Pro Mixing_Editing_Recording

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Choose the right instrument before hand so to spread frequency range and avoid as much frequency masking as possible from the beginning. Also tune your Drums, avoid any sort of loud noise or hum, do the recording as best as you can.
