Music Production and Its Inner Gears

Music production, it can be a very complex and difficult task, yet it is essential to music(because you can’t make something out of nothing - unless you’re quantum mechanics). Music production is the act of composing and creating music using various instruments/sounds. Sometimes people do it completely from scratch, sometimes people remix other songs to create new ones, and sometimes people will do a mixture between the two along with some sampling.

Typically this is done in a kind of DAW/Digital Audio Workstation program, which has the capability of rendering sounds, putting them together, and generation of new ones. Generally, there are three kinds of DAWs (although they could be further divided to into subtypes), these being as follows:
Modular DAWs (extremely customisable to the musician’s preference down to the smallest bits),
regular generic DAWs (somewhat customizable, features support for digital instruments, a majority of the tools a musician might need usually looking something like the image to the right - FL Studio),

or a tracker (focused on quick, easy, and efficient music production, mainly with just the keyboard, designed to get the job done, like the image to the left - OpenMPT).

Once the song itself is made, it then has to get published out into the wider world, nowadays this is as simple as going onto a music website such as bandcamp and clicking the “add” button and then uploading your song for the whole world to listen to (if you had a large enough audience for it that is).
