😞 What if your biggest creative breakthroughs are hiding inside your worst moments? 🎧 What if the self-doubt, heartbreak, or burnout you're carrying… is exactly what your music needs? In this episode of Behind The DAW, we interview melodic bass producer Nurko to unpack the emotional realities of producing music in an industry that rarely talks about the mental side of creativity. We explore questions like: ❓ What do you do when self-doubt starts to drown out your ideas? ✨ How do you reignite the magic of producing when it starts to feel like a job? 🎛️ Can emotional pain actually make your music better? 🎯 How do you stop chasing trends and finally find your own sound? 🧠 How do you stay grounded when the business side starts stealing the joy? Whether you're stuck in a creative rut, chasing validation, or just trying to remember why you started making music in the first place—this episode will remind you that your struggles don’t disqualify you… they might be your greatest asset. 🎙️ If you’re looking for: - A podcast for music producers 🎵 - Nurko’s creative process 💡 - How to overcome self-doubt as an artist 😣 - Emotional EDM insights 🎹 - Mental health in the music industry 🧘‍♂️ - Melodic bass production techniques 🎼 - Burnout recovery 🕯 - Finding your sound 🔍 - Reigniting inspiration ⚡️ - Staying grounded as an artist 🌱 Then this is the perfect episode for you... 🔔 Subscribe for more raw, real conversations with artists, producers, and industry voices on the emotional, creative, and psychological sides of building a sustainable music career. ______________________________________________________________ - FREE PACKS Free Nurko Ethereal Serum 2 Preset Pack → https://www.dawnation.net/ethereal Free Pixel Terror New Era Terror Serum 2 Preset Pack → https://www.dawnation.net/newera Free Wavium Sample Pack → https://www.dawnation.net/wavium ______________________________________________________________ - COURSES School of Bass→ https://www.dawnation.net/schoolofbass ______________________________________________________________ - ABOUT DAW NATION DAW Nation is a dedicated education platform for music producers.
