Tips for electronic music production

I have many tips for electronic music production, especially being an experienced producer for over 5 years.

Firstly there are many electronic sounds that are too computerized and they don't sound authentic at all, so while you search for sounds try tweaking them and adding effects to make them sound as real as possible.

Make sure you use single channel compressors on anything high pitch (ex. claps, snaps, snares, bells etc.) and anything low pitch (ex. kick drums, bass, etc.) to avoid digital distortion.

Also take advantage of manually changing the pitch, pan and the volume of single notes.

Also make sure you use quantizing methods to make sure everything is on beat if you use the keys on your computer keyboard or a midi keyboard.

And last but not least, don't be scared to explore the system and use different sounds/sound effects, production methods, and plugins.
