I’m on both sides of that street.
As a songwriter and audio engineer I love good work done by technically excellent musicians and producers in the studio. I try to do the same in my own recording work.
But there is nothing to beat the energy of live music played in the moment by a great band. I would never claim to be a charismatic frontman… but I will say I’m a damn good driving bass player, especially if I have a compatible drummer to work with…
