Everything you learned in music production is wrong is a bold statement! Think more plugins = better mix? Think again. In this video, I’m breaking down why most music production advice is dead wrong — and what you should actually be focusing on to get professional-sounding tracks.

✅ The truth about over-processing
✅ Why sound selection is 90% of the game
✅ How to fix muddy, overworked mixes
✅ What most tutorials won't tell you

Watch as I compare two beats — same notes, totally different results. One is over-processed and still sounds bad. The other? Minimal processing and it hits hard. Want to know what the big secret is?

Did you know your key analysis software may be lying to you? Don't fall into a trap thinking something you have that is in key actually isn't. Or be aware that these softwares can only tell a few scales, therefore potentially causing you a mismatch if you're ears aren't trained and you miss it. Stay tuned!

Today, I am sharing (in my opinion) one of the best Ableton features that I feel like a lot of people are not using. Being able to import sounds and various tracks from other sessions (or the whole session into your template) has allowed me to re-work older tracks of friends for sync, bring in sounds I've created and speed my workflow tremendously. Let's chat about how it can help you too!
