Most DIY artists try to keep every option open, record super clean tracks, and then rely on mixing to make it exciting.
But the truth is:
Great records come from bold production decisions, not from endless options or a "safe" approach.
In this podcast episode and YouTube video, we’ll show you how to:
- Think like a producer again (even in your bedroom studio)
- Use mic placement, cheap gear, or weird spaces to create vibe
- Commit to sounds instead of leaving everything for later
- Make unique records that actually stand out
Whether you’re mixing your own songs or handing them off to a mixer, bold choices in production will always make your tracks sound better, more exciting, and more professional.
👉 If you’re tired of your recordings sounding like demos, this episode will help you break free from the “fix it in the mix” trap.
Let’s go!
