Soft Skills for Producers, Engineers & Musicians, Or: “How To Win Fans and Influence Gatekeepers”
Your technical skills as a producer or engineer are only half the equation… And maybe even less than that!
You already know this to be true.
Have you ever found yourself complaining about how an annoying rival or artist is “only successful because of their connections”?
Or have you ever caught yourself saying “they’re not talented, they’re just good at marketing”?
Let’s be honest, when we find ourselves thinking these thoughts, we know deep down that a lot of it is just “cope”( as the kids call it these days).
…But there’s also a grain of truth there:
What takes you to the next level is often your people skills—your “soft skills“.
This is often what truly separates talented amateurs who get great results in their bedrooms from those who make sustainable careers. (Or even just truly gratifying hobbies for themselves in music.)
Whether you’re looking to make money in music, or simply get into more fulfilling artistic collaborations, this is what you really need to focus on once you reach competence in audio and music production. Check out the episode here:
