>>761785461I constantly hear that in music production there are no secrets and it's all a matter of refining the widely available techniques and skills, but then you hear certain producers who have really unique stuff that others can't replicate (particularly in sound design).
Also the fact that when a new producer comes into the circle of those unique-sounding producers, they too gain similar chops in no time, so it's obvious that there is some information that they share among themselves.
Do you think it's common for these producers to have "secret weapon" techniques that nobody else has?
