🎬 NEW SERIES: If I Were Starting Again...

If I could go back and give my younger self one lesson at a time, what would they be?

Episode 1 looks at a lesson that completely changed the way I think about production and mixing.

For years I thought mixing was about making things sound better.

Eventually I realised it was really about managing attention.

Huge thanks to Charley Hullah for allowing me to use one of our projects as the example for this episode.

I’ve been producing a lot of retro 80s pop, soul and Synthwave recently and have narrowed it down to my top 4 essential VSTs to get “that 80s sound” - what have I missed fellow music producers? 🤩
