That is why self-producing requires a much greater degree of self criticism, otherwise the processes and methods become the artists or composers own cliche... take Nickelback for example. |
I know what you're saying here, and on one hand I agree...but on the other I dont always think that just because a producer is telling you what way to do something, is it always for the better...I've heard a lot of self produced stuff that I think is really good...and if you're able to pull it off, congrats, but I'd probably say its more safe to get someone to co-produce it with you, that way you have someone to bounce ideas off
