Efficient Audio Production

[farrisgoldstein]

I know this is kind of a broad topic, and I’m sure I’ll find a lot of existing posts, but I wanted to start a conversation since I’m new to the forum:

Most of my gigs involve music and audio production. I use Logic, and I love it. Every producer has a preference, but what tips do people have to make the small gigs easier to deliver quickly and the larger ones easier to deliver with high quality?

I’ll admit I haven’t really found a method that works 100% of the time for me. I do have a few basic templates in Logic: One for voiceover, one for jingles, and a few for songwriting based on style and genre.

I tend to overuse the “Compressed Vocal” patch in LPX, and I’m working on ways to make subtle changes to my vocal sounds, but what I’m really interested in is things that will help make the tech fade away and just let me create.
