Songwriters, get in the power seat!  Maintain creative control and make sure you get the song production you want, at a fair price, and in a timely manner. 

In the past, record labels used to match artists and songwriters with producers who were uniquely well suited to help their music reach maximum potential and help the artist grow their careers.

Now, in the DIY age, songwriters are expected to do everything from finding a producer-match, developing their unique sound, to contract negotiation, to knowing what deliverables are needed. songwriters are missing out on a lot of support and professional oversight in the production process.  It’s pure gut-wrenching agony.

Three Roadblocks to Good Song Production

It’s heartbreaking when an indie artist gets their song back from a producer, only to find out the song is too beat driven or too electronic. It’s not at all what they wanted. It doesn’t sound like YOU at all!

“The Right Producer Can Make All The Difference!” is an upcoming webinar featuring the co-founders of ItyDity and sponsored by Bree Nobel of Profitable Musician. The Webinar is focused on how songwriters fail to achieve the professional recording sound they want due to three major roadblocks: 

  1. Working with the wrong producer

  2. A lack of knowledge, tools and communication

  3. Getting jerked around

 

Major Roadblock #1:  Working with the wrong producer.  

Too many times, songwriters waste time and energy connecting with the wrong producer – often investing a lot of emotional energy.  

 

The Webinar teaches artists how to avoid this trap by “auditioning” producers to find a better songwriter-producer match. In a LIVE DEMO, Emily Satterlee and Jonah Brockman, co-founders of ItyDity, provide a step-by-step process to find a producer who is particularly well suited to you and your music.

LIVE Demo includes:

 

Major Roadblock #2:  Lack of song development support (honing your authentic sound)

Songwriters often fail to realize their creative vision in professionally produced recordings due to a lack of knowledge concerning the production process, lack of skills in how to collaborate for a positive outcome, and the lack of vocabulary to effectively communicate with a producer. 

 

LIVE Demo includes:

Artists will walk away knowing how to maintain their creative control and get authentic, quality results.

Major Roadblock #3:  Getting jerked around

Songwriters often get tripped up on the business side of music.  Without the right information and preparation, it is easy to fall into numerous traps and pitfalls.  

 

LIVE Demo includes:

 

Songwriters can become master’s level savvy and gain a higher level of confidence and pride in the music they create. Take your music to the next level with QUALITY production that sounds uniquely and authentically like YOU.
