DAW<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is the canvas for all your productions. It\u2019s also the interface for finding and using all of your sounds.<\/li>\n<li>Popular DAW\u2019s include <strong>Ableton Live<\/strong>, <strong>Logic Pro<\/strong>, <strong>FL Studio<\/strong> and more. We\u2019ll be using Ableton Live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3074 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-1024x640.png\" alt=\"future-beats-pre-production-1\" width=\"802\" height=\"501\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-800x500.png 800w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01-1200x750.png 1200w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG01.png 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 802px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 802\/501;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>2. Plugins<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Most DAW\u2019s come with a handful of useful plugins. How you use these can have a major impact on your sound.<\/li>\n<li>You can also purchase 3rd party plugins to expand your toolset (although this is not essential to making music). New tools can also be exciting to learn\/use and will keep you inspired.<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s a quick overview of the plugins I\u2019ll be using on this production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 370px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3073-1\" width=\"370\" height=\"278\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/VID01.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/VID01.mp4\">https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/VID01.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h2>3. Sample Library<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Be selective when downloading samples, it\u2019s important to love every sample in your library. This will make you more efficient when selecting samples during the creative process.<\/li>\n<li>Sounds are a huge part of what define a genre. Try listening to some music that inspires you and take notes on attributes of the music and sounds. Are the drums realistic or digital? Maybe classic Roland 909 sounds, or maybe there\u2019s frequent rim-shots used instead of a snare sample. Is the instrumentation mostly synthesizers or sampled acoustic instruments? Working off these ideas will help inspire you to make concise choices in your production and get the sound you want.<\/li>\n<li>For this project we\u2019ll use <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\">Splice Sounds<\/a> for our Drum Samples. You can search by genre on Splice Sounds which can help you narrow in on new samples.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3075 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02-1024x641.png\" alt=\"future-beats-pre-production-2\" width=\"799\" height=\"501\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02-1024x641.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02-799x500.png 799w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02-1200x751.png 1200w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG02.png 1279w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 799px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 799\/501;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. The Right Mindset<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Block Out Production Time\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a busy schedule it can help to schedule time for production sessions. It helps me to know when I have studio time so I can plan around it and stay accountable to myself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Reduce Distractions\n<ul>\n<li>When I produce I turn my phone on airplane mode and sometimes even disable my wifi. An incoming text message can send you down a rabbit hole and throw off a creative streak.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Staying Inspired &amp; Excited\n<ul>\n<li>I try to create something every day, even if it\u2019s just a melody in 5 minutes. You would be surprised what you have time for, and how great of an idea can come out of a short session.<\/li>\n<li>I make an active effort to share my unreleased music with my peers for feedback using a Facebook group chat. I also use tools like Spotify\u2019s Discover Weekly playlist to find new music and stay inspired.<\/li>\n<li>I often download\/purchase new plugins and samples so I have fresh content to work with, this is a great way to stay excited about producing. You don\u2019t need to spend a lot of money either, there are plenty of free or affordable resources on the internet. Splice has even launched a Rent-to-Own program for plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Setting Up for Efficiency\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h2>1. Sample Library Organization<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Organizing your sample library is key to minimizing frustration when you\u2019re producing. Deleting unnecessary samples and organizing things by category or sample pack is helpful. I also find it helpful to save a favorites folder that you access quickly in a moment of inspiration.<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s an image of my sample library organization system for reference. My suggestion is do a little trial and error, then set things up how they work best for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3076 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG03.png\" alt=\"future-beats-pre-production-3\" width=\"591\" height=\"407\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG03.png 591w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG03-300x207.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 591px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 591\/407;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>2. User Presets<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>As you design sounds or even alter presets for your tracks you start shaping your sound. I find it useful to go back after I\u2019ve finished a song and save the presets I like the best for later use. Starting with a decent sound you\u2019ve already spent time designing can push the track in the right direction, you can always change things later if needed.<\/li>\n<li>I save these presets in a folder in my user library, which looks like this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3077 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG04.png\" alt=\"future-beats-pre-production-4\" width=\"368\" height=\"347\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG04.png 368w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG04-300x283.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 368px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 368\/347;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>3. Templates<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Setting up a default session with your most used tools can save a lot of time in the long run. It can also help establish consistency in your work flow. Pay attention to what you use most and save those things into a default session.<\/li>\n<li>In Ableton Live you can simply open a session, set it up how you\u2019d like, then save it as the default session in (Preferences &gt; File Folder&gt;Save Current Set as Default).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3078 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG05.png\" alt=\"future-beats-pre-production-5\" width=\"500\" height=\"601\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG05.png 500w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG05-250x300.png 250w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG05-416x500.png 416w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/601;\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/producing-future-beats-production-composition\/\">Click here for Part 2: Production &amp; Composition.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to create a Future Beat track from start to finish in this education series by su na.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":3478,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1696],"tags":[1638,333,1635,1254],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
