• Roundtable: Day One Bounce Survival Guide — Demoitis, Mixbus, & Vocals

  Roundtable: Day One Bounce Survival Guide — Demoitis, Mixbus, & VocalsIn this episode of Producer Points, we're digging into one of the most stressful — and most important — moments in a producer’s workflow: the Day One bounce.That first export gets sent to artists, managers, and labels. It sets the tone, shapes opinions, and might even determine whether the song survives. It might not be the final version, but it feels final to everyone else. And once someone gets attached to a demo… good luck changing it.From dealing with demoitis to deciding whether to send a polished bounce or just a topline over chords, we break it all down with three incredibly insightful producers who’ve lived it.🎧 We cover:What should actually go in a Day One bounce (and what shouldn’t)How vocal comps, mixbus chains, and plugin stacks affect the first impressionTools for getting clean, emotional, and fast bouncesThe fine line between “rough” and “rushed”When the Day One should be the finalThis one is packed with real-world advice, workflow tricks, and brutally honest takes on the invisible pressure every producer faces.—👥 Guests:Kayla Diamond – @thekayladiamondAndrew J.
