  • All The Advice I Wish I Had Growing Up

    This is such a great podcast for anyone involved in music/audio production and engineering. A wealth of information pertaining to this whacky business. Everything from Life/Work Balance (because life comes before work), finances, health, and more I didn’t know that I didn’t know in the 35 years of being an audio professional.

    Thank you!

It’s digging into the unique backgrounds of so many different producers and engineers and the obstacles they’ve overcome to achieve success in a tough profession without a defined framework at times. As someone working in a non related profession by day and pouring tons of time into my music at nights and on weekends, it’s inspirational to hear from many known and unknown people in the audio... more
