The first step of Studio Pros’ full music production package is laying down a guitar/keyboard track with a melody line synced to a click. We call it: A Sketch. The sketch will help the rhythm section (the drummer and bass player) to understand the structure, the chord progression and the melody of the song. This is the foundation of the production and will later be replaced by the final guitars/keys. The sketch will NOT serve as part of the production’s… [Read More]

It’s time to plan some amazing goals for 2011.

Italian artist Andrea Iorio incorporated Studio Pros into his writing process from thousands of miles away. Andrea Iorio’s curiosity was piqued when he read an article about Studio Pros in Sound on Sound magazine. Living in Tuscany, Italy, he thought Studio Pros’ Los Angeles-based session players might be the best option for his songs. In fact, Iorio saw living in a different country from the musicians who would be recording his tracks as an advantage for his music. As an… [Read More]
Have you ever tried talking to someone about your music? Sometimes describing something so abstract can be a little tricky. “I want this song to have a smooth vibe, but still be a little rough around the edges.” “This song should rock out and have tons of energy.” “This track very ethereal and spiritual, but without being corny.” Sound like anything you’ve heard before? Each of these things means a specific thing to the artist. But what it means to… [Read More]
Wouldn’t it be great if you got a huge, international hit with the first song you ever wrote? Wouldn’t it feel good if the first album you recorded sold a million copies?

It’s perfectly acceptable to shoot for the stars. Actually, if you don’t set your sights… [Read More]
