Great vid 👌

Great information. Finding your own sound is not as easy as it sounds. I think one question to be asked is what’s in demand? Like for example I’m skilled on the piano but I know so many others that are skilled on the piano and have sample packs. How do I produce a unique piano sample pack? I really do think it boils down to the story I’m telling. The story is what sells the products.

Thanks for watching! I think Geoff made an important point… his inspiration came from being a working producer first which creates the need for him to be innovative and come up with unique ideas for clients and projects he’s been hired for.
