When I was in college my teacher gave me some great advice that I could use to keep ahead of the game. These tips are so small that normal everyday beat makers and producers do not use them, only the elite do. The elite I asked him and he said yes because these small tips maybe the reason someone works with you and not someone else.

These tips will keep a professional organize with sessions and music production. I use these tips every day when I am producing music and let me tell you it has saved me from headaches. I use Logic Pro 9 and ProTools but these tips will work with any DAW or music program you use to make music production.

DAW and production program Tips

1. Name all your tracks
2. Edit all your audio from dead or used air.
3. Color code your Markers, your Intro-Yellow, Hook-Red, Versus-Blue. Whatever color you want to use to make it easy for you and others to have visual colors to move faster between sections of a completed beat or song.
4. Once everything is completed always consolidate your session in case you are requested for the audio and your client does not have the same DAW system or wants to mix the session themselves.
5. Bounce down all midi files to audio, not everyone uses the same software.
6. Once this is all done make sure you place your files in one folder, name that folder and add BPM. Example: The Greatest Hits_YourName_bpm154 (If you bounce the song down use this example for your wav. And or MP3)
