#202: I Gamified My Music Production - It Changed Everything

Ever wondered if you're tracking the right metrics in your music production journey? That nagging question—"Am I measuring what truly drives growth or just staying busy?"—led me to create something that transformed my creative process completely. In this episode of Inside the Mix , I introduce the Producer Growth Scorecard —a free, gamified tool designed to help you track what actually moves the needle in your music career. Whether you're trying to release a new track every six weeks or just break through creative ruts, this system helps you focus on the right production habits. Each task—like finishing a loop, mixing a track, or releasing a single—earns points toward a weekly goal. The target? 40 points per week. Simple, measurable, and motivating. We’ll dive into how the scorecard works, how it ties your day-to-day activity to long-term output, and why it’s helping producers worldwide stay consistent and finish more music. If you’ve ever asked, “How do I stay productive as a music producer?” or “What should I track to grow as an indie artist?” —this is the episode for you Links mentioned in this episode : Grab your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Send me a message Support the show Ways to connect with Marc : Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials : Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!
