For the past several years I’ve been slowly teaching myself audio production and engineering. I worked as a professional musician for decades but never bothered to learn that side of the craft. So once in a while I’ll go down YouTube rabbit holes, watching tutorials on, say, creative uses of EQ and/or compression, or an analysis of the mix of a well-known song, or bouncing ideas and feedback off a small group of friends. Then I try to apply that to the songs that I’m working on.
The results I’ve gotten from my learning approach are decent, but I’m always comparing my own work to that of other established recording artists, and I have a lot yet to learn.

It’s a shitload of fun too.
