Today I want to talk to you about two of my favorite things - free stuff and new sounds! So here's some free plugins, it’s a winning combination. It seems that sometimes Producers are very reluctant to discuss their tools of the trade, in fear that someone my use them and “STEAL THEIR SOUND” or [...]
In this first video, Deadmaus5, aka Joel Zimmerman, takes us on a tour around his beautiful new in-home studio, that was clearly custom created to suit his needs. He takes us through all of his gear, showing off just some of the toys he's accumulated over the years as a successful EDM Producer, including a [...]
You can thank Native Instruments for this one, who as put this together as promotion for their products, including the Komplete Kontrol & Maschine, which 40 references in the video. 40, who is the right hand man for a number of Drake's biggest hits, and is seen as creating that 'sound' that has made Drake [...]
Yo, So, as many of you reading this are Producers, I’m sure these items are something that you guys can all relate to. You ever have that moment when you’re meeting a new group of people, or you’re meeting your girl’s friends, and they ask you what you do, and you as proudly as you [...]

Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter for this one... very interesting to us Producers, especially those that sample. Know your rights, Producers. A film financier based in the United Kingdom has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit over The Weeknd’s hit song, “The Hills,” alleging that it illicitly sampled a score from an obscure film titled, The Machine. [...]
I’d argue that becoming a successful Producer is harder than ever. Sure, we have a greater access to technology than ever before, but that means that so does everybody else, creating this huge surplus of Aspiring Producers all being able to create high quality music from a laptop in their bedroom. And that’s a beautiful [...]

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of Producers that are Artists, and Artists that are Producers etc. I think it's a real skill to have. Sonny Digital is a Producer and Rapper from Atlanta, GA and is a talent in both respects. Earlier today, Sonny dropped a new self-produced record of his called [...]
I know, I know. This isn't an extremely old article, it just happens to be an extremely old issue that has recently arisen all over again. And, ironically, on Back To The Future day of all days. Today, a judge dismissed the case against Jay-Z, Timbaland and associated music companies, who were being sued for [...]
Yo, So, I stumbled across this video from earlier in the week from the legendary DJ Pain 1 and I think it is a must for ANY Producers out there, both Aspiring and established. Here, DJ Pain 1 drops some serious knowledge bombs on us Producers about the idea of giving away free beats. It [...]
Over the years, Scott Storch has been one of my favorite producers. Sure, he's had his ups and downs as far as personal problems with drugs, bankruptcy etc. But put that to one side and let the music do the talking. And he's always been on point where that's concerned. As you may remember, this [...]
