Episode Description

This week we’re exploring the most overrated advice in music production.Not bad advice. Not wrong advice. Just ideas that might be over-repeated, oversimplified, or applied without context.From “use reference tracks” to “you need analog warmth,” “limit yourself,” and “finish everything,” we’re unpacking why certain producer mantras stick — and when they genuinely help versus when they quietly hold us back.Sometimes growth isn’t about new plugins or new gear. It’s about re-examining the creative rules we’ve absorbed along the way.Join us for a round robin conversation about nuance, context, and finding your own working philosophy.Thanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:💌 audionauticsounds@gmail.com 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/uTRbCmCjSunwarper: https://sunwarper.com​​​​​​Kh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.comTIMESTAMPS
