The Loneliness of Being a Freelance Music Producer

There's a version of loneliness that freelance music producers rarely talk about — not because it doesn't exist, but because it's hard to admit when you chose this path on purpose. Your friends are dealing with bad bosses. You're calculating whether this month covers rent. The conversations stop landing, and slowly you stop having them altogether. This episode is about the hollowness that creeps into a solo production career — what's really behind it, and what actually helps. Music In Progress is a long-form series for freelance music producers and musicians navigating the craft and the career. 📩 [email protected] -------------------- Gear I use (With affiliate links) : System : Macbook Pro - https://amzn.to/49aS47J Audio Interface : Audient iD14 (MKII) - https://amzn.to/3YdM2hD Microphone : Akg C414 Xlii - https://amzn.to/48SMdVI Headphones : VSX Modeling Headphones Platinum Edition - https://amzn.to/4axyB3w Waves Clarity De-Reverb Plugin : https://www.waves.com/plugins/clarity...
