3 Ways to Use Studio Downtime to Boost Your Career

How to Stay Productive During Studio Downtime

What should you be doing when the session calendar is quiet and the console isn’t lit up? In this insightful and entertaining episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody dive into 3 essential categories of activities to help you stay productive when you're not tracking, mixing, or mastering for the hottest band in town.

Whether you’re between big projects or facing a creative lull, this episode offers clear strategies to maximize your time — from refining your technical skills and organizing your gear to recharging your creative energy and building your business.

Expect smart suggestions like:

• Creative ways to upgrade your mix templates
• How to use reference listening for growth
