LUCY Academy
Foundations: write and finish a song · Lesson 6 of 7
Calling it finished, and what you hand over
18 minFoundationalFree
Unfinished songs outnumber released ones by a wide margin, usually because nobody defined what finished means. This lesson gives you a test you can apply, and gets your files and paperwork into the state the rest of the Academy assumes you're already in.
What you’ll be able to do
- Decide a track is done on evidence rather than exhaustion
- Hand off files a mix engineer can actually work with
- Have credits and splits settled before release, not after
- Know exactly which lesson to go to next

- 1Watch first: how to tell a mix is done
