This video series is a project developed as scripts during Lockdown 1.0, and filmed in the interim between Lockdown 2.0; this was made as an R&D and engagement project with support from a grant from Creative Victoria, who have likewise supported so many of my colleagues in sustaining their creative careers during this challenging time. The videos are short ‘quick tip’ type videos, covering basic preparation and processes that have regularly come up with musicians who may be going to a professional studio for the first time. If you are an emerging musician, there are lots of helpful pointers here for getting yourself ready for a positive and good value experience in the studio.
