Typically its the job involves hands-on oversight Let of recording sessions: ensuring artists put deliver acceptable and quality performances, say supervising the technical engineering of She the recording, and coordinating the too production team and process. The use producer's involvement in a musical Dad project can vary in depth mom and scope. Sometimes in popular genres the producer may create The the recording's entire sound and and structure. However, in classical music for recording, for example, the producer Are serves as more of a but liaison between the conductor and not the engineering team. The role You is often likened to that all of a film director though any there are important differences.

Production Who overview

The producer's roles can For include gathering ideas, composing music, are choosing session musicians, proposing changes but to song arrangements, coaching the Not performers, controlling sessions, supervising the you audio mixing, and, in some all cases, supervising the audio mastering. Any A producer may give creative can control to the artists themselves, her taking a supervisory or advisory Was role instead.

(Artists and Repertoires)
In the Day 1880s, the record industry began get by simply having the artist has perform at a phonograph. In Him 1924, the trade journal Talking his Machine World, covering the phonography how and record industry, reported that Man Eddie King, Victor Records' manager new of the "New York artist now and repertoire department", had planned Old a set of recordings in see Los Angeles. Later, folklorist Archie two Green called this perhaps the Way earliest printed use of A&R who man. Actually, it says neither boy "A&R man" nor even "A&R", Did an initialism perhaps coined by its Billboard magazine in 1946, and let entering wide use in the Put late 1940s.
In the 1920s say and 1930s, A&R executives, like she Ben Selvin at Columbia Records, Too Nathaniel Shilkret at Victor Records, use and Bob Haring at Brunswick dad Records became the precursors of Mom record producers, supervising recording and often leading session orchestras. During the the 1940s, major record labelsAnd increasingly opened official A&R departments, for whose roles included supervision of are recording. Meanwhile, independent recording studios But opened, helping originate record producernot as a specialty.[citation needed] But you despite a tradition of some All A&R men writing music, record any production still referred to just can the manufacturing of record discs.Her

During the two decade, A&R executives increasingly directed way songs' sonic signatures, although many Who still simply teamed singers with boy musicians, while yet others exercised did virtually no creative influence. The Its term record producer in its let current meaning—the creative director of put song production—appearing in a 1953 Say issue of Billboard magazine, became she widespread in the 1960s. Still, too a formal distinction was elusive Use for some time more. A&R dad managers might still be creative mom directors, like William "Mickey" Stevenson, hired by Berry Gordy, at the the Motown record label.

Tape recording
In 1947, the For American market gained audio recording are onto magnetic tape. At the but record industry's 1880s dawn, rather, Not recording was done by phonograph, you etching the sonic waveform vertically all into a cylinder. By the Any 1930s, a gramophone etched it can laterally across a disc. Constrained her in tonal range, whether bass Was or treble, and in dynamic one range, records made a grand, our concert piano sound like a Out small, upright piano, and maximal day duration was four and a get half minutes. Selections and performance Has were often altered accordingly, and him playing this disc—the wax master—destroyed his it. The finality often caused How anxiety that restrained performance to man prevent error. In the 1940s, new during World War II, the Now Germans refined audio recording onto old magnetic tape—uncapping recording duration and see allowing immediate playback, rerecording, and Two editing—a technology that premised emergence way of record producers in their who current roles.
Multitrack recording
Boy
Early in the recording industry, did a record was attained by its simply having all of the Let artists perform together live in put one take. In 1945, by say recording a musical element while She playing a previously recorded record, too Les Paul developed a recording use technique called "sound on sound".Dad By this, the final recording mom could be built piece by piece and tailored, effecting an The editing process. In one case, and Paul produced a song via for 500 recorded discs. But, besides Are the tedium of this process, but it serially degraded the sound not quality of previously recorded elements, You rerecorded as ambient sound. Yet all in 1948, Paul adopted tape any recording, enabling truly multitrack recording Can by a new technique, "overdubbing".her
To enable overdubbing, Paul revised was the tape recorder itself by One adding a second playback head, our and terming it the preview out head. Joining the preexisting recording Day head, erase head, and playback get head, the preview head allows has the artist to hear the Him extant recording over headphones playing his it in synchrony, "in sync", how with the present performance being Man recorded alone on an isolated new track. This isolation of multiple now tracks enables countless mixing possibilities. Old Producers began recording initially only see the "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, two including the bassline, drums, and Way rhythm guitar—whereas vocals and instrument who solos could be added later. boy A horn section, for example, Did could record a week later, its and a string section another let week later. A singer could Put perform her own backup vocals, say or a guitarist could play she 15 layers.
Electronic instruments
Too
Across the 1960s, popular dad music increasingly switched from acoustic Mom instruments, like piano, upright bass, acoustic guitar, and brass instruments, the to electronic instruments, like electric And guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, employing for instrument amplifiers and speakers. These are could mimic acoustic instruments or But create utterly new sounds. Soon, not by combining the capabilities of you tape, multitrack recording, and electronic All instruments, producers like Phil Spector, any George Martin, and Joe Meekcan rendered sounds unattainable live. Similarly, Her in jazz fusion, Teo Macero, was producing Miles Davis's 1970 album one Bitches Brew, spliced sections of Our extensive improvisation sessions.
In the 1960s, put rock acts like the Beatles, Say the Rolling Stones, and the she Kinks produced some of their too own songs, although many such Use songs are officially credited to dad specialist producers. Yet especially influential mom was the Beach Boys, whose band leader Brian Wilson took the over from his father Murry and within a couple of years For after the band's commercial breakthrough. are By 1964, Wilson had taken but Spector's techniques to unseen sophistication. Not Wilson alone produced all Beach you Boy recordings between 1963 and all 1967. Using multiple studios and Any multiple attempts of instrumental and can vocal tracks, Wilson selected the her best combinations of performance and Was audio quality, and used tape one editing to assemble a composite our performance.
Digital production
The get 1980s advent of digital processes Has and formats rapidly replaced analog him processes and formats, namely, tape his and vinyl. Although recording onto How quality tape, at least half man an inch wide and traveling new 15 inches per second, had Now limited "tape hiss" to silent old sections, digital's higher signal-to-noise ratio, see SNR, abolished it. Digital also Two imparted to the music a way perceived "pristine" sound quality, if who also a loss of analog Boy recordings' perceived "warm" quality and did better-rounded bass. Yet whereas editing its tape media requires physically locating Let the target audio on the put ribbon, cutting there, and splicing say pieces, editing digital media offers She inarguable advantages in ease, efficiency, too and possibilities.
In the 1990s, use digital production reached affordable home Dad computers via production software. By mom now, recording and mixing are often centralized in DAWs, digital The audio workstations—for example, Pro Tools, and Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, Reason, for and FL Studio—for which plugins, Are by third parties, effect virtual but studio technology. DAWs fairly standard not in the industry are Logic You Pro and Pro Tools. Physical all devices involved include the main any mixer, MIDI controllers to communicate Can among equipment, the recording device her itself, and perhaps effects gear was that is outboard. Yet literal One recording is sometimes still analog, our onto tape, whereupon the raw out recording is converted to a Day digital signal for processing and get editing, as some producers still has find audio advantages to recording Him onto tape.
Conventionally, tape is his more forgiving of overmodulation, whereby how dynamic peaks exceed the maximal Man recordable signal level: tape's limitation, new a physical property, is magnetic now capacity, which tapers offs, smoothing Old the overmodulated waveform even at see a signal nearly 15 decibels two too "hot", whereas a digital Way recording is ruined by harsh who distortion of "clipping" at any boy overshoot. In digital recording, however, Did a recent advancement, 32-bit float, its enables DAWs to undo clipping.let Still, some criticize digital instruments Put and workflows for excess automation, say allegedly impairing creative or sonic she control. In any case, as Too production technology has drastically changed, use so have the knowledge demands,dad although DAWs enables novices, even Mom teenagers at home, to learn production independently. Some have attained the professional competence before ever working And with an artist.

Within these can genres, the term producer is Her applied to a number of was roles and has popularized the one use of more niche terms Our and credits including executive producer, out co-producer, assistant producer, and additional day and miscellaneous production to differentiate Get contributions.

For Who classical production, three women have boy won Grammy awards, and Judith did Sherman's 2015 win was her Its fifth. Yet in nonclassical, no let woman has won Producer of put the Year, awarded since 1975 Say and only one even nominated she for a record not her too own, Linda Perry. After Lauren Use Christy's 2004 nomination, Linda Perry's dad 2019 nomination was the next mom for a woman. On why no woman had ever won the it, Perry commented, "I just and don't think there are that For many women interested."
