FAQ

  • What is DIY Music Guide?

    This website aims to provide high-quality, human created and human curated information surrounding all areas of independent music-making.

    We talk about a wide variety of musical topics here: music production, home recording techniques, instruments, songwriting & composition, music theory, music business, and more!

  • Who's on staff?

    We’re founded and run primarily by Greg Lloyd, a mastering engineer, music educator, and a working, classically trained musician whose performance credits include the London Philharmonic, Phoenix Symphony, and a wide variety of jazz, rock, and session work over a multi-decade performance career.

    For subjects that are outside of Greg’s areas of expertise, we work only with qualified subject matter experts with similar levels of professional experience. Some of our featured collaborators can be found in our Resources page.
