Hey everyone! One of the most dangerous questions in all of music is asking "What Should I Do?" A few weeks ago... we had a situation at MAD Records that highlights exactly how distracting that question can be. Check out the full story here: https://open.substack.com/pub/madrecords/p/what-should-i-do?r=3waws0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Let us know how you feel about the decision we made in the SubStack comments! 🫡⚔️ Michael from mad records

What's up FTM fam? First of all I just want to thank everyone for the kind words you all have been saying about the song used today for this week's Fix The Mix! I was trying to keep an eye on the zoom chat even though I was in and out of the FTM session all day because of my day job but I did see a lot of questions about production and sound capture and thought it might be cool to do a session where I could answer some of those questions and chat about rock production and composition. If you think that would be great, shoot me a message here on skool and/or on socials: Message and/or follow me at: https://www.instagram.com/therealmattmendoza https://www.tiktok.com/@therealmattmendoza https://www.facebook.com/therealmattmendoza By the way, These Dreary Days is a new release of mine that just dropped last week. You can hear my mix here: https://open.spotify.com/track/6vrQeEAKOb93Qz53QUZd6P?si=fd22cc90b4794663 and I'm beyond stoked to hear how master Jake makes the song sound by the end of this week.

Maybe it's time for everyone to share what their DAW is missing that they wish it could do. All DAWs are not equal in capabilities or are too complicated compared to others.
