In this episode, we’re tackling the 20 biggest mistakes new engineers make — from setting levels too hot to “fixing it in the mix.” Whether you’re recording your first band, producing from home, or working in a full studio, these are the habits that can make or break your sound.

I’ve seen it all — from forgotten tuners to over-compressed vocals, bad mic choices, and mystery hums that could haunt a session. This one’s packed with real advice from years behind the console.

Hit play, take notes, and remember — it’s not about being perfect, it’s about knowing better every time you hit record.
