2018 STUDIO WORK OUT

Get a fresh perspective on your studio life for the new year,

The dawn of a new year is always a time when people look to build on what they’ve done in the last year by making resolutions for the new one – such as going to the gym five times a week to burn off the obscene amount of food and drink consumed over Christmas! While most of the gym memberships purchased in January end up gathering dust by March, however, for the musically minded, the new year is often the time we look to up our game in the studio. An admirable intention, for sure – but it’s easy to get stuck in a musical rut without a bit of extra guidance or motivation. So to help you achieve those music production goals once and for all, we’ve put together the guide to to help you make 2018 your most creative and productive year to date!

Over the next few pages, we’ll let off a whole heap of expert ideas, strategies and tips to push you out of your comfort zone and towards reaching your studio goals for the year, including some great time management hacks, sensible ways of making your sample library work for you, and different ways of approaching your music-making endeavours. Whether you’re looking to become more productive with your studio time, sort through the 5,000 sci-fi laser samples you found on the interwebz, finish up that EP you’ve been sitting on for three years, or learn how to use your Christmas studio gifts like a boss, then this guide is an essential read. So, let’s leave behind the cliché ‘new year, new me’ memes this year, and make 2018 the official year of owning the studio and achieving your goals in style!
