Here We Go!

Welcome to the JH Mastering Blog

I’m starting this because I want some breathing room.

Social media has honestly been very beneficial for me and has helped me grow my business, but the short form clips encourage me to create marketing content when I’d rather just share what it is that I do and why I love it.

I’ve been thinking recently about how as a musician, everyone wants to reach in your pocket as you make your art, and how difficult it is to get paid for your art at the end. I don’t want to be one of those people with my hand out, or someone who is generating a need by creating anxiety.

We’re making music. Because IT’S FUN. Right?

I used to be a kid who could make music with anything. A school desk, jacket zippers, whatever. I figured out how to whistle with my thumbnail and an airplane AC nozzle.

You don’t Need fancy equipment. You’re not Making a Mistake by not hiring an expensive engineer or not listening in a perfect environment or not using the Top 5 Mixing Techniques You Can’t Live Without. Who wants to stress about DAWs?

We’re making music.

But sometimes you’d like some help.

I’m looking forward to explaining more and marketing less.

Thanks for reading this first post as I try something new.
