My album "Self(ish) Aware" is now officially released!

Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/m/B7eeuv6k3ugjvn4tzasp2dzmgsm?t=Selfish_Aware_-_Pete_Johns

In this video, I reflect upon the process and provide the five biggest lessons I learned during the recording, mixing and mastering process.

My five tips in no particular order are:
 1. Time management
 2. Gear Acquisition syndrome
 3. Lower is better
 4. Keep it simple
 5. Sing/play/create like nobody is watching

Welcome to my "Releasing an Album" video series, where I will be taking the songs I have recorded, many documented right here on the channel, and completing a final mix and master process before releasing my new album on August 1st, 2018.

Along the way, I will be showing you some of the processes I go through to review the tracks, adjust the mixes where necessary, complete the mastering process, design album artwork, release the album and finally promote and share the end product.
