Episode Synopsis
If you enjoy our podcast, please leave a quick rating. It only takes a minute and it means the world to us. DIY Recording enthusiasts typically don't have a ton of time on their hands. We're busy! And studio time is precious. Often we only get an hour or two a day (or maybe even a week) to spend working on music in the studio and any time we spend in the studio NOT working on music can be incredibly frustrating. Maybe you planned to finally wrap up some vocals on that one song only to find that bugs and glitches have rendered your evening a waste! We all know this feeling and it SUCKS. The good news is that troubleshooting, like most things in the studio, is a skill. And, like most skills, having good fundamentals and techniques will help you perfect it faster. On this episode, we talk about various troubleshooting techniques and share some of our favorite tried and true go-to debugging methods.
