Working on a tight budget this January? 💰
Kick off 2025 by staying creative without overspending!
Our own Christian Wright gave us advice on working to a budget at our 2022 Amplify event, and the information is still as relevant today.
Here’s more tips on how to make the most of what you’ve got:
🔄 Collaborate and Swap Skills
Team up with friends to share resources and knowledge. Great at recording and editing vocals but need help mixing drums? Trade your skills and grow together.
📱 Affordable Tools
Use voice notes for quick ideas or demos! Apps like @koalasampler are powerful budget-friendly tools for beat-making and sampling.
🎛️ Practice for Free
If you want to up your mixing game but don’t have anything to work on, there are plenty of websites offering free downloadable multitracks that you can use to practice! Check out @producelikeapro and @telefunken_mics.
🎚️ Expand Your Palette
Boost your sound with free plugins and DAWs… Decent Sampler is a great place to start!
🎸 Preloved Gear
Save big by buying second-hand or renting instruments and gear. It's a much more sustainable option and great for those on a budget.
🤓 Master What You Already Have
Who says that you need more to be better? Take the time to learn everything you can about your instrument, plugins and software. Dive deep, truly understand your tools and become a master of your craft. Check out our Production Hub for in-depth tutorials about everything from recording to releasing!
Remember, sometimes working with what you have leads to your best ideas. Creativity can thrive on limits, so let those limitations spark something amazing!
