Where do you find the right chords for this genre?
It took me hundreds of beats to finally figure out what was missing in my production.
I tried to learn on my own through random youtube tutorials and blogs I read online.
I spun my wheels for years.
And after teaching hundreds of students I know now why.
The answer is simple:

But with the internet sending us new tutorials every other day it leaves us feeling even more confused than when we started.
How do you apply sidechain compression?
What plug-ins are best for beats like the Weeknd?
There's no clear cut path.
It took me years of trial-and-error, wasting time trying to learn concepts I thought I needed only to end up months later in the same spot.
