Hiring amazing session musicians can take your productions to the next level or even save sessions that would otherwise lead to very poor results. 

Also, as a self-recording musician you're in a perfect spot to offer playing on other people's records! If you're a great player AND a skilled recording engineer, maybe a session musician career might be a path you'd want to explore.

Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:

• How to find PRO session musicians
• Best practices for sending them tracks
• Hiring someone to replace a band member (ouch!)
• The importance of having a clear vision 
• In person vs remote
• What to expect from session musicians
• Work for hire vs a feature
• Giving credit
• Communicating terms, expectations and boundaries in advance
