Why an Indie Artist Needs Two Additional Companies, Not a Dream and a PrayerLet’s start by being honest, because this is where most music advice goes soft. If you are an independent artist releasing music without a record company or a publishing company, you are not actually “free.” You are exposed. You may feel creative freedom because no one is telling you what to write or record, but from a business point of view, your music is drifting with no structure holding it in place. There is no clear owner on paper. There is no system collecting everything you are owed. There is no container protecting your work long-term. That is how artists quietly lose money, slowly give up control, and eventually lose confidence in their own future. http://www.makingascene.org

Making a Scene Presents - Focal Listen Professional Headphones - A Deep Dive ReviewWhy Tracking Headphones Matter More Than Most People ThinkTracking is where the music actually gets captured. This is the moment where a vocal performance is frozen in time, where a guitar part becomes permanent, and where mistakes either get fixed now or haunt you forever. Mixing can polish things later, but tracking is where the foundation is poured. If you can’t hear clearly while tracking, everything that comes after gets harder. http://www.makingascene.org
