Not really looking into the production/engineering part. If I got a masters degree, my tuition would be free.
you need to look into it you need to know from the business side to the engineering and songwriting
you're going to be a indie label with no staff you're going to have to wear all the hats
and being an excutive producer is one of those hats and knowing audio engineering at the basic level is needed
this is not opinion this is fact
you can research and DIY learn all these different roles as a indie record label owners
this will also help keep costs done
if you
come into a recording studio and know exactly what you want to artist to sound like,how you want it recorded,how you want it mixed communicating that to the inhouse audio engineer
you're going to have craft songs/album this is about creditbility
you not just going to be in a office writing checks and making phone calls JMD
running a record label with artists other than yourself is
hard work and takes a lot of knowledge on all aspects from music creation to getting the music submitted to the masses in a effective way
