Every music producer encounters beat block from time to time.
In the tutorial video above, expert beat maker Isaac Duarte shares five of his top music production tips that are designed for breaking through these blocks and sparking new ideas in 2025. From composition techniques like using Create to find unique accents and phrases to improving your creative workflow with better VST organization, these insights are applicable for beginner and seasoned producers alike.
As he wraps his tutorial, Duarte emphasizes that it’s important to avoid solely tunneling in on music production tips; in order to fuel long-term growth and creative fulfillment, it’s key to also pair these with mindset shifts. “I hope these ‘cheat codes’ not only help you out, but also set you up for 2025 so that you can win,” Duarte shares. “Let’s get all that self-doubt out of the way, and put forth action and consistency, because those are the true foundations—and if we don’t have those, then we’re just going to say it’ll happen for us someday, when that someday could be today.”
