Mindset & Productivity 🧠

The 80/20 Rule and why it is important

Let's talk about something that is so very important to keep in mind. The Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule! If you "analyze your life" and get the data about what is going on, no matter if you tweak tracks, optimize your template, check Facebook or notifications all day long. Being aware of this rule will increase your productivity like crazy and this is also the reason why some people get done more in less time than others. Here is a sum up of the 80/20 rule: The 80/20 Principle asserts that a minority of causes, inputs, or effort usually lead to a majority of the results, outputs, or rewards. Taken literally, this means that, for example, 80 percent of what you achieve in your job comes from 20 percent of the time spent.

For everyone being a member of the Audio Artist Rise Program. From now on you will find access to all the six weekly live calls in the Calendar tab of the Audio Artist Rise Program on Skool. If you are an AAR Program member but you don't have access yet, you probably didn't accept the invitation to it yet. Make sure to check your email folder and look out for the invitation to Audio Artist Rise. In case, you didn't receive anything yet, please let me know.

Collecting Feedback for "Mockup Craft"

Hey beautiful artists! I am collecting feedback for my new course that goes under the name "Mockup Craft" If you have a few seconds, I would love to know about what topics you would like to have covered. Some of you already provided me with some valuable feedback but I just want to make sure to cover as much stuff as possible that YOU want and need, rather than me releasing some course I think serves you well. So, to sum it up again. My goal is to build a huge course that covers everything about: - DAW (preparing a session, templates, shortcuts, other essentials) - MIDI (CC, Velocity, etc.) - Sample Libs - Ideas & Inspiration - Mixing & Mastering - Writing a track (Starting, Finalizing, Workflow) What else would you like to see? Just let it flow! :) When will this course be released? Mockup Craft has already been released as an early access course. Meaning, as a gift to join early, you get it a lot cheaper than the final price. In return, content will be available over a period of the next few weeks. PLUS, if you have feedback about what you are missing, I can react and record and optimize new videos. Audio Artist Rise Program Members will get it for free. The early access price is 49 USD. Final price will definitely be above 249/299 USD because I am aiming to create my biggest course covering everything you need to write compelling and solid music.

Hi Alex! 🔥 Such an awesome idea, as always! I’m super excited about it. Here’s my feedback to make "Mockup Craft" even better: 1️⃣ DAW Basics (especially for beginners) - 🖥 I’m an absolute DAW beginner, so I’m interested in learning all the basics to get started properly. - I’m using Final Cut Pro on my Mac (yeah, I know you use a different DAW, but maybe there’s a way to make the content more universal?). That would be awesome! 🎶 2️⃣ Step-by-Step Guide & Workflow - 🚶‍♂️ Step-by-step: From the very first idea to the finished song. Really, the entire process. How to start, how to proceed, and how to end up with a final product. - 🧩 Tempo settings: How to set them up correctly and adjust them. - 🔁 Syncing loops & audio tracks: How to match them together and create multi-layered tracks. 3️⃣ AI & Useful Apps as Support - 🤖 Super interesting: How can AI be integrated into the workflow effectively? Which tools/apps are the most useful to speed up or optimize the process? 🆕 Additional ideas that I think would be useful: 1. Sound Design Basics 🎛️: How to create and tweak your own sounds. This would really take things to the next level. 2. Arranging & Structuring 🎼: How to build tension, vary melodies, and plan the song to keep it interesting? 3. Vocal Processing 🎤: If you have your own vocals – how to record, edit, and blend them perfectly into the mix. 4. Effects & Automation 🌊: How to work with effects (reverb, delay, etc.) and how to use automation to add more dynamics. 5. Sample Management 📂: How to organize samples and integrate them into your workflow, so you don’t waste time searching every time. Hope this helps you! I’m super excited about the course. 🎶💥

@Alex Pfeffer Oh, my bad, now that you mention it, I totally see it too. 😅 Yeah, of course! I didn't mean that, I actually meant Logic Pro. 🎶

1000?! Yes, we made it! Thank you all!

Hey guys, first of all, I have been on the road for the last couple of days so there was bit of radio silence from my end and I am sorry about that. However, I am back in the studio ready to rumble. 🚀 Now, THANK YOU!! 🥳🥳🥳 We made it to 1000 members! In fact we are already on the way to hit 1100 :) This all wouldn't have been possible without you guys, so thank you so much! I am still thinking about the best way on how to celebrate this, so if you have any ideas let me know 👇 Now, what's the plan for the next weeks? I am currently in the concept of, finally, releasing a new course that will dedicated to everything regarding creating mockups. Basic stuff such as dynamics, CC commands, music theory, most instrument categories (orchestral, choirs, rock, drums, hybrid stuff, synths, basic audio recording), DAW settings and tips, how to finish tracks, my personal approach, how to work efficient, etc. I am aiming towards building my biggest course module so far to get you generally going with everything around creating solid mockups and tracks. ... and yes, if you are an Audio Artist Rise Member, you will get access to it for free! For everyone else interested in this course only, I would again introduce the course with an early access offer. Meaning, the course will be built throughout the next weeks, but in return you get in for just a fraction of the price and be locked in, no matter the final price. So, thanks so much again for all your support and let me know what you think?
