While it has become easier and easier to be a fully independent musician, the process of creating, recording, releasing and promoting your music (whether as singles or albums) can still be daunting. There is a lot to think about and often a lot to learn. Knowing what to expect from each stage (pre-production, recording & post-production, distribution and promotion) and then taking the whole thing one step at a time is the best way to get the most from what should be a very rewarding process.
