The advice offered here is incredibly generous and useful. I say that as a 70 something composer who's been in and out of studios since the 60's. Thanks for this.
Tell us your wisdom O wise one 🫡
I really appreciate the drum loop trick, I've been struggling with drums a lot so thanks for the tip
Amazing video btw
The free workshop we have is incredibly valuable - I cover the Production Roadmap and walk through the production process step by step.

These were great tips, Nathan! Thanks for sharing your skills!
I'm so thankful for the time you took to compile such useful information!! Appreciate you
Really fantastic. I appreciate how to the point you are.
You are incredibly appreciated. Thanks Nathan - cheers from NYC
I think this type of video is how I found this channel originally. One clipper I love is kclip by kazerog. It’s super light on cpu and it has crazy over sampling that you can just render with but not produce with, so it saves cpu but it still over samples. Another great clipper is newfangled audio saturate. This one sounds the best but makes your cpu work harder.
Great tips! I loved the MIDI inversion tip - definitely using it in my next beat :)
Thank you bro for another great video. I watched it twice to grasp all the knowledge deeply. Keep dropping such wisdom gems.
This was super useful, thank you! Especially the vocals tip.
Good stuff man, thanks for sharing!
Great video. Just got myself Logic Pro, been writing on iPad mostly so getting my head around the new DAW, but having fun and that’s the main thing for me, create and have fun
It’s crazy getting logic after working with garage band for a while I swear
@@Bittamin I have GarageBand on iOS since I cant upgrade my MacBook to macOS Big Sur so I cant use logic or GarageBand :( SAD
@@4ytherium I’m sorry dude but stick in there. Your passion is strong enough to create on the phone and that’s important. Just create within the boundaries you’re given. Do you record live instruments and stuff a lot as well or do you mix with samples given to you, or compose within the DAW itself from scratch with a mix of all of these things??
Amazing tips Thank you so much 💯✊🏾 Stay blessed 🙏🏾
Lots of great bits here. I've been producing for a while so have definitely come across a lot before but it's always great to refresh your memory and there will always be something you missed the first time. Never stop learning
This list took a long time to compile. Thank you
All super solid. Thanks!
This video is so worth rewatching 💯💯
OMG!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALLLLLLL OF THIS
Wow! Smartest person I have ever listened to. PHENOMENAL CLEAR AND VALUABLE THINKING!!! And no arrogance or posing either!!!
This is gold ❤💯🔥
Thanks Bro. You are the real deal!💯
Thank you so much for putting this together. As a 61 year-old amateur musician, recording, producing and releasing my own music (under the artist name 58frogs), nearly every one of these tips resonated with me (only excepting the vocal ones as I only do instrumental). I’ve saved this video for future reference as I’ll never remember it all! Keep producing great content Nathan - you certainly know your stuff!
Excellent reminders of doos and newbies like stacking vox not just dubbling, also for the clipping suggestion.... hope baby doing fine Nathan x
Loved #22! It is so important.
Thanks very informative
Outstanding video, I really like the rapid fire format!
Number 6 was great advice... Setting levels..
Commenting again, cos this is such a fantastic video. You fitted so much in, really useful and really concise. Made me want to go and try to be better at this. Great job, sir.

Thank you for the reminder to have fun. It's funny how quick we forgot to make it fun. Thank you for this video and list.
Hey Nathan - Love your channel and tips. I’ve seen you do many tips on vocals but had a question about whether you’ve ever done a before/after video on a “mediocre” singer and shown what a good producer can or can’t do? Many of us out here doing our own music are probably in that category. Totally understand the initial performance matters a ton, and you seem to have a talented roster and coach your singers, but some of us are limited in what we can actually do and wonder how much a pro can or can’t help. Thx!
Thanks :-)
Great techniques 🎉
Thx for this. Great stuff!
🙌🏻💪
You are the best bro, thanks alot for the info..
Amazing!
Thank you for the tips💜💜💕💕
just wow ... much informative .. love from India 🇮🇳
Wow I will have to try out point 13! I have never thought of doing that.
As a bedroom producer of about a year, this is super helpful! Thanks!
Great Tips!
these are some good tips!
(2:32) I really glad you brought this up. I still don’t necessarily understand. But I think I understand the concept of this tip. Thank you for all of these tips. I needed this a lot 💯. You are the absolute best!! 😁🙂
Appreciate this‼️
You got it 😎
some nice tricks there that I will surely try out.
Very good Nathan...
Learn music theory got me to hit the thumbs up. Have Fun is also a super important tip. I'm going to give more attention to how I can be of service to people with my music.
Thank you :)
Ayyy represent to Streaky! That’s what’s up. Haven’t heard another channel give him props before 🤙🏼🤙🏼
greattttt tips! please use the chapter text on screen like you have here and use the youtube chapters in the video. really really helpful for quick referencing
Thank you very much.
thanks good advises,
here before this blows up
My man. 🙏
My 2 fav guys
26# really slapped me in the face . Thankyou 🙏
I loved your advise personally as a producer i can't agree more with the tip to learn music theroy without i don't know what im doing but i learned it to a grade 2 level and can completely under stand music.
Yes, I noticed that when I have a joy during production -> listeners also have a joy during listening
thanks!
😅 phew !! That’s a lotta tips!! Awesome video
I find just recording with a cardioid polar pattern (a one directional mic pattern for people who don't know the terms) is good for untreated, or not well treated rooms. Even with a condenser mic. Mic placement is huge in avoiding unwanted noise. But nothing beats a well treated room and a decent mic.
As for a better tip for getting good levels: set a kick drum reference. Should be about -6dB for the loudest kick in the song, if you're using the standard metering on a DAW.
This is true I’ve been recording and producing music for a decade now it’s only been the past year or so I’ve been confident in what I’m doing. In my experience the best thing to do is to work really hard mastering your skills for 2-3 year and then put it all to practice as much as you can. Work with musicians and get feedback from others. The BIG game changer too is to use reference tracks listen to the volume, width, tone everything and if the song is similar to the one you’re working on then copy it. Try to get your mix to sound as close as possible and then you will start to learn how to mix and master properly. From a creative point of view just try stuff, reverse guitar parts, automate a massive reverb on a vocal for one powerful word. Work hard and experiment, don’t think too much about it and if it sounds good it sounds good. Sending love from Glasgow ❤
Nice list of tips, Nathan! Will we remember to follow this advice?
Very good 🙏👍‼️
Re #8: I personally prefer making a "why" instead of a "hi" sound (especially for death metal recordings), I feel the position of my mouth opens more when making a 'Y' sound.
Though, as with everything, whichever works best for you is probably what you should be doing. Fantastic tips!
#30 is top, above all) keep up with that!
#22 I do know theory (a lot) and this is a trigger alert but you said it well and now I agree more. Thanks
#21 was helpful for me. Going to try out inversions on different tracks. Thanks!
Can someone explain to me what "inversions" refers to?
@@samwheeler6213 In a nutshell, a chord inversion is just rearranging the order of the notes in a chord, so that the root note is no longer the bass note. For example playing what is normally the 3rd as the bass note. Tons of videos on RUclips about it.
First point is 'effing true 🔥
Sometimes with dense tracks, the simpler the gooder. Sometimes it is hard to quit a project. I have lots of "Almosts". There were a couple that were a time wasting obsession. Others, I stopped, for as much as three years, got back, and just finished in a couple of days.
Damn these are great tips. I’m one to despise click bait videos so this is a refreshing take. I agree with all his tips
Yo this is awesome thanks so much man. Nice little tips some I had a vague idea about but it’s nice to put words as to what’s happening. Some of this was definitely new to me too.
Ngl as a vocalist that trick about softer “I’s” literally blew my mind. I look like an idiot singing the word over and over again right now.
#6 helped me the most tbh 😅
On your phone you can get an app called blocs wave and record your own loops then import them into another app called launchpad. Its sometimes a good way to get creative juices flowing and a good way to kill time while waiting for the bus
Gems!
Just subscribed! Looking forward to more content!
What are those lights behind you? I love them!
Thanks! They're pavotubes
About #14: we need the mind-to-midi converter, which translated our musical ideas to midi. This idea I already have for 30 years, but it slowly becomes reality. Hopefully it will be out within 10 years.
neural link and of the link technology will probably provide this once it becomes mainstream, give it like 15 years
Wait until they invent keyboards?
93% of the time, huh? Unison finally got to you 🤣🤣
Nah - just a joke. Not a fan of Unison. At. All.
i thought noone would understand the joke but i was wrong... this means that unison has a very high budget and is primarily focused on paying for ads instead of making quality products lmao
I got an Unison ad before the video 😂
Ah, you're following Jordan's channel too. The clipper on drums was eye-opening for me. Thanks for this overview, Nathan!
Jordan's great. He and I have talked a bit too. Solid dude
Kinda the best channel for audio producers. Really appreciate the work. QUESTION: Logic on full volume still just isn't close to being loud enough to hear through my monitors... I know apple dose this to leave room for mixing/mastering (head room), but I can't hear it well enough even still to be useful in producing my work. I imagine I'm doing something wrong?
I found your tips jbteresting because alot of the vocal tips specifically are exactly the opposite if what you'd do in a live context. Funny how that works depending on environment 😅
Music theory isn't so much restrictions, it's more like learning a language. I think of it more as learning how to use notes, chords, voicings, scales, inversions, chord changes, and so on, as a way to communicate, knowing music theory helps you be able to intentionally and efficiently convey emotion.
Actually volume and compression last, even after panning because effects, EQ alter volume. But you make some good points.
for 1, 2 , and 3, I would have to disagree a little bit. I know it's a cliché thing to say "it's not about how expensive it is, but about what you do with it", but in my own experience, I had to made do with what I have. Though its a little more tricky with real life instruments, cheap sound libraries and recording equipment can still work well. The good sounds do sound good, but that doesn't mean the bad ones can't sound good either.
Pristine content, no clickbait, no BS
