What's one lesson you wish you had learned sooner when it comes to music production? Share the advice that would've saved you the most time, money, or frustration!

Hey, guys. I'm mixing a beat that 137 BPM. It's a fast paced R&B beat. I know I need a slow attack and fast release on time with the tempo, but since the drums are closer together and there're more in each bar, I would want the quickest of the slow attacks with the fastest release, right?

If you want to share a link to a new release or anything else music related, please post it in this thread. Thanks!

Yes, yes, I know it's somewhere between 2 hours and a year lol I'm talking with a friend I've been doing some recording for - and he is paying me - but trying to set some budgets and expectations for future work.The plan is to record two songs a month for his own sync library. So I'll pose a hypothetical scenario and would love to hear what you'd suggest to clients. - working with singer/songwriter with okay vocal skill (sometimes really good, sometimes struggle) and not a great guitarist - music is roots/americana/classic country rock feel - create a scratch track to use with remote drummer, playing guitar while singer puts down temp vocal track - work with drummer to get the right drum beat and dynamics - record all instruments yourself, rhythm and lead guitars, bass, two keyboard parts - singer can record vocals on own time and own gear (he travels a lot for work so bought gear to do that - it's decent quality.) - edit vocals - probably get replacement vocal done - mix - master I'm a pretty good guitarist but I find it takes several takes to find the right lead guitar parts. I'm decent at creating ostinatos and fills on keyboard but I ain't no piano player lol. What would you tell a customer to expect for time on a project like this.
