Is producing a single the same as producing a full album? Chris & Jody break down the real differences in workflow, mindset, and strategy between the two. From scheduling and pre-production to mixing approaches and client communication, they explore how the project’s scope shapes the way producers and engineers work. Do you treat a single as a self-contained masterpiece? Or do you craft an album as a bigger narrative arc? They’ll also share insight into the conversations you should have with artists and bands up front—discussions that can save time, budget, and sanity in the studio. Expect actionable recording setup tips, perspective from years in the trenches, and of course, a healthy dash of nonsense to keep things fun. Whether you’re running a compact home studio gear setup or managing a full-blown production workflow, this episode helps you navigate the unique demands of singles versus albums.
