What ACTUALLY Separates Pro Producers From Amateurs
In this video, I want to discuss 5 things that I think truly separate professional producers, mixing engineers, and musicians from hobbyists and amateurs. I think people deserve to hear the honest truth about what it takes to be a full time professional, and I'm here to lay it out based on my 10 years of experience as a professional independent producer with hundreds and credits under my belt.
