Hey there! It's Ernesto, back with another edition of "The Producer Lab" newsletter, featuring the importance of finishing more music, Bad Bunny & Rihanna collab, and the best track of the week. Let's dive in!

Finish More Music

Finishing a lot of tracks is not only essential for getting more hours in, but also helps you avoid becoming too attached to your beats. Trust me, you won't be able to discard your not-so-great tracks if you don't have other options to choose from. If you're struggling to finish your tracks consistently, I've got you covered! I've compiled some tips to help you make the most of your music production journey and develop an efficient workflow:

Create your toolkit of samples and presets: Save time and boost your creativity by building a collection of samples and presets you trust and love. This way, you can focus on the music instead of searching for the perfect sound.
Organize your workflow: Dedicate separate sessions for specific elements, such as sound design, arrangement, and mixing. Use project management tools to keep yourself on track and avoid getting stuck in a loop.
Seek feedback from your peers: Get an extra ear on your tracks and mixes by sharing your work with fellow producers. This will help you identify areas for improvement and elevate your music to new heights.
Continuously refine your skills and experiment with new techniques: Learn from your mistakes and don't be afraid to revisit topics. The more you practice, the better you'll become.

By following these tips, you'll become a more successful and confident music producer in no time. Now, it's time to take the first step! Dive into the full guide to Finishing Tracks Consistently here.
