Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: I would say the one thing that saved me is do not fix what is not broken. Sometimes we tend to over due it sometimes with adding too many things at once.

Knowing when to stop and when going forward will make the song go in a bad direction is a quality each producer should have.
