This episode asks you an interesting question:

When making your beats, what do you first start with? The Instruments, the Drum Loop, or do you create both at the same time?

It’s an interesting topic for discussion, upon which GratuiTous gives his opinion. It may spark some creativity for your own productions!

In addition, we cover some popular courses within GratuiTous’ music production membership, and how to overcome beat block/producer’s block.
