Areas of responsibility. The producer is the person ultimately responsible for the output. You can be a producer and not know a lick about good musicianship or play an instrument, but you have good taste and can use tools (samples, software

Deteriorating climate and mass shootings are the only two subjects the news covers these days. Both very important issues it seems nobody is doing enough to address. Most people are desensitized to it at this point.

Recruiters will go where the people looking for jobs are. There might be a certain value for people still using X for whatever reason. I'm not sure what that demographic is because It's definitly not me.

Comp packages inclusive of benefits, but I also think that there is a point of self respect that just because you're doing something you love you shouldn't get taken for a ride at the end of the day. That's why the entire gam
