It's very complex, difficult, expensive, interesting and fun to be an independent music producer. Volume three covers my attempts to: make acoustic improvements to the studio; cut down my production times; learn the art of mastering in-house ad much much more.
As in my two earlier volumes, I share with you great tips, videos, my headaches, setbacks and successes - all open for you to see and learn from.
