                     Pop Music Production Tips 
For Beginners
The issue that many electronic music producers have is that their compositions are overly 
electronic. It is so disconnected from the essence of music that it is no longer a decent song but 
rather a computerized programming experience. Please understand that if this is your goal, this is 
fantastic. Pop music production tips for beginners similar to drum 'n bass, techno, dubstep, and 
hardstyle. However, the human element is the primary distinction between a dance track and a 
popular electronic pop tune.
What is music that is popular? How did it get there?
The abbreviation for popular music is pop music. It alludes to the most popular genre of modern 
music that appeals to a broad demographic. The goal of writing, performing, and producing this 
music is to appeal to as many people as possible. Pop music is a well-established genre having a 
distinctive set of stylistic elements that appeal to listeners.
In human communities, there have always been many forms of music for various reasons. Pop 
music aims to appeal to as many people as possible through its composition, performance, and 
production. There is frequently a distinction in the oldest musical traditions between music for 
serious events, such as religious ceremonies, and more lighthearted music for social gatherings.
Pop, in its widest definition, is a result of this division. Popular music has always included styles 
and genres that are popular with the general public for dancing, parties, social gatherings, 
and casual listening.
Pop music of today
You are undoubtedly aware of how important it is to have a polished, professional sound if you 
want to begin making pop music. The biggest singles, after all, have a certain commercial polish that 
makes them sound fantastic in a variety of settings.
In this section, I will break down the essential components of a standard pop music production and 
provide some methods for achieving them.
20 Best Pop Music Production Tips For Beginners
1. Take in a wide variety of musical styles.
I firmly think that listening to music outside of your electronic specialty is not only crucial but also 
absolutely essential for longevity and continuously inspiring creative ideas. Electronic music may 
become quite monotonous if it isn't inspired by a wide variety of genres. Maybe even boring. Create 
something wholly original by combining and shaping your favorite aspects from other genres. 
2. Stay true to who you are and be yourself.
The phrase "be yourself" is clichéd, but it's crucial in music. It's simple to fall into the trap of 
attempting to sign with a label, please your fans, or suck up to an A&R. You will eventually burn out 
if you create music for other people. It must originate from within you. That's it: don't follow every 
trend and be loyal to yourself.
3. Become accustomed to being ignored or, worse, rejected.
In a market that is greatly oversaturated, there are literally millions of manufacturers vying for 
market share. You'll get turned down. You'll be disregarded. It's really awesome.
4. Examine many sources of income.
This post goes much beyond standard advice on music creation, in case you haven't noticed. The 
typical millionaire has seven sources of income, you see.
You're probably earning money from a variety of sources if you're making a career off of music. 
Since the majority of musicians don't make enough money from music sales alone, they perform 
live, provide engineering services, incorporate their music into movies or television shows, create 
courses, take up ghost production, etc.
5. Be ready to put in a lot of effort.
To tell the truth, there are many simpler ways to earn money. Be ready to put in a lot of work if 
you want to succeed in the music profession, which is a challenging one. Just avoid making the 
mistake of thinking that increasing effort is always the solution.
6. Cooperation is essential.
It's crucial to let someone's creativity guide your music-making. This is both rewarding and fun, 
and it improves your skills.
7. Industry friends go a long way.
Be very receptive to building a community. The advantages of forming friendships in the music business 
are too many to mention. In addition to receiving excellent comments, you may collaborate to increase 
visibility and tackle the challenging and complex facets of the music business.
I have made hundreds and hundreds of new acquaintances and contacts in the business and with 
students since I started the Hyperbits Masterclass.
8. You've already succeeded.
No barrier must be met in order to be considered legit, and there will always be a new challenge and 
next level. You have achieved your objective of being a legitimate music producer simply by beginning 
and doing your hardest.
9. You don't have to have the best day of your life every day.
Great days and not-so-great days, as well as wonderful and not-so-great weeks, will all occur. Don't 
worry about it if something doesn't work out that day; try again tomorrow. The race is lengthy, as I have 
stated previously and will reiterate.
10. Not all things are equipment.
It's true that costly equipment may sound amazing at times, but you can create amazing music in an 
untreated environment with a tiny budget and inexpensive equipment. Stop causing yourself trouble by 
supposing that a new gadget would improve your music; in reality, even if it does, the improvement will 
be slight.
11. Create and keep up a favorites folder.
Take ten minutes after each song to compile your favorite sounds into a single, well-organized 
location. Save your finest samples in a favorites folder. This expedites the process and saves you a 
ton of time on subsequent tasks.
12. Use color coding for your projects.
Color labeling is crucial. It makes it easier for your eye to distinguish between different kinds of 
groupings. When you're finally not staring at a wall of midi-green or audio-blue (at least in Logic 
Pro), it may also inspire and encourage innovation.
13. Put your plugins in order.
You may change how your plugins are shown in the majority of DAWs. Preserving quality above 
quantity is the aim here. Are you always required to have access to all 20 compressors? Your 
workflow will become much more seamless if you select a few excellent-sounding plug-ins for 
each job. 
14. Give your buses, channels, and tracks names.
Color labeling is insufficient. Don't forget to label your tracks. You may enjoy this, even if it seems 
unpleasant. Eventually, it will become second nature. 
I'll call a bass sound Fart Bass if it truly sounds like a fart to me. I realize that this shouldn't amuse 
me as much as it does now that I'm an adult, but it does, eh. Well, anything. Let's go on..
