How should I go on as a “bedroom” producer/mix engineer?
Hey guys, so I know my question is very vague so I’m trying to specify what I mean.
I’m trying to get more producing/mixing jobs, got no studio or even home studio, because lack of money and space.
I work basically in my bedroom right now with some minor acoustic treatment. Because of that I mostly work on headphones.
I have a low-medium income day job right now. So I don’t relay on the audio thing.
But I am trying to do more work in audio. Mostly metal mixing/producing.
Also I have a couple of live jobs from time to time, but mostly small venues, some music school live events, and stuff like that, nothing major.
But I would love to do more, more “studio” work, but I have the feeling most people in that particular genre of music do either everything on their own or go to bigger, well established studios. I’ve basically so far only have a couple records for another bands and they were happy with my work and also recommended my work.
Also when I do live stuff the bands all were happy with my work.
But I seem to get no studio jobs and/or very few live jobs.
I’ve also got a Website where I have all my credits on there and also work to listen to that I’ve done already.
I’ve also tried doing more social media content to get myself out there, but right now I don’t feel that comfortable basically sharing my bedroom with the internet.
Is the problem the space I work in?
Is it my portfolio?
Is it my social media presence or lack there of?
Is it my website?
Do you guys have any advice on how I should go on?
