nipper producing place your monitors at ear height to hear your mix properly break quote unquote rules for example kashmir added a freaking delay to a kick in the track and it sounded awesome one of the more novel tricks that i used on the song was to actually put a delay on the kick add eq after saturation because saturation adds harmonic frequencies and as a pro producer i gotta say man you need to tune your kick shut up a kick is like a transient thing or maybe not for reload do whatever sounds the best increase the reverb in your build up for more tension reduce the stereo width and

favorite sample packs when you get a project you want to finish organize and color it do you like a certain effect chain you made for a lead save the entire effect chain and use it later learn the most essential shortcuts for your daw so you work faster especially the shortcuts for the piano roll since that's where you'll spend a lot of time also control s is a great shortcut back up everything you've made to an external hard drive seriously don't know how to make music in a certain genre download project files on the genre and study how it's made download my sample pack it's free remember that silence is also an instrument even super aggressive songs needs kind of silent parts to give contrast to the aggressive parts less is more sometimes at least reverse sounds for more natural transitions for transient heavy instruments add pre-delay to the reverb for a cleaner transient next time you're layering instead pick wildly different sounds and you might come up with something completely unique finish a large quantity of projects rather than just a few high quality projects you have because studies have proven you become better and learn faster by doing that try out all the different stock targets you've never used you'll be surprised what you can find if your drums sound boring or flat that's adding some swing use distortion as a sound design event add pitch slides to your leads white noise can add fullness and excitement did you love the chord progression in another song steal it did you love the rhythm in another song steal it did you love the melody in another song see i'm kidding don't steal melodies but maybe study how it was made and take inspiration collaborate get really freaking good at just one synth instead of trying to learn multiple different sims before you open your daw think of a theme for your song and try to pick a sound palette that fits it make your own unique presets fine tune the note length and your music will sound a lot better adwords sounds to make your music more unique [Applause] [Music] instead of using an entire loop consider using multiple loops and split them up so you get your own unique loop [Music] instead of

blog is that you have a need for perfection you can always write trash music put drum samples off a b to make it more interesting try to remake your favorite songs it's a great way to learn use atmospheric sounds you can barely hear to make it more group interesting tracks into one bus then add effects to that bus and all those tracks will sound more unified you don't need expensive equipment or plugins to make professional quality music if you know how to balance your mixes with volume and panning and also how to properly use the eq reverb and compression you will know everything you need to make professional quality mixes your best mixing tool is your volume faders practice you will like to sound more if it's louder so if you're unsure if an effect actually makes your sound better make sure the volume is the same when you turn it on and off [Music] if you're still unsure close your eyes and spam the bypass button so you don't know if it's on or off then start comparing again and you made the fairest comparison ever sound selection is way more important than mixing and mastering if you pick high quality sounds it will almost sound professional before the
