When it comes to creativity and making music sound great, does it help or hinder if you’re an expert? Might be limit your creative process if you always know the right thing to do? Or is it more interesting not always know the ‘correct’ way to do things?
I’m sure it’s a balance between the two. I’ve developed some good knowledge in the fundamentals of recording and producing music. My main skill and strength lie in listening and interpreting musical ideas and I believe that not always knowing the correct method can lead to experimentation and ultimately, something more interesting.
