Music Production
Write and produce your own tracks with a computer and software.
A laptop and a free or cheap digital audio workstation is genuinely enough to start producing music. It rewards curiosity and experimentation more than formal music theory knowledge.
Getting started
Start with a free DAW like GarageBand or a free tier of a paid one before buying gear.
