Ep. 114 - [Christian Caicedo on Sound Selection and Engineering]
Christian Caicedo is an audio engineer at Envious Audio and host of the podcast Electronic Dance Money. He talked to us about inheriting a love of dance music from his parents, dealing with impostor syndrome based off unrealistic expectations, how the Producer Dojo helped him become a better engineer, starting his mixing and mastering business, the importance of the business side of the music industry, why you’re focused on the wrong music stats, why support from other artists and shows is the most important stat, how crucial mentorship is, finding the point of diminishing returns on songwriting, the importance of having organization and systems, and how sound selection is the most important part of engineering your song.
