WORKFLOW FROM IDEA TO FINISHED PRODUCTION GET MORE TRACKS DONE QUICKLY • Whether large studio, home recording or laptop setup… when creative ideas come up, a well thought-out workflow is essential. But what can you do to optimize your hardware and software setup so that ideas can be captured quickly and efficiently when the muse kisses you? And how do you get the best sound when recording? In our large Workflow Special we will address these questions and show you how to make the most of your technology to achieve the best possible musical output.

22 Workflow Assistants • There‘s nothing more obstructive than a fouled workflow when you have an idea and want to get it into your DAW. Whether it‘s synths or effects that are not connected properly, unstable MIDI connections, too much or too little equipment, or simply that one crucial piece that’s missing from your collection. On the following pages, we show you 24 life-savers for everyday studio and recording work that can help get your workflow going and keep it going.

The Studio as a „space“ to switch off • Sure, many home recorders have a job in their home studios, but for most of them it is rarely a workplace, but a place of relaxation. And there…you want to feel comfortable and not be disturbed by annoying technical issues. Our reader Jules aka Ygravity has banished all cables from sight in his „Space“ and has driven the design to perfection. But why?

Is that even possible? • Not every producer has enough space in the studio to place speakers. Besides, even the best wiretap is useless if the room acoustics are not right. So, why not mix with headphones? We‘ll give you tips and show you what you need to consider and which models are suitable.

10 Decisions You Can Make Before Recording • Do the vocals fit or do I record again? Should I maybe rework the lead melody again? In the production process, we encounter a multitude of decisions that need to be addressed. This can quickly become overwhelming and even bring the production to a standstill. How can this flood of decisions be countered? We’d like to show you ten decisions that can be made even before the recording begins. That way the workflow can be structured, the focus can be kept, and the song can finally be finished without ending up on the producer‘s chopping block.

Get more power from your DAW! • More tracks, more effects, more plug-ins, more synths, more sounds, more… Who hasn‘t experienced this: In the middle of a project, in the best flow, the DAW breaks down, causes dropouts during playback or refuses to load another instance of your favorite synth. Beat explains in the big special „Power-up“ how to get more power out of your DAW with insider knowledge, and how to get to the desired musical goal faster.
