Tips21: Collaborate with specialist musicians to improve the sound
Working with session musicians can dramatically improve your music.This can be difficult to find, but I'm sure at least one person knows who plays the piano or guitar better than you.
Often, these people just work with you for fun, allowing you to explore deeper lyrics than you can do yourself.That's why we always use session musicians for our Cymatics packs.Imagine trying to create a trumpet loop yourself.
Tips22: Experiment with a contact microphone to capture interesting sounds
Contact microphones, also known as piezo microphones, are the cheapest way to record interesting sounds.
Basically, instead of recording pressure waves in the air like a regular microphone, contact microphones record vibrations.
Available on Amazon for as little as $ 5, these mics are great for recording guitars, percussion, and more.
Tips24: Treat the studio acoustically for cleaner results
Performing sound processing in a home studio doesn't have to be complicated, but it's very important.
The key to acoustic processing is to eliminate sound reflections from hard, flat surfaces.You can do this by adding furniture to rooms like sofas and bookshelves, or by adding thick blankets or rugs to the walls.
To prevent speakers and recordings from bouncing off the wall.
Tips27: Find a producer to work with someone who is more familiar than you
You are the average of the 5 people who are most dating you.Therefore, simply surrounding yourself with better people can make a big difference in your production.
Tips28: Study your speaker
Listen to music for at least 2,000 hours on the same speaker that makes the music.
Understanding speakers is more important than simply having a high-end speaker and not understanding how to use it.
Tips29: Crowd feedback is 100 times better than individual feedback
It's much better to play your music for many and see their reaction than to have one person tell you what's wrong and what's right in your song.
Tips30: Be careful not to study YouTube producers with bad habits
Just because someone has 100,000 followers doesn't mean they are good at producing.
Find videos from qualified people and try to make your favorite music.
(Hint: Probably not youtuber)
Tips31: Drag the entire song into your DAW to find out the structure of the song
There are many great formulas when it comes to properly structuring songs.
You can actually drag the full track onto your DAW's timeline to visualize how it looks at the waveform and composes your own song.
Tips32: Read DAW, VST, and software manuals
A huge amount of knowledge is hidden in the manuals that come with the music software.
In reality, less than 10 percent of producers actually take the time to read.
We recommend that you read these manuals carefully to gain a better understanding of how to use them properly.
Tips33: Social skills are essential for studio sessions
No matter how good the producer is, you'll be amazed at how important the atmosphere in the studio is.
If the artists don't like your mood, they don't want to work with you.
Tips34: Focus on providing good value when reaching out to others in the industry
It's not about sharing your songs / goals / stories, as most of these people only care about their brand.
Focusing on them will help you build better relationships in the future.
Tips35: Don't be afraid to partner with another producer or artist
Music projects can be a huge task, so splitting your work and finding a 50/50 profitable partner can help you not only actually maintain 100% yourself, but even more.
50% of large pies are better than 100% of small pies.
Tips36: Mix of phone and laptop speakers
Nowadays, music consumption is dominated by phones and laptops, so it's important to get the music to sound right first.
This sound testing method is much more important than "car testing".
