Producer guides

Short, practical guides on the musical side of production — written by the team behind GhostMidi's music engine. No fluff, lots of things you can hear.

How to write a chord progression

Pick a key, meet the six chords that matter, steal proven patterns, then break them on purpose. The producer's path into harmony.

What is MIDI? (And how to use it in your DAW)

What a .mid file actually contains, why producers write with MIDI instead of audio loops, and the three-step import for FL Studio, Ableton, and Logic.

How to start a song from scratch

The blank-page cure: three constraints, chords first, then bass, melody, and drums — one decision at a time until the song exists.

Prefer downloads to reading?

The free MIDI library has genre-authentic chord progressions — trap, lo-fi, house, trance, drill, neo-soul — each explained and downloadable.
