A Week In My Studio: Beats, Doubt & Breakthroughs
A music producer documents a full week of making beats and recording vocals using the Afrolabs VST plugin, moving from creative frustration on Monday to finishing two tracks by Thursday. The video follows a day-by-day format spanning Monday through Thursday, capturing the producer's process of building a beat, second-guessing it, scrapping ideas, and starting over. It includes a market day in Ghana where the producer and his girlfriend shop for weekly groceries, a meeting about a brand ad deal, and a conversation with a friend about the right time to release music. By the end, two demo tracks are completed, with one built around a dancehall-style bounce.
