Save Hundreds of Hours By Avoiding these Beginner, Intermediate and Professional Mistakes!
In this video I'm going to show you the biggest 15 mistakes every beginner intermediate and professional music producers make.
Some of the mistakes we will be looking at will include printing out DAW shortcuts to have in front of you, find other musicians to work with or shadow, learn some basic music theory both in rhythm and melody, learn how to write song structure including a verse and chorus, learn how to use automation, learn how to use buses in your DAW, follow your ears and not your eyes, don't overmix, record some real sounds, chop up samples, be careful with your external storage and doubling up project locations, learn how to promote your music production business, document your music creation, practice getting onto spotify playlists and local radio, and make sure that you are looking out for mistakes that you make.
I really hope this video helps you in your own music production journey!

What mistake would you add to this list? 🤔

Not knowing that you can curve the automation in logic 🤦‍♂️😭 is there a chance you can make a video or already have one on this? Even if it’s just a short on how to switch it from a line to a curve. I’ve been just using latch and kind of performing my automation while playing the tracks to get more interesting results but, being able to use that curve would speed things up

Not saving every project you start, no matter what's in it. Every once in a while reopen projects from some time ago. A meaningless silly 4 bar loop you made a year ago, could be the spark you need to finish it or make a new song. Or sometimes you find it was not good any way. In that case delete it, and save yourself some drive space. win win 😉

Something I learned from someone I collaborated with is to take a break from the mix and meditate or just chill while hearing the mix in your mind. This is especially handy for coming up with new melodies or section ideas. Also learned to keep pushing with new ideas and variations of the groove, melody, etc. and save them on the outskirts of the main mix. They can be brought in later or used as ideas for completely different tracks.

"The best way to learn is to teach": this is so true! I learnt parking well my car only when I was teaching it to my girlfriend. Having to explain something forces you to thoroughly think things through and discover its essence. In the programming community there is the common advice to have a rubber duck sitting on your desk to which you then explain the problem you are facing. (Having a colleague you can talk to is much better of course.)

Music is art. When it is a solo effort, especially, there is no wrong, just what sounds good to YOU. Its your art. Now if your trying to commercialize it, and that is your goal, your art will always reflect that goal and can sometimes make the process a grind. Instead, let your art be your art, if it hangs it hangs, if it falls it falls. At least you will never be wrong, and always enjoy the creation process and your art.

Learn the 3D aspect of mixing. Don't just use volume to make things more prominent or obscure in a mix - learn to use reverb, compression, panning and other tools to consciously place elements where they fit best to suit the material. Thinking of music recordings as a 3D exercise rather than a 2D loudness war will allow you to put the listener in the place where the song is happening, rather than just having it come at them.

I appreciate that you reached out to others for their perspectives! I think my biggest pro tip I could give anyone that is serious about producing or mixing is by taking a class. (Preferably paid for and if they have well establishes courses) in my classes for example, they critique my mixes every month which is almost vital for my learning. KZbin is great at giving you the information for free, but because there's so much abundance of info, its almost impossible to get a proper timeline constructed for learning.

Important: Be nice to everybody, in fact be extra nice to people who may not be your cup of tea. It’s a tough game, and insecure or competitive people *will* try to tear you down if you’re making anything good. So you need to not be an easy target for other peoples’ hater tendencies. How do you do that? Be kind and low-key treat everyone like they’re a friend, even if they’re new or don’t seem ‘important.’ You know: be a decent human being. 😉 Also. Treat socializing like work if you’re a musician. Don’t get sloppy drunk at a club and do something upsetting; this is your workplace.

One thing no one ever seems to talk about is how much time is spent scrolling left and right in a track. It's much faster to use a 360 scrolling mouse. I use the Mighty Mouse from Apple but Microsoft makes the Arc which does pretty much the same thing. It saves loads of time instead of clicking and dragging or using the track pad.

Judicious use of saving and discarding. When first starting out the tendency is to want to keep every peep and meow that gets laid down. Save everything at first yes, but remember to go back and weed out that which is not worth keeping. Just went through and am still curating 12 years of 'save everything no matter what it is.' over 600 files later I can safely say: learn to be your own best friendly critic and sensibly decide to keep what's worth archiving for the future value and discarding oppsies and junk. Along those same lines, learn to build and reuse templates. I guess this applies to those of us in the symphonic field especially where we end up building large templates with lots of orchestral palettes only to discover there's only so much space in the virtual stage for a limited number of sounds. Eight French horns, six trombones, 3 tubas?! Really? However, having the right vibes from sampled sounds is critical for me as I'm moved to quite writr off if the sampled sound strikes me as cheesy or something akin to a ballet dress on a monkey. Stay in your lane as to which genres you're familiar with and producing for. For example, I'm not familiar enough with most of the popular styles (reggae, blues, Afro-Cuban, Funk, Hip-hop, Heavy Metal) so I'm staying with songs written in the Broadway musical style along with Classical influences.

Master the key of C and then pitch it up and down? What about all the modes? Only ever using the Ionian (Major) mode can lead to melodies and chord progressions sounding predictable and bland. There are lots of videos on KZbin that can teach you all about modes and I highly recommend watching them.

Ngl, idk how people have trouble wit this stuff… If ur using headphones, you need to know them well. If you don’t, the mix will sound different depending on where you play it. Like a friends car. You should know how the frequencies act with the headphones. Also, no one hears with their eyes. Don’t pay attention to visuals (especially with EQ). When you compress dynamics, it’s almost impossible to make it normal again. When it comes down to it, people need to actually put the work in. Its extremely easy to recognize talent vs amateurs. If you think ear training, music theory and other necessary things for making music are boring and you skip it, I highly suggest you give up the thought of you making it “Big”. It won’t happen. Have fun doing what ur doing of course, but making a living will be extremely complicated and unnecessary.

Dude... begin by using a pop filter on your microphone in order to avoid those "booop" sounds, and engage the low shelf filter on the mic. That should be enough. If not: Eq Down everything below 75hz
