I’m giv­ing away a few great tips (marked Pro-tip) and it would be fun to see if any of you have some­thing that you feel gives you the pro­fes­sional edge.

Before I start, I want you to be crit­i­cal to my work­flow and real­ize that this may not work for you specif­i­cally. If you feel like any of the Pro-tips are incorrect/bad advice, don’t hes­i­tate to cor­rect me! :)
I’m going to write this work­flow start­ing from the point where you have an acapella and want to cre­ate a track around it. You can apply any of these tech­niques in your own orig­i­nal tracks and in acapel­las that you got off your mates/colleagues.

Intro­duc­tion

Today I’m going to talk about books. More specif­i­cally books that I believe every pro­ducer should have in his library. All of these books are the most pop­u­lar ones in their cat­e­gory on Amazon.com and as such, I think that’s a good indi­ca­tion of their qual­ity, which is why I’ve included them here. The books cov­ered are as follows:

  • The Dance Music Man­ual: Tools, Toys and Techniques
  • Com­plete Idiot’s Guide to Music Theory
  • How to Make a Noise: A Com­pre­hen­sive Guide to Syn­the­sizer Programming
  • The Mix­ing Engineer’s Handbook
  • Mas­ter­ing Audio: The Art and the Science
  • How to Write a Hit Song: The Com­plete Guide to Writ­ing and Mar­ket­ing Chart-Topping Lyrics & Music
  • How to Be a Hit Song­writer: Pol­ish­ing and Mar­ket­ing Your Lyrics and Music
