Professional music production studio setup
Producer Hub UK — no hype, just finish more music

Producer Hub
UK

Stuck choosing a DAW? Got another 8-bar loop going nowhere? Not sure if that bit of gear is worth it? Start here. Make the song first, then fix what is actually getting in the way.

One decision. One session. One finished track closer.

New producer

Start from zero

Set up the basics, make one loop, then turn it into an actual song instead of another abandoned project.

Pick your DAW

Pick the software

Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Cubase, Bitwig, Pro Tools or Reason. Pick one and learn how to finish in it.

First song

Make a first full track

Get the intro, main section, break and ending down before worrying about clever mix tricks.

Free resources

Start free

Print the shortcut sheets, export checks and mix notes you will actually use beside the laptop.

What are you stuck on right now?

Do not start with everything. Start with the thing blocking the session: the DAW, the arrangement, the sound, the mix, the sample search or the bit of gear you are tempted to buy.

From loop to something worth playing back

Most producers do not need another motivational speech. They need the next move: arrange the loop, sort the drums, pick the right sound, fix the ugly bit, export it and listen somewhere else.

Pick your DAW

Use the software you actually open. Each path has shortcuts, full-track help and the bits that matter inside that DAW.

Fresh music-tech notes we think bedroom producers should actually care about: creative effects, filter movement and hybrid MIDI setups.

Baby Audio HyperWarp plugin interface and branding
Baby Audio · HyperWarp
Creative FX

Granular time-warping for loops that need movement

HyperWarp is built for glitches, stutters and fast ear-candy decisions. Best used as arrangement material: print the happy accident and keep the dry part safe.

Filter plugin

Filter sweeps become playable movement

Three analogue-style filters sit on a triangle, with one blend point moving between them. Useful for basses, drums, risers and breakdown automation.
