Here's what Scott Hawksworth of audioskills.com had to say about the feature:

We surveyed 45 expert music producers in search of the best tips… and the response we got was incredible. Our panel sent us hundreds of music production tips!

The toughest part was narrowing them down to only 121, and then organizing the tips into the sections you see below. (Actually, we received so many awesome tips, we were able to create “bonus” articles for the experts’ music production plugin recommendations, their best synthesis and sound design tips, and their best drum programming and beat making tips.)

Thanks again to all of the experts who contributed… and thank you for reading. Whether you’re a professional music producer or a complete newbie, we’re confident you can find something below to immediately apply to your own music.

Cheers!
