Basic Music Production Tips

By Mick LLaleBeoufey

There are typically problems along the road of music production ; the majority of these holes can be avoid if the mixing beginner has some music production basics to help them at the start. Once a person that is new to music production knows the basics and knows the golden rules their educational process and overall education in this field will be at a far bigger level than people who jump straight in without knowing or reading anything. These are some useful tips :

Always back up all files that are required in you mix - before you sit down to start a mixture, ensure you have all of your audio files and arrangement files saved and backed up on something away from your PC. Be that an external drive, DVD / CD, memory stick or even on the web. Anything could happen, for example a virus infection, drive melt down or something else infinitely random.

Mix within a peaceful environment - you can't do any of the music production basics let alone mix if there is inappropriate noise going on around you. Even while using headphones it is not good as it is distracting.

You do not need extreme silence, though that might be nice. Just all of the noise must be in the background and not breaking your concentration. Never ever turn speakers up above a snug listening level to drown out or counter noise interfering with your ability to mix competently.



Listen though a track before mixing and write ideas down - I usually listen thru a track I am about to mix and write down ideas I have for the mixing direction. The foundation could come from express vocals / words or merely a feeling / idea I thought up in that moment of listening ; it is straightforward to put your ideas into practise when you know the music production basics.

It is always great to have an idea or direction of how you need the track to go. At this stage an idea would probably be formed anyway. When listening to the track for ideas wait at least 24 hours, or, if you're like me and / or you have the time on your hands wait longer and listen to it as fresh and forgetful as you can and base your mixing idea on the 1st impressions you get. - 18423
