Musician's Survival Guide to a Killer Record

Musician's Survival Guide to a Killer Record

You're a musician. Like most musicians these days, you write songs. And when you write a song that you're all excited about, you record it, probably mostly at home, perhaps in some local studios too. You may even invite some friends to participate. Then you probably put your new record on streaming sites, band sites, and social media sites, perhaps all of those, because you feel you absolutely killed it, and the whole world needs to hear this record right now. Some months later, you listen to your record again, only to realize you still adore the song, but the record itself? It fell short, somehow. Just like the last one did. Which brings up a very important question:Are you 100% satisfied with your records?I ask, because I already know that most of you are going to answer no to that. Some of you might even believe it's not even possible to be 100% satisfied with your records.I'm here to tell you that it is. Who am I? I'm Mixerman aka Eric Sarafin.
