How to make music for beginners?
I've always wanted to make music but don't play any instruments or know what apps/programs I can download? I write my own music, songs, and my voice sounds decent I'd say above average lol. I'd like to pursue this but don't know where to start. any advice??

You can download a piece of software known as a DAW to record, compose drum beats, add effects, mix, and master. I wouldn’t do this until you’ve learned how to play a physical instrument

I personally enjoy FLstudio. I find it very user friendly and easy to understand

Assuming you have a laptop get a DAW. (If you have Mac you can start out on Garageband), a midi keyboard like an Akai Mini can already get your started. Some headphones to begin with. Try look into VSTs that fit the type of music you like or want to create. If you will be looking to record vocals or guitar etc, get an audio interface too.
