Producing Your Recording PRODUCTION

"Each recording is unique, and requires careful planning to guarantee the best sound quality and the most appropriate use of time and finances for your project. Here are some guidelines to help with your planning..."

 

The Role of the Producer.....

At all sessions there is one person who has the final responsibility for the music and the production. It is the producer's job to oversee the recording project as a whole, including the creative direction and the business aspects.

The right producer will greatly enhance the quality of your project because he functions as an objective partner. The producer's job includes ongoing evaluation of the recorded performances with respect to how they fit together to create the best, highest quality end product. With the "big picture" in mind at all times, the producer is able to take the project from the first run-through all the way to the final master.

I spend a good portion of my time producing music. I can help. As I tell people, "Knowing your destination is a pretty big part of you journey".

Preparing for the Son Set Beach Sessions...

 

Know your music completely. The more prepared you are, the better your recording will be. The studio is not a rehearsal hall. Nail your performances. The best sounding recordings are generally the best prepared. Do your rehearsing at home. If you have a home studio of any type, record your entire project on your boom box or 4-track at home. Doing this will reveal unforeseen problems and will provide a good reference for the engineer to hear your direction when you get to the Son Set Beach Session.

Remember,

Recording should be fun. Relax and enjoy your Son Set Beach recording experience. Take some pictures. Take a break often, and go for a walk around our local neighborhood to clear your ears.
