Nobody has the same exact library as you.Ī personal example: my track Test was created in early 2018 once I had recently curated my favourite samples into Ableton Live 10’s ‘Collections’ feature. So if you needed another reason to get organized, think of how it will make you a more unique producer. When you find your favourite sounds, you’re refining your taste, and inevitably, crafting your sound. Organizing your samples, deleting sounds you don’t like and saving your favourite sound effects racks are all going to help you in your sound curation journey. Finding Your Soundįinding your sound isn’t downloading a new preset bank, or a sample pack, or a new processing technique.īut it is the culmination of lots of them, refined over time. You generally only need to do this stuff once! Well worth the time investment. So, don’t be afraid to do upfront work that will shave seconds and minutes off production time. If it takes you 2 minutes instead of 4 to find a sample that fits during the production process, and you use an average of 15 samples per song, that’s 30 minutes that you’ve saved. After all, how long does it really take to find a plugin or preset?īut when you think about the production process, you realize that shaving seconds off processes that you repeat time and time again adds up immensely. You might think that this type of file organization is pedantic and ineffective.

Set your DAW to auto-update so you don’t have to search for an update every time.

Chop up parts from a bunch of samples so you don’t have to manually find chops every time.

Rate your presets in your favourite synth, so you don’t have to find the good ones every time.

The above was a great example – set up a favorites folder so you don’t have to spend 20 minutes finding a sample for every track. Is there something you can set up once, so that you don’t have do keep doing something else that is unnecessary?

This isn’t ideal.īoth these examples would benefit from using a “favorites” folder, which we’ll talk about in this article, but beyond that, having an organized file system for your samples/plugins/presets helps immensely with creativity and workflow. If your samples are unorganized and you can’t find decent sounding drums quickly, the melody in your head might fade away as you focus on something else.Ī similar example: if your presets aren’t well organized and/or you don’t know them well enough, you’re going to waste time looking for a decent sound for the melody in your head. You’d like a basic drum beat as a backdrop so you can record it easier with your MIDI keyboard.

You want to be able to quickly find/create the sounds you desire before an idea or series of ideas in your head fade away.Įxample: you have an idea for a melody in your head. Here are a few reasons to organize your files and have easy access to your tools.

Organized doesn’t necessarily mean ‘clean’, but it can. The truth is, it’s not the mess that’s helpful, but the access to your tools and materials that are actually helpful.įor one producer, that can look messy, yet for another, their studio might look spotless. You may have heard that messy spaces can make artists more creative. To put it bluntly, nobody has benefitted from specifically being unorganized. While we could talk about all of these stages, in this article, we’re going to be focusing on file organization, as it’s arguably the most undervalued. Most people neglect pre-production entirely, which is a mistake. To do this, we can optimize our pre-production to make our production sessions more effective and focused. Therefore, it’s essential to make the most out of every opportunity we have to produce. Most of us have a limited time to make music.

Pre-production is everything you do before you sit down to write a new track (or work on an existing one).
