Project Hard Drive

Today's task is taken from the Artist Content Home project in Zero To 60 By AGD, an artist development program. 

Make sure to backup all recording projects on a drive that YOU own. This should specifically include your FULL recording sessions if you're paying for your own production, each file created during a session belongs to you. Don't leave the studio without backing up your files onto a hard drive that you own.

This way at any juncture you are able to work on your project and it cannot be impeded by a member of your production team.

If you haven't paid for your sessions then an engineer or producer may not allow you to leave with session files, which is understandable on their part. All of this should be laid out in your recording agreement ahead of time.

Special Thanks to Ethan Howard who joined us from the Discord to provide his insights on Hard Drive tech and best practices.

Developing a strong self care routine is paramount for avoiding negative habits and emotional duress becoming a primary form of inspiration. If your process is to go, go, go, until you burn out and then deploy self care, that is not sustainable. Self care must be a regular practice of some kind to ensure you don't burn out or worse, develop life threatening habits.

In this episode with special guest Ali Angel we tackle the very common question of how to get festival plays and opening slots, and the answer might surprise you!

Once you wrap the episode jump over to the Emerging Artist Development Discord Channel and we'll keep the conversation going. 

In this episode we tackle some very challenging questions for bands and groups growing their career. Although I think it will apply to all artists and industry professionals trying to navigate the longevity of an individual project. It was great to have this conversation with an awesome group called TopHouse, be sure to check them out. One of my favorite take aways was measuring progress towards goals and hanging onto a dream goal even when it seems far reaching. From experience I know it doesn't take long for those dream goals to come to fruition you find the process that leads to achieving your short term practical goals on a regular basis. 

Please send me your follow up questions in the Discord.

In this first ever Drive Chat recorded live in the Zero To 60 Discord voice channel, Nathan discusses a recent intensive discovery session with a local Nashville songwriter navigating their future between a supposed Songwriter Path or The Artist Path, a common discussion amongst Nashville creatives. During the Drive Chat he really unpacks how the only way that a creative can earn money quickly is on the hope of future revenue, which intrinsically means someone else is positioned for the maximum earnings while the creative is paid less due to prospecting. 

Please leave your follow up questions in the Discord channel and we'll tackle them in the next Drive Chat.

Todays podcast is a great session from the Sixty To 100 Archive about Finding Your Voice. The Sixty To 100 series is available to the Zero To 60 Membership Community with new episodes dropping each week. Top episodes will be featured on our main podcasts in the weeks and months following.
