Panning is Everything to a Mix... FREE MIXING GUIDE >> LINK IN BIO Panning is essential to a good mix but here a few basic rules that will help you achieve a better mix in no time 1 - don't pan instruments sharing the same frequency range in the same position to give them space. Use a spectrum analyzer to identify if two instruments clash with each other in the same range. 2 - If the bass source comes from a stereo instrument, it's a good idea to send it to a mono bus as low frequency elements should be panned close to center. 3 - as a general rule, lead vocals are also usually placed in the center. Harmonies, double tracks etc can end up being panned left and right when it's necessary to bring some more stereo. 4 - Not everything needs to be panned. You got to trust your ears for this Double tap if this helps! Make sure to get your free copy of our Essential Mixing Guide that will teach you other cool tricks for mixing.

Beating writer's block

There are lots of ways to get those creative juices flowing, but one of my favorite methods is to find a movie trailer that you'd find interesting, and watch the video on mute and compose your song around the trailer.

Atmospheric/Unique Synth stabs

A good trick for synth stabs is to design your little stab, and keep it short. Then put a reverb over the stab, then have fun. Distortion, flangers, and phasers give you some amazing sounds out of the little stab's reverb, especially if set the synth to mono, then the reverb is stereoized.

Tip: Odd Time Signatures

[d.o.p] suggests getting out the habit of using 4/4. Switch it up with an odd time signature such as 6/8 or even 14/16. It may be difficult but once you master the theory of music and utilizing odd time signatures, that will put you one step above the rest of EDM producers out there. 

DCMB adds that breaking apart the numerator of the time signature (14/16 = a 4,4,3,3,4 pattern) into patterns of 4,3,2, and 1 help keep it from being overwhelmingly weird/not audibly appealing.

Tip: 'Ghosting' the reverb

A trick I like to use for leads and atmosphere filler is what I call 'ghosting' the reverb. You take the pattern/riff that you want to 'ghost', and make a copy of the instrument. Copy and paste the pattern, so there are two exact copies of it. Put a reverb effect on the second instrument, and set the wetness to 100% and the dryness to 0%. Now, you can layer the reverb with the first instrument, but the real neatness of this trick is that you can now automate the reverb without affecting the lead, giving the pattern a helluva lot more subtle niceness. You can gate the ghost, you can sidechain it, or distort it with some automation, for example.
