Ep. 129 - [Random Producer Advice vol. 2] We tapped in with our humans on Producer Dojo's Dojo TV live stream (link in the description) and answered burning questions, like: What are our favorite new production techniques? What's really important when writing a song? How much sausage fattener is too sausagey? Do you REALLY need that element in your song? Do you need to pull out all your producer tricks in every song? Do you need to get rid of all your imperfections? Do you need to stick to a genre or energy level in your artist project or DJ set? How different do you need to be to stand out and break through the noise? Is figuring out what you don't want to do as important as knowing what you do want to do? All this and more off the rails discussion on this week's episode of The Human Music Podcast! Song of the Week: Luke Rain f.

Ep. 128 - [How to Use Clipping for Loudness] Every electronic producer wants to be able to get their songs loud, but how do we do this? There is a lot of information about this out there, and some of it conflicts. One way that we've found to help a lot is using Clippers. On this episode we dive into what clipping is, how to use clipping, why we were told to leave headroom in the mix bus, whether we actually do need to leave headroom, the “skrillex bussing template”, which clipper plugins we use and why, what hard clipping is vs soft clipping, and the clip to zero method.
