What does is take to become a music producer?

Question by Deshay: What does is take to become a music producer?
Hello, my name is Deshay Ary Im a 19 year old male high school graduate. I reside in atlanta georgia and im interested in becoming a music producer as far as making beats for music artists. I was thinking about enrolling into a school that teaches hands on music producing. I have no idea what type of equipment i need or where to start from scratch..I just want to let people know how serious i am about this reason being is that i recently heard some of “9th Wonder’s”(a producing artist) work and i thought it was so fantastic how he sampled music. I need legitimate advice from upcoming experienced producers or people that know what would it take to be one…Thanks

You probably want to start off small, it’s a hard business to get into and most music productions schools only give you a certificate. Your connections to the music industry is the most efficient way to get a job unfortunately… As far as equipment goes, you need a good DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and a computer to produce tracks. Good DAW’s: ableton live, logic (only for mac), Reason, and more. read up on which DAW would be the best for you, and also invest in a MIDI keyboard and some decent monitors if you’re serious about this. I know It’s daunting, but worth it to learn
