Please help. What is/was your strategy for sound collection?
Again and again I keep running into the same issue - endlessly searching for sounds during creativity flow. Auditioning 200 snares and scrolling through presets and samples does not help the momentum. More and more this makes sense to me to have a collection of sounds prepared before producing. In recent Produce-A-Ton, Dane showed his collection of recorded sounds in Sampler menu. Now I’m eager to know whether ther’s like the best strategy for building my collection. What was your strategy? Did you organize by: Genre? Element (kicks, snares, basses, vocals)?Emotional character? Texture (warm, digital, dusty, aggressive, soft)?“Go-to” sounds that always work for you?

How...
So I have the Intro/Verse/Chorus assignment ready to share with the community for feedback. But it doesn't seem to want to load as an attachment. How would you prefer we share these types of files? 😄

Don't Be Fooled...
I'm new to this amazing community and already feel as though I've finally found an amazing family! I wanted to share a little about my situation if I may... We built a very high-end music production studio the beginning of this year. The investment was north of $50k! I am not sharing this to flex but to say, my thought in building this studio was "if I only had my dream studio, I could move mountains for my family and my career as a music producer". It turns out that, even though I am extremely grateful and humbled every time I get to come in here and work on projects, getting caught up in the idea that we can ONLY achieve our goals if we have this amazing thing or that amazing thing is very self-defeating and self-sabotaging! Although it is an awesome feeling being able to work with all the hardware and software this studio has to offer, I can say with absolute certainty that I deal more with overwhelm and frustration having too many choices that kill momentum and inspiration very quickly. A simple setup (laptop, headphones, interface, condenser mic, DAW) would've done just as much with MUCH less headache as having all the shiny new plugins and softwares etc. I just want to say, don't let the thought "if only I had ..." get between you and your goals. Don't be fooled by that idea that you need this thing or that thing to be great at what you do...I'm here to tell you, it's simply not at all true. You will be great at what you do because YOU decide what you have (and don't have) aren't going to determine your story, only what you choose to do now determines your story.
