From getting started to releasing your track, KreisKlang’s new tutorial breaks down the entire music production journey.

Getting started in music production can feel overwhelming with new software, unfamiliar technology, and you can easily end up in YouTube rabbit holes. That’s exactly the issue KreisKlang aims to address with their latest video, ‘Music Production 101 – Master Sound Design, Mixing, and Mastering in FL Studio’. The video was created in partnership with RouteNote and is out now on the hugely popular freeCodeCamp YouTube channel. 

A beginner-friendly guide to music production

KreisKlang’s tutorial is designed with beginners and self-taught producers in mind. The video offers a complete end-to-end guide to music production. It introduces the core theory behind music production, such as melody creation, mixing, mastering, and distribution, before applying them in a real-world project inside FL Studio.

From there, you’ll watch a track come together from scratch, how you can distribute it to streaming platforms with RouteNote, and how to collect your royalties. Effectively, it covers both the creative and business sides of music. 

Crucially, the focus is on making the video as beginner-friendly as possible. The tools used are accessible so that anyone can get started, regardless of budget or experience. That includes using KreisKlang’s very own Fabrik, a node-based synthesizer plugin that makes modular sound design both powerful and beginner friendly. 

Where RouteNote comes in

Just like RouteNote, KreisKlang’s goal is to empower new creatives to create and release music independently, without the need for a big budget or studio setup. So, if you’re thinking about releasing your first track, RouteNote can help you to get your music onto major platforms everywhere for free today!
