This year we’re going to stream 50 times. Every Friday morning I’ll be live on YouTube to answer questions, and explore music production related topics.
Will you be there for the next one?
This post is collecting the four condensed live stream videos from February 2023, which is still several hours of content to see and learn from.
A LOT of my time goes into these streams and edited videos, and I’m committing to doing them all year. Support these efforts with the YouTube Channel Membership, or Patreon.
