Take your music to the next level.
If you feel like you're always getting stuck in your music productions, or if you feel like you're not improving, then don’t worry because you're not alone. According to Digital Music News just one point four percent of producers actually "make it" in producing music...which means almost 99 percent of producers are focusing on the wrong things. And this is why most of them end up giving up producing before they peak or they never finishing anything good. But with access to a wealth of proven technical, practical, and theoretical knowledge in one book, you can take your music to the next level.
Here is just a tiny fraction of what you will discover:
- How to write chords, drum beats, basslines, melodies, and more
- Essential home-recording studio equipment - without spending millions
- Music theory explained - without needing to study a course
- Step-by-step guide to mixing and mastering your music - even if you're not a technical person
- How a 19-year-old young producer used “deliberate practice” to create the global smash, “Old Town Road”
- Optimize your computer for music production (PC and mac)
- Audio recording tips: Microphones and placement
And much, much more....
Stop wasting your time on forums, YouTube, and asking the same old questions. Make your best music with this book.

Most home studio engineers don't have a process to follow as they mix.

Working like this can be frustrating since it often is time consuming and results in weak, lifeless mixes. That's where this book comes in handy.

Local guitar teachers seem like a great option at first, but you could risk getting stuck with a wannabe rock star who can't really teach you. Or you could try books, but most books are far too bulky and will leave you no better than where you started. Strumming a chord or two is not enough, nor is shredding a mindless solo piece. If you do not understand the essentials of music theory, you will never learn to truly play the guitar.

The resurgence of viral clips from the long-running hit reality television show America’s Next Top Model left fans and foes alike wondering–how did a show so outrageous and at times offensive ever get on the air? For years, Americans dutifully watched as contestants faced uncomfortable situations regarding their race and gender, body-shaming, stereotyping, and problematic photoshoots. The show, which first premiered in 2003 and ran for 24 cycles, was helmed by supermodel Tyra Banks–the first Black female host of a smash network reality show.

Story
The resurgence of viral clips from the long-running hit reality television show America’s Next Top Model left fans and foes alike wondering–how did a show so outrageous and at times offensive ever get on the air? For years, Americans dutifully watched as contestants faced uncomfortable situations regarding their race and gender, body-shaming, stereotyping, and problematic photoshoots. The show, which first premiered in 2003 and ran for 24 cycles, was helmed by supermodel Tyra Banks–the first Black female host of a smash network reality show.

Story
Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.
