What to Expect

 

The 100 tips are organised into key areas of music production, so you can quickly jump to the section that matches what you’re working on. Here’s a breakdown:

 

Common Production Questions

From getting started on your first projects, to defining your sound as a seasoned producer, we know the questions that are constantly popping up, and we've got you covered. 

 

 

Sampling

Learn how to find, rip, and stretch out samples creatively while keeping them clean in the mix. Make your samples sound fresh and unique with these simple tips.

 

 

Drums & Mixing Drums

Drums are the heartbeat of your track. These tips cover how to select punchy sounds, layer kicks and snares for maximum impact, and use EQ/compression to boost the backbone of your sound.

 

Chords & Melody

Struggling with writer’s block? This section gives you fresh ways to approach chord progressions, melodies, and music theory, helping you create emotional, memorable music. 

 

Bass & Mixing Bass

Bass is often the trickiest part to balance. Too quiet and it disappears, too loud and it muddies the mix. We’ll show you tricks, techniques, and sound design tips to give your low-end punch without overpowering.

 

 

Vocals & Vocal Processing

Vocals can be the star of a track. In this section, you’ll learn how to capture clean takes, polish with compression, add subtle effects like reverb and delay for professional shine, and even add layers and backing vocals to further elevate your sound.
 

 

Sound FX

The secret weapon of pro tracks often lies in the little details: risers, sweeps, glitches, and FX that glue sections together. We’ll show you creative ways to experiment with your tracks, adding ear candy without cluttering your mix. 

 

Song Arrangement

Knowing where to place drops, bridges, and breakdowns can make or break your track. Here we cover common arrangement formulas, knowing where to start, and strategies for keeping listeners engaged from start to finish.

 

Mixing Songs

Even with great sounds, a poor mix can hold you back. This section teaches you how to achieve depth with reverb and panning, using EQ to cut, parallel mixing strategy and many more practical tips you can implement easily. 

 

 

​​The Extra 10%

Sometimes the difference between good and great lies in tiny tweaks, in tips and techniques that don't fit into any one category. From making your own synth presets, to working faster in your DAW, this section gives you the finishing moves to move your tracks into professional territory.
