Now, let's break down 10 Tips to Become a Better Music Producer
1. Connect with the Musicians
Getting artists, singers, and musicians so show their emotions through their music is something that you need them to accomplish and it will only happen if they feel comfortable around you as a producer.
2. Be Familiar with the Process
You will be guiding the music in the best direction possible based on yours and the musician's vision and even working with the mixing/mastering engineer in the final stages of the project.
3. Know Your Space
Know the dynamics of the room. Know where all your equipment is. Know how sound interacts with your room.
4. Listen to the Mistakes you Make
Whether they were happy accidents that worked out or mistakes that truly weren't in your best interest, go back and listen to them. What have you learned since then and how can you apply that information moving forward?
5. Receive Feedback
Honest feedback that is constructive, not sugarcoated, is invaluable. Especially from a source that understands music production.
6. Work with What You Have
There will always be someone who has access to more exceptional and expensive equipment than you, so the sooner you can disassociate higher grade equipment with naturally superior talent, the better off you are.
7. Become Your Own Best Marketer
Utilize Facebook groups, social media, business cards, ads, google my business, posters and flyers, and networking to your advantage.
8. Don't Get Paralysis by Analysis
Don't let imperfection or fear of "finishing" a track or song stop you from promoting and getting your craft out there into the world.
9. Know Your "Why"
Why did you decide to become a music producer? What motivates you? When a track falls flat or a musician cancels a session at the last second, what will keep pushing you forward?
10. Be Professional
Getting your name out there and meeting people in the business is also a great way to become a better music producer. It’s almost a guarantee that you will learn something, even in the smallest way.
You will also want to respect the studio time given to you. Be diligent with scheduling studio time and showing up with enough time to prepare for the session.
