#Hypertips 1225: Make sure you have your studio monitors off your desk. This avoids creating extra vibrations in your room (which turns into extra sound). Using monitor stands or foam is ideal, or in a pinch, a stack of a few books works too.
#Hypertips 1224: Use tonal atmospheres in your track. Take the root note of the key of your track and find a cool pad or atmosphere preset. Then, just play the note continuously in the background. Keep it quiet, subtlety is key!
#Hypertips 1223: Take the time to learn about dynamic EQ. It's an incredible tool for cleaning up resonances in vocals and hi-hats. My personal favorite plugin for this is Soothe2 from oeksound.
#Hypertips 1221: Back up your files to the cloud! External HDs are useful for storing samples, but cloud storage is the best and most reliable way to keep your project files safe.
#Hypertips 1220: If you recorded vocals and are stacking layers of them, make sure that you align them. Nothing sounds worse that four layers of S's and T's being slightly off-time in a vocal stack.
#Hypertips 1219: Never stop learning. I recommend budgeting at least 5% of your time you spend on music to learning. Read plugin manuals, take an online course, or watch tutorials to continue developing your skills.
#Hypertips 1218: Try starting a track differently this week. If you always start with a melody, start with the drums (or vice versa). Or, find an awesome sample and use that as a starting point. This is a great way to spark creativity.
#Hypertips 1217: Sample as many sounds as you can from songs you like. Kicks, other drums, FX, whole synth shots. Build out a personal sample pack of your favorite samples from other tracks.
#Hypertips 1216: Don't underestimate the power of email in getting your music heard. Sending direct emails to DJs with promos of your music is an effective way to gain DJ support. From my experience, this is more effective than IG DMs.
#Hypertips 1215: Many times, a muddy mix actually has nothing to do with your mix, it has to do with your arrangement. If your track is too busy in the mids, your mix will sound muddy, no matter what you do.
#Hypertips 1214: I don't believe in magic plugins, but if I did, I'd say the Sonnox Inflator is one. I love using it on my master to gain some extra loudness without sacrificing my dynamic range.
#Hypertips 1213: Read your plugin manuals! 9 times out of 10, any question you have about a plugin is answered in the manual.
#Hypertips 1212: Take the time to learn how to properly set up your microphones for recording. For example, with vocals, I like ~6" from the singer's mouth (with a pop filter) to be perfect.
#Hypertips 1210: Your kick is arguably the most important part of your track. When I'm getting close to finishing a track, I like to audition totally new kick samples once the rest of the song is built. A new sample sometimes will work wonders for the overall production.
#Hypertips 1209: If you play an opening set, develop a good relationship with the promoter. Arrive early, stay until the lights come on, be friendly, don't ask for tons of VIP bracelets, don't get too drunk, and send a thank you text the next day.
#Hypertips 1208: Whereas the headliner brings in revenue by selling tickets to fans, opening DJs usually need to sell tickets to friends. Unfortunately, even if you are a good DJ, you are unlikely to be asked back if you aren't bringing a crowd to a party.
#Hypertips 1206: This week, let's talk about doing good opening DJ sets. The opener is a crucial part of a good club night. Your goals should be: 1) play a good set, 2) bring a good crowd, 3) develop a relationship with the promoter.
#Hypertips 1205: I've been lucky enough to chat with a few A-list artists. Here's what they all have in common: they work SMART, they are passionately curious about everything, and they know how to delegate.
#Hypertips 1204: Do collabs! They are a great way to learn from and support other artists. Plus hanging out and doing a day-long jam session is just a lot of fun.
