When it comes to production tips, you tend to focus on getting the song produced. Producer Chris Lake has shared a trick for the long term, however, that is definitely a must-know for all producers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posting on Twitter, the hit producer explained why he can no longer revisit old tracks and how he wished he’s thought ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “Once you finish a track, make sure you back up that project, but take into consideration how hard it may be to open this up in 10-15 years when you could get the rights back to your single (if you released it on another label).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Often, third party plugins won\u2019t work the same years down the road. It\u2019s best to bounce out stems to audio. You can always open those up in another DAW down the line. I can\u2019t revisit so many of my old tracks because I can\u2019t find the right files \/ plug-ins etc to open them.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other major names in the industry were quick to support his point, including Laidback Luke and Bassjackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake also said he is planning on producing some video tutorials “soon” on how he approaches his project organisation \u2013 this tip will no doubt be mentioned in it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Random tip for newer producers out there. Once you finish a track, make sure you back up that project, but take into consideration how hard it may be to open this up in 10-15 years when you could get the rights back to your single (if you released it on another label).<\/p>— Chris Lake (@chrislake) November 22, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
