6 Organization Hacks Every Music Producer Should Know 

powerfull stuff, keep it coming

It would be really cool to see a video of how you split your week. What day of the week you just produce, what day you create sounds, and what day you just relax. Sorry for my English.

Organizing is good, but for me even more important is Never have to many of them! Otherwise your just scrolling into infinity wasting time to sounds that dosent work. Make your selected presets/samples favorite of favorites, never have more than say 50-100 presets to find them at once! Fast acess means less time for creativity to escape you! Name every preset 01 etc in the order of the most used ones first, save all as a soundbank, and if its possible set them to start at default! If you work in Ableton or Bitwig you may save the mixing device chain as presets to if you have a complex signal path! 👍

Couldnt agree more! Always make time to organize your stuff. Samples, presets, projects, templates, anything ✌

Best logic and edm tutorials on RU-vid! Quick, clear, and to the point! Thanks Big Z.

Great tips!! There are so many shitty presets in Serum, even in some famous guys sample packs as well. I've done the same as u here and deleted all those I dont use that don't fit to the style I am producing. The cloud thing was genius! Thnx for sharing

Thanks for sharing this! I’m just beginning to integrate working in a DAW with my previous hardware specific workflow. These tips are going to help me greatly.

Somebody again gotta be ur best ever release!!

That plugin organisation tip was legit!! I’ve wanted to do that for years!! I’ve been jealous of Ableton users for it! Nice one brother!

Yessir! always back up the project files to the cloud. You can redownload your samples and plugins anytime later. Definitely saves money as well so you don't have to always buy external hard drives.

Great tips thank you! To add to that I’ve been going through my serum libraries and renaming the presets to more meaningful names . And tweaking the presets to my liking more, like adding velocity sensitivities and changing waveforms . ( can be tedious though )

Immense tips Big Z - you're a gift to the world of music creators. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and talent. Just purchased your awesome sounding drum packs and looking forward to making music with them. 🎶🤟

My biggest problem was not naming My projects over the years. To organize I made a system of folders by year and project folders name with a code for the DAW vertion and year then number. Inside each is the main DAW file and a MP3 sample with a short cut then sevraul sub folders for Stems, Samples, Presets, versions, then all the shortcuts are copied in a folder. From there each is named and a code added for type hh da For Dark Hip Hop, db de for Deep Drum n Bass then if I can then use the windows search function to find any project.

I’m looking forward to see a Big Z Vital preset pack soon :)

Awesome tips man !!

hey is there anything you can do about apple music confusing your artist profile and songs with other Big Z artists? last time I checked you weren't a gangster hip hopper!

One question.. What spec PC do you use? What kinda of mac?

What do you do when you update plugins with all those customized folders? Do you re-drag them from the default installation folder to your customized ones again one by one?

is iCloud drive a good idea for a cloud backup?

Thank god i use ableton live! xd

Why don't you use iCloud as cloud storage?

Send me the drives that dont work, My dad can restore your drive. Ill have it sent back to you if your down
