52 Cues – A Production Music Podcast
The best way to add realism on any track is by adding some kind of recorded instrument, but what if you don’t really know how to play a lot of instruments or you have a tight budget? On this episode, I show you a handful of instruments that are relatively simple to play, easy to record, and won’t break the bank.
Plus in my Year of Taxi update, we’re going to check in on any returns or forwards and take a listen to this week’s submission which is a sentimental piano solo cue, and then I give my thoughts a braaams heavy tension cue written by 52 Cues Community Member, Alex B (https://alexbmusic.com).
