Jack Conte describes this process of giving yourself as many different options to choose from/possibilities as "the funnel". Good advice for any creative project! Or things like job applications! Apply to 20 different jobs, five actually get back to you, two actually end up interviewing you, and one ends up hiring you. Doing the smallest amount of effort possible sets you up for the smallest probability of success.

Amazing advice, as always. One strong sound is always better than layering 10 average sounds.
@drydessert4198 Жыл бұрын
More options do not always lead to a better result. The limiting factor is probably experience. When you are not experienced enough to know quickly wether the alternative sound that you just picked will work well for you in the final track, then more options can make you even more unsure. What I would recommend is bouncing out the idea with different sounds, perhaps even 10 to 20 versions, then closing the project for now and listen to the versions back a couple days later (at least 3 days, better 1-2 weeks or even more, the longer the better). At that point in time you may find it easy to pick a favorite.

Dope! That’s why I think it’s great to send over your stems to a mixing engineer who is not attached to certain stems and can judge the track with unbiased ears.

I would say thats not even mixing because he is replacing the sounds, I might be wrong but I would say he is co-producing the track (and mixing it).
@kaisersnap Жыл бұрын
@@BurnBabylon_Selecta You are right. He is doing more than just “mixing”. But instead of working with heavy processing on a sound it can be wise to replace it with a more suitable sound. Call it what you like. I think it is an effective way to collaborate.

the greatness of a producer cab be measured by how much he can get out of as few tracks as possible.

Not entirely true. A better measurement is how cohesive a track is even with a bunch of tracks. Some tracks that sound so simple are actually very dense arrangements.

Simple yet sick advice. Everything that was needed to make the song great was pretty much already there in the original demo, but the way you honed and focused it ramped it up several notches. The advice is presented in a way that I feel like I could easily apply it to my own demos. Thanks!

Night and day difference! That advice about "feeling" the background synths instead of hearing it especially hit home. I was surprised at how harshly low cut they were, almost like they were coming out of a phone. I didn't think you could get away with that, but it really does work.

So basically change out every sound that is important so it fits and do a complete new mix for it. Your core idea is absolutely right and super important, but your example is not the representative of what can happen, if you just follow those steps. You basically rewrote the most important parts. The drum groove has a complete new feel to it as well.

Awesome stuff, Big Z. I'm working with rock music right now and that means sometimes the focus is on different elements, but the overall advice still holds up: when producing a demo into finished song, identify the hooks and bring them out. It's useless to obsess over guitar tone or the sound of the snare if the overall song doesn't work.
