Tip #61: Do your best to better the sound quality of your productions and compare your mixes to those of the Top Sellers.
Tip #62: If the next track you upload isn’t better than your previous efforts then don’t bother uploading it; always learn and grow as a composer and producer.
Tip #63: Don’t ruin your mix! Have headroom! Keep your average meter around -10 or -14 dBFS. Limiter plays tricks on you sometimes.
Tip #63: Put limiter on master when creating preview, to avoid clipping after you place watermarks.
Tip #65: Try not to measure sales on a daily basis, or even on a weekly. Look for monthly indications of growth and think loooooooongterm. Understand that your customers have ebbs and flows too, so don’t try to figure it out. You can’t.
Tip #66: If you are unsure about a track ask someone elses opinion - think about who and why they would buy your track.
I’ve collated all of these in a public document, in case someone wants to print them all out for themselves - as this list has become quite long and not so manageable.
Feel free to continue adding tips to the thread, and if you do, add them to the doc as well.
Anyone who has the link can edit the document. I will keep a local copy on my computer. Please don’t vandalize the online document because I will just replace it!
Tip #67: When finishing a song, don’t rush to mix, mater, and submit. Instead take your time - give your ears a rest and listen to your work the next day and correct any issues. Your ears get used to things really quickly and tricks your brain as to what you are really listening to.
Wonderful resource guys! Kudos to Phil for starting it. Kudos bro!
Tip #68: If you haven’t already, subscribe to the “Pensado’s Place” youtube channel and start absorbing a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. The amount of world class tips and techniques shared by world class engineers and producers is truly mind blowing. All for free… my god, what an age we live in. We are so blessed. 
Tip #69: When you get the chance, listen to the music in your AudioJungle account on a different computer/different speakers. If you go to university or are a member of a local library use their public computer, plug in your headphones (even the same ones you mix with) and have a good listen. You’ll notice that it sounds a little bit different depending on their sound driver and the settings on their computers. Remember, your clients will probably not be using the same gear you have and will probably have something more similar to what universities/libraries have so bear this in mind when mixing.
ADG3studios saidgarethcoker saidIm going to make all my tracks sticky from now on and put them in the fromage. Sticky. :)Tip #2: When making a tips thread, make sure to ask Envato to sticky it in the forum, otherwise it will eventually get lost because of the lack of a decent forum search system.
Tip #70: Get up and move. Tempting as it is with all this new technology, your body needs exercise, everyday. Do not spend 8-16 hours in your studio chair/bed/sofa working on your latest epic track. (We’ve all done it…at least, I have) Go take a walk, jog, (or in my case, rollerblade) get the circulation and the blood flowing, come back with renewed mind, spirit, inspiration and lay the smackdown!
Tip #71: Analyze mathematically the structure and length of music by watching commercials. trailers and every video productions. Ex: intro (10sec.) + spread (20sec.) + return (10 sec.).
Tip #72: Do at least 3 version of a track: 60 sec. - 30sec - No Drum
Tip #73: Edit your watermark to be audible but unobtrusive. Put it in time with the track, don’t let it land on musically important moments, and ride the levels to match the music. We all hope that the potential buyer can “hear through” the watermark, but that is easier said than done.
Tip #74: Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, especially if there’s a hole at the bottom of it.
Throw away old or rotten eggs.
Keep throwing eggs at the wall until there’s enough there to make an omelette.
Sometimes you have to just take a break and sit down or your eggs will never hatch.
If somebody throws an egg at you, don’t be a chicken and go hide in your coop.
If they keep throwing eggs at you… DUCK, or the yolk is on you.
Sorry that last part was cheesy. But then again, you could use that for your omelette!
Tip #75: Before you upload your preview MP3, add ID3 tags to it. Often, customers will download previews and then, when they are ready to buy, forget the name of the track/composer and the filename doesn’t give the actual name of the item. If you add the tags to the file, they can use the tags to find the track. Make sure you include the title of the track, your Audiojungle username as composer, the Audiojungle category as either genre or album name. i also like to add my profile page location or my actual website URL to the Author URL tag. It only takes a few minutes but will add yet another way for a custoemr to find you.
Tip #80: Do a search on the forums before posting repeat questions for the umpteenth time (e.g. what DAW? Why $2 extra, …)
Don’t upload it just to upload something new if you are not sure whether you are satisfied with it or not.
Guys, please try to remember to number the tips!
The 2 above were Tip #81 and Tip #82.
Please, follow the guidelines to keep everything organized. Thanks.
Tip #81 Try to do a full-fledged tracks. Develop musical idea to the end. And the good + the longer the sound of your track = more expensive it will cost
Update:
Okay, so now JohnBogun deleted his previous post (or someone did…) and reposted it as Tip #81.
That means Marcozannone’s tip is 82.
The next tip will be #83. Confused yet?
Thanks! :bigsmile:
