Summary

"It feels almost like if we don't document it, did it happen? And I need proof that it did." I was listening to an interview with Erin Napier of Home Town on Southern Living's Biscuits and Jam podcast recently and this statement stayed with me. "A major part of my personality is documenting," she said, and I nodded to myself. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about the art and practice of documentation, six things I'm documenting in the studio lately, practical resources I use to track and organize this data, and suggestions for developing this practice in your music studio.
