New-Advice?
 

Hey. I learned my first instrument almost exactly a year ago. The ukulele. Now I play guitar and bass as well..and have began piano. I've been singing for a year..more serious now than ever. I've just recently got some decent recording equipment. Wish I had a set of drums. I've learned and grown so much in just the one year of all this. My voice shines best when I'm covering songs in a band (that is no longer together) but I'm in need to write something original. Advice! I'm learning different theory stuff.. I need advice on using a DAW program to make drum instrumentals for a song..but I'm so lost and cannot find tutorials..writing songs is hard..I've yet to complete one..any links to articles or videos with anything useful would be awesome.
I wish I could find a serious band!

Try the Artist subforum on these boards. Someone there may be able to help you.

It would really help to know what DAW you're using.

I'm using Ableton Live 9

Ok then. Here ya go:

oh yeah I love that guy, he has been helpful. I probably should clarify myself more too though. As far as music theory I guess you would call it. I was wondering exactly how drums fit into a song. Like Bass goes with guitar when you consider the root note? Right? I'm looking for info on like..the relationship..of drums..in a song..to the guitar..and the bass..and such. Melody..Harmony..Rhythm stuff..idk if im making any sense...guess im a newbie at music composition..

Ah, I see. A good friend of mine bought me this book, and (don't laugh) although I haven't read it, I did scan through it and found it to be somewhat handy.

Music Theory For Dummies Cheat Sheet - For Dummies

A good place to start anyway.

Thanks, won't be needing the book though! Still progressing...
