Is One Cue Per Week Really Enough?
I’ve said before that you need 100’s of cues to make a living in the production music industry, but is one cue per week really enough? Today I’m going to unpack and illustrate how productivity and output might not be the linear journey we think it is.
We’ll take a listen to “Waltz of Shame,” the latest submission in my Year of Taxi and check in on any forwards or returns.
We’ll also listen to a funky heist cue cue written by 52 Cues Community Member, Dex Williams.
