Writing, producing, and recording music at home has become a common approach to self-releasing music. 

Think of the musician, the producer, and the engineer, as three different personalities working on a musical project.

What they share in common is the value of creative output. But ‘creative output’ may have a different meaning for each personality, so the collaborative effort is a skill to balance. 

​

One thing is certain, the ultimate goal for each is to serve the music. 

​

Each personality, the musician, the producer, and the engineer, can be a team of people working in the studio setting or it can be the responsibility of a single person, getting their songs ready for release.

This blog provides insight into the recording cycle, from pre-production to the 'stream-ready' final product, while bridging the perspective of the creative and technical to cultivate a meaningful studio setting collaboration.
