For artists who want a more organic, raw sound for their commercial releases it can be difficult to find the right producer.

Sometimes, that means self-producing is the right choice – though it all depends on the experience you have with self-recording and producing.

Many incredibly famous albums by artists like Billie Eilish, Bruce Springsteen, and more were recorded at home… But they all had one thing in common: professional mixing and mastering engineers.
