#55: John Holt - The Audio Journey

John Holt runs The Audio Journey, which teaches music production, especially for beginners. Though he covers some of the most basic concepts in entering music production, he also covers some more complex ideas and problems most producers face when it comes to advancing and finishing tracks. It's pretty obvious that John and I read a lot of the same books, listen to the same podcasts, and subscribe to a lot of the same philosophies. There's a lot of "yes! I love that book too!" moments. The result is a pretty extensive set of show notes to go along with this episode. We had a really nice conversation exploring some of the common problems producers of all levels face, and shared our different solutions with each other.  Listen on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Play Show Notes: The Audio Journey The Audio Journey YouTube Channel The Audio Journey Instagram The Audio Journey Facebook The Audio Journey Twitter Gary Vaynerchuk - for regular and swift motivational kicks in the @$$.
