The Four "C's" of Success | 52 Cues Podcast, 2025 Week 17

Feeling stuck in the creative process? In this episode of the 52 Cues Podcast, host Dave Kropf introduces the Four C’s of Success—Collect, Collaborate, Create, and Correct—a practical framework designed to help composers identify where they are in their workflow and move forward with clarity. Whether you're staring at a blank DAW session or obsessively mixing a cue that isn’t even done, these four phases can bring structure and momentum to the creative journey. Dave also shares a new cue inspired by rediscovered Kontakt instruments and offers feedback on a psychedelic rock track submitted by community member Frasier McDermott. For any production music composer feeling lost in “loop land,” this episode might just be the missing roadmap.
