Is it? It’s how they learn and practice.

These are the characteristics of the most successful new producers:

They work quickly and focus on finishing songs (not just starting them)…
They are able to develop real skills and not just watch an interminable amount of videos. of tutorials…

Don’t do it like I did

I’m Sam Matla. I’ve been producing music for over 10 years and teaching it professionally for the Last 6 years.

I wasted a lot of Learning how to make electronic music took a lot of time. I could have learned this in a matter of weeks, instead of months.

I had no direction. I was totally on my own.

Sure, I picked up some techniques and ideas from various tutorials… which helped. But I still didn’t understand how everything worked together.

I was confused and discouraged for the first few months.

I almost quit.

Actually, I took a break from work for several months before I came back, simply because it was too difficult.

Looking back, I realize that I made three major mistakes in those first few months.

Instead of focusing on the practical, I was too focused on theoretical learning. of actually doing…
I had bad habits. I cut corners, worked slowly, and didn’t finish what I started…
I didn’t have a framework to learn. I diverted my attention from too many areas. of Production was extremely slow.

Three years ago, I noticed how many people were using the internet to find their way. of Every day, new producers came to our website desperately seeking answers.
