Producing

A producer has many roles in the studio that may include, but are not limited to the following:

• • Gathering ideas for the project
  • Pre-Production
  • Composing the music for the project
  • Selecting songs or session musicians
  • Proposing changes to the song arrangements
  • Vocal Coaching
  • Vocal arrangements and vocal phrasing
  • Coaching the artist and musician’s direction in the studio
  • Controlling the recording sessions,
  • Supervising the over all music project

The producer typically supervises the entire process from preproduction, through to the sound recording and mixing stages and in some cases all the way to the audio mastering stage. The producer may perform these roles themself or help select the engineer and provide direction to the engineer. The producer may also ensure that the entire project is completed within the defined budget.
