Here is a checklist of the knowledge you should look for.<\/p>\n<p><b>1.<\/b> Comprehensive mixing knowledge: This includes stereo imaging techniques such as Haas filtering, and also distance-creating techniques like delay and reverb. Pop requires a spacious, well-planned mix.<\/p>\n<p><b>2.<\/b> Comprehensive song arranging knowledge: This is easier to learn by example, but still quite challenging. Good song format is essential to creating compelling, alluring music.<\/p>\n<p><b>3.<\/b> Comprehensive sound design knowledge: Learn how to craft good synth timbres. Don&#8217;t settle for cheap-sounding presets. This includes learning how to equalize things like guitars and drums<\/p>\n<p><b>4.<\/b> Good understanding of melodic composition: To most producers, this is a very intuitive matter. Composing a good melody is just something that they can do because they&#8217;ve heard so much music, and they&#8217;ve practiced making music for so long. If you&#8217;re not inclined toward classical training, then practice and experimentation are the best way to learn how to compose a catchy melody. And a melody should always evolve.<\/p>\n<p><b>5.<\/b> Find a way to evaluate your <a name='YANDEX_7'><\/a><nobr><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_6'><\/a><span class='highlight highlight_active'>&nbsp;music&nbsp;<\/span><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_8'><\/a><\/nobr> by either comparing it to existing pop <a name='YANDEX_8'><\/a><nobr><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_7'><\/a><span class='highlight highlight_active'>&nbsp;music&nbsp;<\/span><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_9'><\/a><\/nobr> <a name='YANDEX_9'><\/a><nobr><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_8'><\/a><span class='highlight highlight_active'>&nbsp;productions&nbsp;<\/span><a href='http:\/\/hghltd.yandex.net\/yandbtm?fmode=inject&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FPop-Music-Production-Checklist%26id%3D5576431&#038;tld=com&#038;lang=en&#038;la=1459075584&#038;tm=1460491194&#038;text=site%3Aezinearticles.com%20music%20production%20inurl%3Aid&#038;l10n=en&#038;mime=html&#038;sign=88a2db1c582fbb5e84b24bc9d32ac32b&#038;keyno=0#YANDEX_10'><\/a><\/nobr> or by having it evaluated by an expert.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Pop-Music-Production-Checklist&#038;id=5576431\">Source<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/expert\/Ron_Murphy\/870215\">Ron Murphy<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Pop music is one of the most difficult genres to master for a music producer.
