseScore

It is a music scoring software, I know there is a lot of scoring software I can use for scoring, but many of them are not free, but this one does, the free version of this software is more then enough for scoring, I strongly recommend this software.

This is all of the learning resource and software I am using, I am not going to talk about the hardware I use, because it is just some basic settings, a good computer, a midi piano, guitar, recording mic, but I will throw some of the model names out here anyway, just in case you guys need it:

• Midi Piano: AKAI MPK25 midi piano
• Recording Mic: VEGAS USB recoding mic
• Guitar: Portable acoustic guitar
