I'm the beginner guy with the new instrument every 4 bars 😂

Solid tips. These are things that are easy to ignore. Beginner produces will often focus on their sounds and mix while ignoring arrangement. Heck, even I need to be better about the first two tips (arrangements and transitions). Have fun everyone and make something you typically wouldn’t once in a while ;)

Bro already got me by that first tip 😭

[thedotsguy...]

Here is a tip i wish i would have known sooner:
less is often more

Human ear can only focus on 3 things at a time. So make only 3 main sounds for example: lead, bass, drums
And every other sound exists only to support them

Only one instrument can be in the same place in the freaquency spectrum. Meaning if you have to overly EQ to make it fit in, you have made a mistake.

And if you have to constantly add more stuff to ur track for it to sound good the core idea is bad. It needs to sound good in its most basic form.

Dont add reverb to every single mixing channel but makr one mixing channel for reverb and route all the instruments trought that channel for all the sounds to be in the same space. And also makes you have more control over the reverb

Dont get egotistical... be always ready to learn more. And dont judge other peoples work.

Gain staging is making sure the source signal is loud enough for the next plugin in its chain and not at all with its relation to other instruments. Back in the dawless days if you didn’t do this you would introduce a lot of noise to the final sound because there was always a noise floor with analog equipment.

Pro tip "do everything and then do something else", got it!

[farfromnorth]

This is true I’ve been recording and producing music for a decade now it’s only been the past year or so I’ve been confident in what I’m doing. In my experience the best thing to do is to work really hard mastering your skills for 2-3 year and then put it all to practice as much as you can. Work with musicians and get feedback from others. The BIG game changer too is to use reference tracks listen to the volume, width, tone everything and if the song is similar to the one you’re working on then copy it. Try to get your mix to sound as close as possible and then you will start to learn how to mix and master properly. From a creative point of view just try stuff, reverse guitar parts, automate a massive reverb on a vocal for one powerful word. Work hard and experiment, don’t think too much about it and if it sounds good it sounds good. Sending love from Glasgow ❤

Dude I always do the Introcuce a new instrument every 4 bars 😭😭

[chloeme]

And remember to make it your own. For example, if you personally like to listen to songs/beats that slowly build up (a new instrument every 2-4 bars for the intro) then do it like that.

Damn just called me out and I appreciate it thank you I will change how I do this! 😂

[Rice_Wolf]

I feel so called out about the new instrument every 4 bars thing ☠️

[Days-rujh]

I’m a beginner and literally have just been looping my sample all the way and adding every 4 bars 😅😭

[ashniyuni]

Not even 10 seconds in and I'm already called out

[Badfish]

That's not what gain staging is.

Gain staging is the process of making sure the audio is set to an optimal level for the next processor in the chain in order to minimize noise and distortion

[arttourbeats]

I agree, those things are most important 💪🙌

[chocolatebar]

“dont do the thing where you repeat and add a new instrument”

jazz, orchestral and rock musicians rn:

[AndOnlyEvie]

you didnt have to call me out like that 💀

[impermanence]

Solid tips. I'd say the introducing a new element with each measure thing, it depends on the genre. It's an essential part of post-rock, post-metal and atmospheric black metal. But in dance it could sound a bit lazy.

I been writing music for 23 years but thanks!

Beat arrangement is very key in music production 🔑
