For all my fellow blind music producers who use mobile, I got a crazy idea (self.Blind)
submitted by arsen_gevorgyan
Wassup yall! I was making a beat this afternoon and randomly thought about somethin. So I was thinking of doing music production/beatmaking tutorials, with being focused on 2 things.
1. Since I use garageband on an iPad, I'm kinda limited. But I'm always tryina achieve prophessional sounding work. And so I wanna help others who aren't able to afford expensive computers, daws and pro studio setups etc get the same result.
2. When I was just getting started, sometimes tutorials for certain things were not blind friendly. And so I want my tutorials to be catered towards blind and V.I. producers.
For some more context, the genres I make are Hip-Hop (trap, drill, west coast, rage, and boom-bap once in a while), R&B (mostly club oriented), reggaeton (traditional and what is called trapéton), and some afrobeat too. So the tutorials will be focused on these genres.
Tell me what yall think. Thank yall.

Hijacking this thread to shoutout Reaper. Probably one of the best professional and fully accessible daws out there along with Logic. Also, they let you demo reaper indefinitely with no strings attached so it's basically free. And if you want to buy a license, it's only 60$ which is way cheaper than the other options out there

I use reaper as my digital audio workstation. Now, if that were for the iPad as well, I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Hey man don’t know if you remember me it’s been a while yeah that seems like a really good idea I like somebody else said I would check out the icy music people buy when the guy who runs it is really cool and chill or just posting it on a podcast or some thing or maybe a YouTube channel would be cool also sorry I never got back to you not actually super active on Reddit but I’m on Discord a lot it’s practically my life if you ever want to chat on there

TY for the feedback my dude. Could you DM me your discord?

You could put them up in podcast form. Do you add plugins and effects in garage band? What synths have you found that work with it?
I See Music is an organization that trains music producers and audio engineers on windows and mac audio software. They are definitely missing some mobile audio stuff. Maybe look into them and see if they would let you teach a course on this stuff?
Alternately, you could put up a website similar to Logic.band or reaperaccessibility.com to provide this service to the community.

Thank you for the idea. Doin a full course ain't really some that I can do at the moment (hello school), but a podcast is somethin good to think about

Woww I would check those out. I love messing around on garageband on iPad
arsen_gevorgyan [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Now my only issue is where I'm gonna post them and in what format

Hey man
​
Sounds pretty good, although I make music on Logic and Maschine on the Mac. I would be curious to see what the workflow is like beat making on mobile.

Appreciate the feedback

Maybe you could also go over how you use the software as well a lot of people seem to be asking for that.
arsen_gevorgyan [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Well obviously that's gonna be one of the focuses on the tutorials
TechnicalPragmatist 1 points 1y ago
That’s good because many people have said they don’t know how to use it and that stuff. I think they can produce or want to fidget around but the inability to use the software or don’t know how. I think there’s a real need for that type of content and to show people.

Well I think I already have a general idea in mind on how I'll do the tutorials. Proly will be a podcast, with a few segments for the episode. First I'll probbably cover how to use a specific feature or do a specific thing in the daw (starting with the basics of course), then talk about different plugins and stuff, and then will demonstrate what I covered in an actual project from scratch. And then after a while I'll do genre deep dives and all that good stuff

Tht makes sense. For sure. That will be useful I think.

I would watch that! I use reaper but it would be cool to get back into garageband again for when my computer ran out of battery.
