Alright! So, as the title of this video explains, this video is about remote recording work — how to get started, what to consider when starting, and some advice on professionalism and gear. I just want to be clear from the onset, this material is simply how I do things, and how I approach this type of work. This video is based on my own experiences of working on remote projects over a number of years.
