Should your studio recording match your live performance? This is a common question I work through with artists in the studio all the time. Weighing up that natural approach that feels honest, vs the produced approach that enhances your music and gives you a more polished result.
Like everything creative, I don't think there's a right and wrong, but there certainly is an ideal way for YOU to go about recording your music depending on what you want to achieve with your recording.
In this episode I do a full break down of the two approaches and breakdown the pros and cons for each, so you can decide the best way forward for your music.
I have a bunch of free resources available to help you move your music forward, they can be found here https://www.dottedeight.com/artist
