For music producers and audio engineers seeking to refine their craft, a selection of recent industry videos offers valuable insights across gear, theory, and professional practice. These resources provide practical knowledge, from detailed plugin comparisons to deconstructing classic sounds and touring elite studios.
A key theme is the deep exploration of professional tools. Plugin Alliance presents a technical "Lindell Audio Console Shootout," comparing the sonic characteristics of its 80 Series and 50 Series emulations to inform mixing decisions. Meanwhile, Antelope Audio provides exclusive access in "Behind the Scenes | Trainspotting with Steve Mac Part 1," where the legendary producer details the technical infrastructure and mindset behind hit production at the highest level.
Complementing this focus on tools is essential music theory and sound design education. Audible Genius bridges this gap in its "Synth Remake Tutorial" for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," decoding the iconic keys. The tutorial encourages applying these lessons across popular synths like Serum or Vital, promoting fundamental skills over specific gear.
Together, these posts curated from Plugin Alliance, Audible Genius, and Antelope Audio create a holistic learning opportunity. They guide users from understanding foundational sounds and techniques to evaluating professional-grade software and observing real-world, high-stakes production workflows.
