Can you really make a professional-sounding album yourself?
Martin Kreuzer from Steady Drops had doubts. He questioned whether he could pull it off. And so did his band mates.
Until they did it.
Now he joins us to share how his band recorded, produced and mixed their latest album entirely in-house. And what it actually took to make that happen.
We talk about preparation, creating a sonic vision, recording real drums, learning to mix, building confidence as a producer and knowing when to ask for help.
We also discuss:
- Why demos & pre-production are so important
- Preparing before you hit Record
- Recording authentic performances
- Mixing your own music
- Learning much faster with coaching and feedback
- Why great songs always come first
If you’re working on your own record, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can apply immediately.
