  • Amazingly Digestible. Easily Graspable.

    I am used to watching YouTube videos on production content and having to buffer through unwanted info and revisit info I couldn’t grasp the first time. With THIS podcast, I’m able to possibly consume what I needed and hear it relate to real lives, and go back later to bookmarked areas and apply when ready. Amazing 🙌🏽

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

159. The Multi-Platinum Mindset
Q: What's your approach to balancing perfectionism with staying prolific in a career as a songwriter/producer?
Know when a track is finished, don't overcook it, and accept that you can do another one; what matters is the idea and the room's flow, not making every detail perfect in one pass.
159. The Multi-Platinum Mindset
Q: Can you talk me through how that first big song came about and what happened in the moments around the camp in Toronto?
The writing camp in Toronto was selective for new writers; we wrote a complete song rapidly in 30-35 minutes with a small, talented group, and that energy translated into a record that majors wanted to cut, leading to a major publishing deal and wider opportunities.
158. Production vs Mixing
Q: What are practical signs that a track is ready to hand off for mixing?
Have clear goals and unresolved questions addressed, ensure the emotional impact is intact, and provide a rough but solid baseline so the mixer can build from a strong foundation.
158. Production vs Mixing
Q: How do you define the boundary between production and mixing?
Amy explains that the boundary is blurred; production shapes the overall vibe and character, while mixing focuses on elevating and polishing that foundation, with the final decisions often occurring in the mixing stage.
155. From 0 to 1M Streams in a Month - The Creation Process
Q: How did Gold begin and what was the starting point for the track?
It started as a casual demo between friends, which exploded on TikTok, leading them to finish production quickly and collaboratively, rather than following a traditional production path.
