David Alexander - Audio Engineer, Producer, Musician - Music Production Podcast 375

David Alexander is an audio engineer, producer, and musician originally from Portland, Oregon and now based in Los Angeles. He has over 20 years of experience working in all genres, with roots in the subcultures of hardcore and punk. David shares his unique blend of technical skills and creative philosophy on social media.
David and I spoke about mental and creative challenges music-makers face, how to get into the creative flow, and why the answer is probably not more gear.

David is pretty great!

[@JuanDiego-e7n]

@@BrianFunkMusic hahaha yes! I'm guilty on buying stuffs thinking it's the key to be creative. Turns out, what I have rn is enough and limiting yourself with the tools you have can push you to the limits!

@@JuanDiego-e7n Very true! Even with an iPhone, you already have more than bands like The Beatles ever had! Incredible time to be making music! But we have to be careful!
