Episode show notes:
There’s this endless internet fight about what makes music exciting:
👉 raw, “organic,” human vibes vs. polished, larger-than-life production.
Some say modern records sound boring because they’re too perfect. Others say they love the wall-of-sound, super-polished productions.
So what’s the truth? And more importantly: how do you find the sweet spot for your music?
In this episode we break it all down. We’ll talk about when to embrace imperfections, when polish actually helps, and how to make bold decisions that let your songs sound like you - not just another clone.
Let’s go!
