If you're new to music production, you're probably making some of the same mistakes that almost every producer makes when starting out.
In this video, I'll walk through some of the most common beginner music production mistakes and explain how to avoid them so you can make faster progress.
We'll cover:
• Trying to learn everything at once
• Focusing on plugins instead of fundamentals
• Overprocessing sounds
• Ignoring arrangement
• Not using reference tracks
• Mixing too loud
• Constantly switching DAWs and plugins
• Not finishing songs
• Comparing yourself unfairly to professionals
• Expecting fast results
• Believing gear is the solution
• Learning from mistakes instead of fearing them
Whether you're using Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, GarageBand, Studio One, Cubase, or another DAW, these principles apply to all music producers.
Let me know in the comments which mistake you relate to most, or if there is another one you've noticed in your own music production journey.
