Episode show notes:

This is an episode about the importance of choosing the right tempo for your songs and getting the timing and feel right.
Here's why this matters:

Way too many artists neglect this during their songwriting and preproduction process. But this affects the overall feel and impact of the song more than any plugin or mixing technique ever could.
And we're not just talking about the importance of choosing the right tempo. We're also showing you what we mean with timing and feel.

You'll be hearing different audio examples on the episode:

Pulling vs pushing
To grid or not to grid
Adding a bit of a swing feel

We're also gonna talk about the difference between genres and styles, how to create tempo maps and a couple of interesting tips and tricks that we've learned over the years.

Enjoy!
