5 Music Production Tips You’d Be Thankful To Know

September 6, 2018

Music is above a matter of expression. When you listen to music, you are actually listening to that music’s author’s feelings and emotions. You can feel and understand the message behind the expression of those emotions, in a nutshell.

However, music production is made of techniques, as well. You can’t start composing a music piece without knowing the basic rules, scales, arpeggios, and other technical facts. Even the easiest music piece is made of scales – think for a moment of music that you like to listen to, for example, a cartoon song, a lullaby song, a relaxing music piece. Then, find the sheet music for that song and look at it carefully. You’ll find out that it’s all built on a specific scale and it encompasses the arpeggios related to that scale.

But certain music genres seem “free” from specific scales and arpeggios. For example, Jaxx music and lounge music. These two genres are popular for being a kind of improvised music (and that’s for sure why they could gain big success in the world) that comes out just without any plan or any written sheet music. In particular, lounge music owes its popularity to its calming effects on the listeners. It’s a soft, quiet, relaxing, calm music that sounds perfect for situations where you have to relax your mind and body, or you have to reach a high level of mental focus. Lounge music is often used in casino poker rooms as the poker players sitting at the tables need extreme mental concentration to find the best strategy to win the hand. Even online poker games are packed with a great lounge music background, but since the game is online you can also decide to turn the music off depending on your tastes. Sports Betting India guests a selection of today’s most recommended virtual casinos where you can find exceptional games, latest news from the world of sports, secured payment methods, and a 24/7 customer service for your questions. And, of course, if you want to try to a poker game, you can enjoy its superb lounge music background!

Learn The Essentials Of Music Production

Breaking out in the music industry is not that easy unless you have someone important to support you. You should be as determined as competent, and that might not be simple. Before you start launching your life into a new venture, make sure you are enough prepared to face it all. Grow your music knowledge, expand your competence, and skills.

Finally, take note of our experience-proven tips below:

  1. Define your visionmusic writing
    Becoming a music producer means starting a career and, as it happens in all careers, you must define your vision of what you want to do. Give a message to your music, be consistent with that message, and work to improve your skills and techniques.
  2. Location
    It’s probably the ever-unsolved problem for most musicians, especially for beginners. It’s hard to find a place where you won’t disturb anyone while singing or playing music. As a general rule, understand that you have to feel comfortable, no matter where you are. The better you feel in that place, the easier it will be for you to express your creativity through music. Professional studios might look a little “intimidating” and “cold” for beginners, so choose the corner where you feel at ease.
  3. No distractions
    Once you are in your “comfort zone”, explore the place around you and make sure there are no distractions that might disturb you while writing or playing. No phones, no computers, nothing else. Create the perfect environment to boost your creativity.
  4. Learn the techniques
    Inspiration, creativity, comfortable place are important as much as learning the right techniques to make a track. Pick the best software and learn how to use it. Start combining pieces of music, use reference tracks to learn mixing techniques, explore all the software functions.
  5. Don’t overwork
    Although you may be excited to show your first track to your fans, you should avoid forcing yourself to overwork. Take your time, respect the natural rhythm of your body and mind. Don’t follow those who say that true musicians have to work 6 hours a day. It’s insane! Work as much as you feel good for you. It’s not about the “quantity” of your work but its “quality”. You are not working in a factory!

Finally, be open-minded and accept to get inspired even by different music genres, you never know if they might work to give an extra hint. Review your work trying to be flexible about adjustments, the best thing would be to have someone trusted to judge your tracks and help you change what doesn’t sound good.
