018 Eyal Levi (Producer, Nail the Mix)

Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Blink-182, Don Broco) is here to bring his expertise on acquiring “bigger” clients, the importance of structure in your schedule, and headphone mixing.

For a guy that openly talks about initially not wanting to be a producer, Dan has certainly become one of the best there is. How he got from one to the other is a master class on how to combine a willingness to learn through repeated experimentation, a solid strategy for maintaining flow, and figuring out how to connect with artists. 

“No matter how small, or uninspiring, or if sometimes some songs you’re working on aren’t very good - no matter what you’re working on - always try to please yourself as much as you possibly can to the very last detail. Walk away feeling that it sounds amazing.” - Dan Lancaster

2:30 Dan’s transition from musician in a band to producer, learning how to record and mix drums in the mid-2000’s
18:00 Structure, balance, and taking breaks to maintain that level of quality; transition to being known for mixing ability
