Knowledge Resources
« on: July 11, 2016, 04:11:01 am »
So I've found that sometimes I'm slumped midst working on a project and I've only learned so much. I feel like a lot of the times when I google something or youtube something it's the same watered down information.

Does anyone have any links or videos that they would like to share that helped further their overall workflow? I'm working on my first real project and I like how it's going, but the problem is some areas I feel like it's misssing something, I know WHAT it's missing, but every attempt I take at adding for instance a tom hit where it sounds like it should be placed from a musician's perspective, it just doesn't work.

That's just a small example of what I'm having issues with.. there's gotta be something I can read or watch out there to help me further my progress. Thanks in advance guys!

The biggest challenge of learning how to produce I think is that once you've learned the basics it becomes very hard to find what you're looking for via tutorial videos.


I've found some of the EDMprod/Cymatics courses to be valuable.

The paid ones. (Although I know nothing about the free ones)

For Cymatics it was specifically their "ableton projects collection." They have a collection of 30 songs in ableton which you can pretty much analyze/reverse engineer. Future Bass, Dubstep, and Trap I believe were the genres.

I don't even use Ableton but you can still view the files with the demo version of the software. It was basically a "Learn by Observing" type of thing. When you have 30 finished project files it's really easy to analyze a track vs just listening to the mp3. This type of analysis of finished project files I feel helped me out.

Also... I forgot to include Mix With The Masters. It's also paid but it's basically mixing tutorials from the worlds greatest mix engineers. It's not so much EDM based but the principles still apply across genres.
