#118: Music Production and Songwriting Tips | THE PRODUCER'S PUB Christmas Special

Step into a captivating exchange of artistic sentiments and music production wisdom with a Christmas special from Inside the Mix. I've assembled an enthralling ensemble including Aisle9, RogueFx, Sub Neon, Neon Highway, and Valley Lights, each delivering a 30-second snippet of their creations for an in-depth dialogue. Prepare to be swept off your feet by the energetic "Bass Doctor" from Sub Neon, and let Aisle9's track "Copper Sun" demonstrate how to make a quick impact with your music. Through the intriguing melodies of Valley Lights and Sub-Neon, we delve into the significance of intros and maintaining authenticity in your sound. You'll find your groove with the funk and 80s' essence of Sub-Neon and appreciate a serene night-time cityscape with "After Hours" from Neon Highway. Tune in to soak up insights on track transitions, the value of various saved versions during production, and sticking to your artistic instincts. In the spirit of the holiday season, we cap things off with a hearty discussion on "California", a vibrant track that showcases songwriting in a major key and the uplifting aura it brings. We also revisit the iconic blend of synth and rock that defined the 80s' music scene. Learn from our discussions on recognizing your strengths and weaknesses in music production and the dynamism of collaboration. Stay with us as we unwrap some feedback on Kai Valley's "Lights" and RogueFxs' "In the Dead of Night", wrapping up with a sneak peek into Aisle9's chillwave, 80s' nostalgia-infused new track.
