Join hosts Dee Kei and Lu on this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast as they dive into the timeless mantra: "Preparation Meets Opportunity." Kicking off with hilarious travel stories—from grueling flights to Russia with layovers in Turkey to epic childhood road trips—they quickly pivot to real-talk advice for music producers, engineers, and artists.
Drawing from personal anecdotes (without naming names), they break down common pitfalls in recording sessions, like unprepared templates, poor communication, and failing to control a chaotic room. Learn practical tips for smooth workflows: practice your DAW templates, prioritize artist needs, and think "for the art" to capture those lightning-in-a-bottle moments.
The conversation expands to mixing and mastering—handling client notes without ego, organizing projects with tools like Trello, and daily communication to avoid "falling through the cracks." For live sound pros, they cover feedback prevention, rider communication, and making quick decisions with no room for revisions.
Things get philosophical toward the end, exploring branding, professionalism, humility, and clearing your conscience to build trust and reliability in the industry. Whether you're battling self-doubt, seeking validation, or just wanting to stand out, Dee Kei and Lu emphasize dignity, honor, and purposeful action to turn preparation into lasting success.
Perfect for aspiring mixers, producers, and live engineers—tune in for actionable insights, laughs, and motivation to level up your music career. Subscribe for more episodes on music production tips and industry stories.
