He has been in the industry as both an artist and programmer and has a wealth of experience to share with producers.We dive into his background and how he studied music composition in college, which opened the door to many different opportunities (despite the 'normal' career trajectory of becoming a teacher). This set off a chain reaction of events, including a short DJ career in leagues with acts like Skrillex and deadmau5, which eventually lead him to learning programming and starting Xfer.We also cover the massive success of Serum, and how it performed better than how he could have ever imagined, including the rent-to-own partnership with Splice.Steve is excellent at drawing parallels between music production and programming and has many great pieces of advice for upcoming producers.Links:Serum Rent-To-Own → https://splice.com/plugins/15493-serum-vst-au-by-xfer-recordsSongwriting For Producers → https://www.edmprod.com/songwriting-for-producersConnect with Steve Duda:Xfer Website → https://xferrecords.comTwitter → https://twitter.com/steve_dudaTimestamps:EDMProd:Website → https://edmprod.comInstagram → https://instagram.com/edmprodgramFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/EDMPsiteSoundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/edmprodSpotify → https://sptfy.com/edmprodAden Russell (Artsea):Instagram → https://instagram.com/iamartseaFacebook → https://facebook.com/iamartseaSpotify → https://sptfy.com/iamartseaSoundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/iamartsea
