Welcome to the video, go to plugins. And now I present to you workflow killer number two, always looking for the right sound sample or plugin. I know you know what I'm talking about, you're in the mood to write, and you have the idea in your head. But you're unable to find the right sound. You go through your loop library, which has about 50,000 loops and nothing. You sift through your many sample libraries and you cannot find the right tone to match your song.

Maybe you know a little bit about synthesis, so you play with the settings. And while you may have improved the sound, it's not quite what you're looking for. This is workflow killer number two, a way to combat this sore spot is by not worrying about it at all. There has been a ton of research done on productivity and creativity. And a lot of it suggests that when you eliminate choices You are then free to be creative. I call it the 8020 rule.

The idea is to use your moments of inspiration wisely, and just focus on creating. So when you first start up a session, and you're amped up, ready to go, then you draft out 80% of the song right there. And then you should not concern yourself with the tones or the mix or anything technical at this point, you're strictly just getting the ideas from inside of your head onto your dw. This is the very reason I want you to set up your session templates. So you no longer have to make these choices. If you want a guitar.

It's right there. If you want strings that are right there. If you want an acoustic guitar setting, or drums or loops, that's one of my favorite things to do is you know, sometimes I'll just have a loop in there and they just serve as a filler. And while it may not be the right loop, I've got something that will remind me of what it is I ultimately want to accomplish. sonically, here's some suggestions that can help. Now that you set up your template, default and project specific, you're free to create.

Once you finish your 8020 sketch, you can focus on nailing the right sound later. suggestion number two, go through your software instruments and presets, so you can find your favorite sounds. This will eliminate a lot of wasted time searching through your plugins. suggestion number three, save your favorite material as user channel strip settings and save track stack patches. You can see my user channel strip settings here I've got basses, strings, down effects, down sweeps, risers, uplifters brass favorite percussion, the idea is that you've got these, these tools available to you when you need them. suggestion number four, something that I've been Lately is going through the loop library and marking my favorites.

While this is time consuming initially, ultimately it will save you time as you narrow the spectrum from over 23,000 loops contained in logic to just your selected favorites. I hope these help. I'll see you in the next video, in which we'll talk about setting up your tracks with proper audio treatment. Thank you for watching.
