Advice for new producers

New blog post: "Advice For Young Producers"
http://fanumusic.com/advice-for-producers/

”What tips would you give to a new producer?” is what I am asked quite often.
I can never answer that very briefly, as there is no brief answer, and it all in total is a bit of a long story. Many times I have said, ”I could/should write an essay answer to that”, and feeling like I finally kind of owe that to all those who have asked me, I decided to finally write a somewhat exhaustive post about it instead of keeping it as a list of notes on my notepad forever.

I hope this is useful! I'd love to hear your comments on this one.

Wal Martian's attention to detail has me on the floor laughing.
@Wal... Are you a copy editor or something?

I love it!

Cheers,
Ian

I'm no copy editor I work in IT. If you want a professional brand, things like spelling and even font choice are more important than you would think.

Unnecessary commas:
"close friends often can’t give you criticism, either,"
"making others dislike you, too."
"E.g., " "(e.g., " "I.e., " choose e.g. or i.e. with no comma after
"nothing’s stopping you, either."

"likes/plays/etc"
likes, plays etc.
" (album/EP/etc)"
(album, EP, etc.)

"Another word about relevance." sentence fragment, change . to a : or ;

Oh wow. Thanks for your input, man...maybe choosing a color is important, too?
