Mixing/Mastering / What are the biggest mistakes you see novice producers commonly make?
« on: March 30, 2016, 09:32:03 pm »
What big mistakes have you seen novice producers make often, and what tips do you have to help them improve?

This thread is a followup to my (wildly successful) first question thread in which I asked "What are the top three tips that you'd give to a producer with less experience?" This thread managed to receive more than fifty different responses that all offered great insight and advice. If you would like to check out this thread, you may do so here.

I'd love to see what expertise you guys have in store this time. Thanks!

I don't think this is the same Holograph that's registered on this forum, but this is a remix that's been going around for a couple of weeks now. This is the only track on their account, but it's already over 13.5K plays.

What do you guys think?

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / What noise-isolation earplugs do you guys use and/or recommend?
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:28:33 pm »
I'm planning on getting some earplugs for a show I'm going to next month.

I've been looking at Thunderplugs, which claim to block out about 19-20db while mostly preserving sound quality. They're in a good price range for me, as they're under $25 USD for a reusable set.

I'm sure some of you have experience with earplugs, and I'd like to hear what brands you've used and whether you would recommend them!

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / What are the top three tips that you'd give to a producer with less experience?
« on: January 07, 2016, 03:40:45 am »
I'm relatively inexperienced with music production, but I have started devoting more time than ever into music, and I think there are a lot of people on here with some very good knowledge that could be useful to others, even if it isn't useful to me. Experience level doesn't really matter, because we can all learn from each other!

I think this thread could live on, staying useful for a while, so here's they way this should work:

1. The first and most useful tip you have for any producer, new or experienced. If it's specific to a DAW or a VST plugin, be sure to make note of that. If it requires any other prior knowledge, mention that, too.

2. Any other tips you might have! Don't feel restricted by the "top three" in the title, that's just a recommendation!

3. You know what I value more than materialistic things? Knowledge.

I'd like to hear what general tips you have for me, and for everyone else on this forum!

Thanks,
- Noah

EDIT: I'm really glad this thread took off, both in it's original location in Sound Design, and it's current location! I've seen replies from producers I've followed and respected in the past, and I've read even more from some of you who I'm interested in, now! I'll have to start another thread in this format and see what else you guys know! I might make a video or something (once this thread eventually dies down) to collect some of the best advice you've given here! I've been checking back frequently and I've read some tips in particular that really struck with me. Thanks again for making this thread such a success, and for both of the times it's been pinned! We're currently almost at 50 replies, all of which contain useful input!  :)
