gear and how-to basics, and timeless fundamentals and techniques around recording, mixing and mastering
* Part III, Promoting
covers what you need to know to establish and grow your fan base, including graphic design, your press kit and website, sharing and selling
your music, playing out and making a video
Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a 360-degree primer to help take your
music to the next level, Indie Rock 101 is the one book that covers it all.
