As someone who's been producing hiphop/edm genre music for some time, I've never worked with another artist, specifically a singer. Recently got an artist who really appreciates my style and wants to collab on a song together, which is a great chance for both of us. Since I have no experience with this at all, so I'm genuinely wondering what should a producer/songwriter do when collaborating with another artists? Don't laugh at me but I really got some stupid questions below: - Should I write the vocal melodies or she should write it? She mentioned she will write the lyrics but what about the melodies? I sometimes write vocal melodies but only for myself. If write the melody, how should I prepare it for her? Should I do a humming take or should I just play a key with melody? - Usually I record at home, but what if we want to go to another mixing engineers recording booth, what should I prepare? - Should I prepare the beats in a full? - Are there any good platforms that give decent 1on1 coaching session that teaches stuff like these? In general, as a bedroom producer, I really hope there's somewhere or someone could teach me the professional ways of collaboration when working with an artist or group.

Anyone up to sharing or exchanging Midi wizard 2 tips together?...

Hello🤘🏻 new here. Watched a fix the mix. Pretty cool stuff. I am always curious how people make a living from the music industry, if anyone wanted to share. I do production of live events. Small and festivals like Coachella. But production of music is where my heart is.

I'm slowly but surely improving my listening environment. Looking into investing in some monitors within the next few months. I'm curious to know what monitors you all are using and what you like and dislike about them.
