Here are 3 things to jumpstart your music-making!

1 - Getting Industry-Standard Mixes

Tyson Boorman is a mixing and mastering engineer for Nightowl Music Group. He is the author of The Objective Mix - Mix Like a Pro Without Pro Gear or Premium Plug-ins.

Tyson and I spoke about his production philosophy of "skills over gear." We talked about the practical insights and messages from his book The Objective Mix. And Tyson gave a great explanation of how and why to use compressors in different mixing situations.

Tyson is giving listeners of this podcast his "The 5 Secrets to Industry Standard Mixes" and "The Compression Styles Every Bedroom Producer Needs to Know" guides for free! Go to https://www.objectivemixing.com/funk to download them.

2 - The Key to Creativity

I loved these thoughts from actor and writer John Cleese on creativity.

He also has a short book on creativity, which I am about to read: Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide. I'll report back on my thoughts!
