Creative workflows and strategies for the everyday music producer, sound designer and artists.
🎵 Every song needs a focal point—something that draws the listener's attention.

Whether it's a vocal melody, a nasty bassline, or an unexpected sound design element, give your audience something to grab onto.

⚡ Parallel processing is your secret weapon.

Blend a heavily compressed/distorted signal with your dry signal. Works wonders on drums, vocals, and bass. Adds punch while keeping dynamics.

Try it on your next mix! 🔥

🌟 The intriguing often happens in the imperfections.

That slightly rushed snare hit, the breath before the vocal, the amp hum—these "flaws" can be what makes your track feel alive.

🎚️ Your monitors are lying to you—and that's okay

Learn their personality, reference on multiple systems, and always check your mix in the car

The best mix translates everywhere, not just in your studio

🎹 Stuck in a creative rut? Change your environment.

Switch DAWs for a day, use only hardware, write in a different room, or collaborate with someone new.

Fresh perspectives unlock fresh ideas.

✨ The space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves.

Don't be afraid of silence and negative space in your arrangements. Sometimes the most powerful moment is when everything drops out.

🎧 Compression isn't just about controlling dynamics—it's about adding character and glue to your mix.

Try this: Set a slow attack to let transients punch through, then adjust the release to taste.

🔥 Every great producer started with terrible beats. The difference? They kept going.

Your 100th beat will sound nothing like your 1st. Embrace the process. Never stop creating.

💡 Quick EQ tip:

Before adding, try subtracting. Cut the frequencies you don't need before boosting what you want to hear. Your mix will sound cleaner and more focused.

Less is more in the studio. ✨

To achieve this: Take a vocal phrase or instrument note and apply a large hall reverb. Render or bounce the wet reverb tail to audio. Reverse the new audio file and align it with the original sound.
