Power Habits of Professional Producers

FANTASTiC | 12 August 2021 | 3.23 GB

We’ve all heard of the Pareto Principle right? How 80% of your results are driven by 20% of your efforts. It’s a tidy concept, but how do you figure out the right 20% so you can ditch the dead weight? The answer? By tracking down the uber-successful high achievers in the field, deeply studying what they do, and modelling them. That’s easier said than done, which is why I created this live-stream. Over the past 20 years I’ve been studying the secrets of high performance. That journey has taken me through countless books, coaching programs, workshops and seminars, as well as personal coaching programs. I’ve been able to test, apply, learn, and optimize these processes myself to discover what works and what doesn’t. I’ve also interviewed tons of prolific producers and spent time in the studio with them. I’ve had the opportunity to have off-the-record chats at festivals, and observe them in action. Then, through my Accelerate 1-on-1 coaching program, I’ve had plentiful experience implementing these power habits with my students and tweaking the results.

Accompanying this is a diagrammatic explanation of what constitutes reverb, to help with understanding each stage and the overall timing of reflections.

Eurgh, music theory…

‘Music theory’ are two dreaded words, carrying with them a sense of intimidation and boredom. As a music producer, you might hear these two words and think: ‘this isn’t relevant,’ ‘I don’t need this,’ ‘It’s all just jargon!’. Well, we agree! Music theory can be pretty boring, and often it does seem irrelevant for producers who are practical music makers. That’s why we’ve created this short and accessible course, introducing you to all the must know elements of music theory for practical music making.

Piano Lessons For Producers

FANTASTiC | 11 March 2021 | 2.1 GB

Classical piano players and Beatmakers have many similarities, yet many differences. This course focuses on what is necessary as a beatmaker to play the piano through improvisation and many other powerful tricks to get the most out of your piano playing and MIDI note programming in your beats. The goal of a beatmaker playing the piano is to know improvisation, how to create catchy loops, counting beats, and knowing how to play with both the left and right hand. There are tons of videos on the internet in regards to learning the piano, but over years of producing beats, we’ve realized we as beatmakers play the piano differently than someone trying to learn classical piano.
