Ep 3 - Professional studios are overrated (why you can do better on your own)

Tired of spending thousands on professional studio recordings that don't capture your band's true sound? In this episode, I share why professional studios are overrated and how you can create pro-quality recordings at home.

I’m sure a lot of you can relate to this…

You pool your money to record at a professional studio thinking this is the golden ticket to achieving the sound you are after. Fast forward, and what you get is a sterile, overproduced product that sounds nothing like the raw energy you have live.

This is not a unique experience. It’s a common disconnect between what you wanted and what the studio was giving you. Professional studios are often more concerned with perfection than passion.

And that’s a big reason why recording on your own is a better option.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into why professional recording studios are overrated and why you could do it better on your own.

The main topics I discuss include:
Cost
Creative control
The accessibility of gear
The power of DIY
Energy and authenticity

Start small, get some basic gear, and begin recording at home. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be creating music that sounds even better than what you’d pay for at some overpriced studio.
