In this episode of LIFE IN SOUND, I sit down with Los Angeles-based sample maker, engineer, and producer, The 44th Floor. We discuss beating writer's block by treating the studio like going to the gym, taking risks in studio sessions by showing artists your samples and beats, and not limiting yourself or your creativity.
