#315: Be an Artist All the Time with Ben Burnes
Music Production Podcast
Ben Burns on the Music Production Podcast
Ben Burns is the man who holds the world record of most music production podcast appearances. He's also the first guest that was ever on the show. "It's been a wild ride," he says about his five-year journey to reach 300 episodes.
Ben Burnes is a musician, producer, and game developer. Every week for years, and nearly 400 times, Ben has live streamed his production of a new song in two hours. He is a prolific creator and also has a large collection of sample packs to help fellow producers create their music.
This is my fourth conversation with Ben on the podcast! We covered a wide range of topics, including how to finish songs, creating a discipline around music production, and how to find a artistic balance that is right for you.
Be part of Ben's next Two Hour Album Challenge, April 12-16, 2023! Go to Two Hour Album Challenge for more information.
