Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix

This blog is part 12 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 11. The next day passed without anything arriving to my inbox. On Sunday morning, October 26th, I was working away at my computer when it came through.  It was labeled incorrectly. It was also labeled as a master.  I found this odd also.  For starters I know I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 11 – The Fifth Session

This blog is part 11 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 10. It was a little while again before I heard back from the producer about scheduling the vocal workshop.

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

This blog is part 9 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 8 now. My next session was scheduled for September 11th which was good because I had a bit of homework. I ran through my song on bass and came up with parts based on what we’d done to that point. Again, a pretty simple song, so a pretty … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 4 – The First Official Project Meeting

This blog is part 4 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 3 here. I was a little surprised when I hopped into the scheduling page to find that I wouldn’t be scheduling our first session. Instead it would just be a virtual meeting to discuss next steps.  That part is all well and good, I figured, but I had to laugh … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer?

Spotlight On: Rose Alaimo

Today we’re turning the spotlight on Ithaca, New York’s Rose Alaimo; producer, songwriter, one-woman-band. Her most recent release A Place to Go When You Need to Hide was one of my favourites of 2023, so I had to reach out and pester her about how it all came together. We get into songwriting, learning instruments as you need to, home recording necessities and the challenges … Continue reading Spotlight On: Rose Alaimo
