Sam Matla is the founder of EDMProd, a blog and resource website that teaches electronic music producers how to make better music and overcome creative problems. He published The Producer's Guide to Workflow & Creativity after running EDMProd for two years, which has received an immense amount of positive feedback and helped musicians and producers across the world.

Key Take Aways:

• With any project, you have to be able to come to the point where you say it's "good enough"
• The multitude of choices available to the producer can be paralyzing
• When a style of music becomes generic or over-done, it's often the perfect opportunity for someone with new ideas to build on it, and do something really exciting
• As a producer, or anyone in music, you cannot overestimate the power of networking
• Your work ethic has to be on point if you want to make it in the music industry
• As an EDM producer, start with your local scene. Don't try to skip this step
• Set clear objectives for every work session to stay productive
• Don't try to skip around on different tasks. This becomes a very inefficient way to work
• Most people work better in the mornings, for a variety of biological reasons. Consider at least trying it, even if you consider yourself a night owl
