About Anatomy of a Song

Are you a songwriter who'd like to take a song idea into the studio to make a recording? Or maybe a poet that would like to turn your poetry into lyrics? "Anatomy of a Song" takes you from demo to disc. Host Greg Smith, an accomplished songwriter with 14 albums of his own recordings, as well as a producer and session musician on over 100 other releases, talks with musicians of all genres about how a spark of inspiration turned into a lyric, and then a song. Greg and his guests break down the process of making a home demo, then refining it. They also discuss the inner workings of a professional studio environment: the role of producers, session players and engineers. Or if you'd like to keep in all "in-house", some of the gear you'll need to create your own home studio in order to produce radio- and streaming-friendly recordings. Even the process of protecting your music through copyright. "Anatomy of a Song": from inspiration to composition to recording to release.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
