This project aims to address studio struggles and build confidence in music production through a 3-track EP, live performances, and video editing. It involves research on artists who have recorded outside the studio, microphone selection, and reflections on using Premiere Pro. Practical problem-solving focuses on stress and guitar skills, while theoretical problem-solving addresses confidence and time considerations.
