The 10 Best Music Production Videos For Expanding Your Creativity
When I listen to my favourite music I’m often left wondering ‘how’d they do it?’
How do you get that special access to see behind all those closed studio doors? You can’t just go around knocking…
Fortunately for you there’s some excellent videos series out there to answer all your questions. They give you an insider’s look into the processes of some amazing artists.
You get to learn everything from creative sampling, to gear setups, to studio workflows, to DAW tricks.
But there’s tons of channels out there and some do it better than others… So here’s the 10 best and most educational music production series to get you started.
1. Tim & Barry – Beat This
Beat This is a superb ‘beat challenge’ series where producers get just 10 minutes to finish an entire beat.
The time-crunch style of this series creates some pretty entertaining results… It’ll also make you say “I could do better than that” (hence the name Beat This). The only way to find out is to try it!
Plus, seeing producers sample something real quick to build a beat is super educational if you’re using samples in your own tracks.
