012. Part 1: ProducerHead Gems 01, Part 1, Beat Writer's Block, Tune Your Ears, and Achieve Your Goals | feat. WEI, Cryptic One, Just Jared, and Jacuzzi Jefferson

Welcome to the first installment of ProducerHead Gems, where we will take a look back at some of the best that past guests have shared on ProducerHead.

This will be a two part episode and in Part 1, we will hear from Cryptic One, Jacuzzi Jefferson, Just Jared, and WEI.

First up is Just Jared sharing ideas for how to go about learning production whether you're just starting out or an experienced producer interested in expanding your existing knowledge.

What I love about Jared's approach is the emphasis on setting high-level goals to provide direction and aligning with your work through the application of what you learn in smaller pieces over time.

To hear more from Just Jared, check out Episode 004 of ProducerHead.

WEI came by on Episode 005 to round out the first season and share his perspective on how to be a good collaborator. Not only that, he left us with an important reminder to consider when thinking about music and the various platforms through which we interact with music and each other.

Here is Jacuzzi Jefferson, sharing a glimpse of what it's like to be a student in his college course, where he teaches electronic music production. Listen up to catch some ideas for expanding your own musical tastes and stepping up your game as a mixing engineer and producer.

Here is Cryptic One, who joined us in Episode 003 to share his take on Writer's Block as well as how to break through it. How does this compare to your own view? Is Cryp's position on Writer's Block as controversial as he thinks?

Tap in to the full conversation with Cryptic One on Episode 003, where we also get into How To Find Your Own Sound, Impostor Syndrome, and other topics.
