Host Evan is back in the lab at Patchwerk Recording Studios, breaking down the latest submissions and putting producers to the test. In this high-energy session, we dive deep into the technical side of the craft—from sample selection and 90s R&B grooves to the debate over live horns vs. plugins.
In this episode: Songwriting vs. Production: Evan explains why a great song is the heart of a great record.
