However, are you utilizing those project files correctly and effectively?
I am here to share with you 5 best ways to study project files for better improvements.
1. Study Arrangements
Every genre has its own unique musical arrangement. Do you constantly ask yourself how long the drop or the break should last before making the transition into the section? You can find the answers by studying project files. Although project files can provide you the guidelines on how to arrange sections of your songs, feel free to get creative with it if the arrangement doesn’t fit the vibe of the song.
2. Study Sound Design
Are you wondering how big producers make those huge energetic leads? With project files, you can study the sounds which come along with it. Learn how to design a filthy metallic bass. Learn how to layer sounds to achieve a huge sound without over-doing it.

4. Inspiration
If you’re lacking inspirations and do not know how to turn your idea into one full track, project files can aid you in stimulating those creative juice. Most of the project files that are available online are usually inspired by big artists dominating the charts. Although we don’t recommend you to copy certain artist completely, it’s fine to create your own style by collecting small ideas here and there.
