I’ve launched a new series of Getting Started videos to support anyone who wants to record their music but may not even know where to begin. Start with what you have before investing more time & money; you can scale your efforts as your musical goals change & budget allows.

With remote collabs, you can quickly have a full production ready for mixing & mastering without having to get dressed or leave your home.

You shouldn’t have to wait until the tracking session or live gig to figure out if a song will come together the way you hope it will.

Develop a creative workflow and then find technology that will compliment your process, not complicate it. Remember that the level of quality in our music has to be preserved by the songwriters and the musicians, not the tools.

When used wisely, technology can be an incredibly effective tool for creating new music but it can also become the biggest hurdle in creating music that still feels musical. There must be a balance between efficiency and originality. We need to find tools to enhance our creativity, not to restrict, and certainly not to replace our creativity.
