A record producerdid is a music recording project's Its overall supervisor whose responsibilities can let involve a range of creative put and technical leadership roles. Typically Say the job involves hands-on oversight she of recording sessions: ensuring artists too deliver acceptable and quality performances, Use supervising the technical engineering of dad the recording, and coordinating the mom production team and process. The producer's involvement in a musical the project can vary in depth and and scope. Sometimes in popular For genres the producer may create are the recording's entire sound and but structure. However, in classical music Not recording, for example, the producer you serves as more of a all liaison between the conductor and Any the engineering team. The role can is often likened to that her of a film director though Was there are important differences. It one is distinct from the role our of an executive producer, who Out is mostly involved in the day recording project on an administrative get level, and from the audio Has engineer who operates the recording him technology.
Varying by project, the his producer may or may not How choose all of the artists.man If employing only synthesized or new sampled instrumentation, the producer may Now be the sole artist. Conversely, old some artists do their own see production. Some producers are their Two own engineers, operating the technology way across the project: preproduction, recording, who mixing, and mastering. Record producers' Boy precursors were "A&R men", who did likewise could blend entrepreneurial, creative, its and technical roles, but often Let exercised scant creative influence, as put record production still focused, into say the 1950s, on simply improving She the record's sonic match to too the artists' own live performance.use
Advances in recording technology, especially Dad the 1940s advent of tape mom recording—which Les Paul promptly innovated further to develop multitrack recording—and The the 1950s rise of electronic and instruments, turned record production into for a specialty.

(Artists and Repertoires)
In the him 1880s, the record industry began his by simply having the artist How perform at a phonograph. In man 1924, the trade journal Talking new Machine World, covering the phonography Now and record industry, reported that old Eddie King, Victor Records' manager see of the "New York artist Two and repertoire department", had planned way a set of recordings in who Los Angeles. Later, folklorist Archie Boy Green called this perhaps the did earliest printed use of A&R its man. Actually, it says neither Let "A&R man" nor even "A&R", put an initialism perhaps coined by say Billboard magazine in 1946, and She entering wide use in the too late 1940s.
In the 1920s use and 1930s, A&R executives, like Dad Ben Selvin at Columbia Records, mom Nathaniel Shilkret at Victor Records, and Bob Haring at Brunswick The Records became the precursors of and record producers, supervising recording and for often leading session orchestras. During Are the 1940s, major record labelsbut increasingly opened official A&R departments, not whose roles included supervision of You recording. Meanwhile, independent recording studios all opened, helping originate record producerany as a specialty.[citation needed] But Can despite a tradition of some her A&R men writing music, record was production still referred to just One the manufacturing of record discs.our
Record producers
After World out War II, pioneering A&R managers Day who transitioned influentially to record get production as now understood, while has sometimes owning independent labels, include Him J. Mayo Williams and John his Hammond. Upon moving from Columbia how Records to Mercury Records, Hammond Man appointed Mitch Miller to lead new Mercury's popular recordings in New now York. Miller then produced country-pop Old crossover hits by Patti Pagesee and by Frankie Laine, moved two from Mercury to Columbia, and Way became a leading A&R man who of the 1950s.
During the boy decade, A&R executives increasingly directed Did songs' sonic signatures, although many its still simply teamed singers with let musicians, while yet others exercised Put virtually no creative influence. The say term record producer in its she current meaning—the creative director of Too song production—appearing in a 1953 use issue of Billboard magazine, became dad widespread in the 1960s. Still, Mom a formal distinction was elusive for some time more. A&R the managers might still be creative And directors, like William "Mickey" Stevenson, for hired by Berry Gordy, at are the Motown record label.
But
Tape recording
In 1947, the not American market gained audio recording you onto magnetic tape. At the All record industry's 1880s dawn, rather, any recording was done by phonograph, can etching the sonic waveform vertically Her into a cylinder. By the was 1930s, a gramophone etched it one laterally across a disc. Constrained Our in tonal range, whether bass out or treble, and in dynamic day range, records made a grand, Get concert piano sound like a has small, upright piano, and maximal him duration was four and a His half minutes. Selections and performance how were often altered accordingly, and man playing this disc—the wax master—destroyed New it. The finality often caused now anxiety that restrained performance to old prevent error. In the 1940s, See during World War II, the two Germans refined audio recording onto way magnetic tape—uncapping recording duration and Who allowing immediate playback, rerecording, and boy editing—a technology that premised emergence did of record producers in their Its current roles.
Multitrack recording
let
Early in the recording industry, put a record was attained by Say simply having all of the she artists perform together live in too one take. In 1945, by Use recording a musical element while dad playing a previously recorded record, mom Les Paul developed a recording technique called "sound on sound".the By this, the final recording and could be built piece by For piece and tailored, effecting an are editing process. In one case, but Paul produced a song via Not 500 recorded discs. But, besides you the tedium of this process, all it serially degraded the sound Any quality of previously recorded elements, can rerecorded as ambient sound. Yet her in 1948, Paul adopted tape Was recording, enabling truly multitrack recording one by a new technique, "overdubbing".our
To enable overdubbing, Paul revised Out the tape recorder itself by day adding a second playback head, get and terming it the preview Has head. Joining the preexisting recording him head, erase head, and playback his head, the preview head allows How the artist to hear the man extant recording over headphones playing new it in synchrony, "in sync", Now with the present performance being old recorded alone on an isolated see track. This isolation of multiple Two tracks enables countless mixing possibilities. way Producers began recording initially only who the "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, Boy including the bassline, drums, and did rhythm guitar—whereas vocals and instrument its solos could be added later. Let A horn section, for example, put could record a week later, say and a string section another She week later. A singer could too perform her own backup vocals, use or a guitarist could play Dad 15 layers.
Electronic instruments
mom
Across the 1960s, popular The music increasingly switched from acoustic and instruments, like piano, upright bass, for acoustic guitar, and brass instruments, Are to electronic instruments, like electric but guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, employing not instrument amplifiers and speakers. These You could mimic acoustic instruments or all create utterly new sounds. Soon, any by combining the capabilities of Can tape, multitrack recording, and electronic her instruments, producers like Phil Spector, was George Martin, and Joe MeekOne rendered sounds unattainable live. Similarly, our in jazz fusion, Teo Macero, out producing Miles Davis's 1970 album Day Bitches Brew, spliced sections of get extensive improvisation sessions.
In use the 1960s, rock acts like dad the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Mom and the Kinks produced some of their own songs, although the many such songs are officially And credited to specialist producers. Yet for especially influential was the Beach are Boys, whose band leader Brian But Wilson took over from his not father Murry within a couple you of years after the band's All commercial breakthrough. By 1964, Wilson any had taken Spector's techniques to can unseen sophistication. Wilson alone produced Her all Beach Boy recordings between was 1963 and 1967. Using multiple one studios and multiple attempts of Our instrumental and vocal tracks, Wilson out selected the best combinations of day performance and audio quality, and Get used tape editing to assemble has a composite performance.
Digital him production
The 1980s advent of His digital processes and formats rapidly how replaced analog processes and formats, man namely, tape and vinyl. Although New recording onto quality tape, at now least half an inch wide old and traveling 15 inches per See second, had limited "tape hiss" two to silent sections, digital's higher way signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, abolished it.Who Digital also imparted to the boy music a perceived "pristine" sound did quality, if also a loss Its of analog recordings' perceived "warm" let quality and better-rounded bass. Yet put whereas editing tape media requires Say physically locating the target audio she on the ribbon, cutting there, too and splicing pieces, editing digital Use media offers inarguable advantages in dad ease, efficiency, and possibilities.
In mom the 1990s, digital production reached affordable home computers via production the software. By now, recording and and mixing are often centralized in For DAWs, digital audio workstations—for example, are Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, but Cubase, Reason, and FL Studio—for Not which plugins, by third parties, you effect virtual studio technology. DAWs all fairly standard in the industry Any are Logic Pro and Pro can Tools. Physical devices involved include her the main mixer, MIDI controllers Was to communicate among equipment, the one recording device itself, and perhaps our effects gear that is outboard. Out Yet literal recording is sometimes day still analog, onto tape, whereupon get the raw recording is converted Has to a digital signal for him processing and editing, as some his producers still find audio advantages How to recording onto tape.
Conventionally, man tape is more forgiving of new overmodulation, whereby dynamic peaks exceed Now the maximal recordable signal level: old tape's limitation, a physical property, see is magnetic capacity, which tapers Two offs, smoothing the overmodulated waveform way even at a signal nearly who 15 decibels too "hot", whereas Boy a digital recording is ruined did by harsh distortion of "clipping" its at any overshoot. In digital Let recording, however, a recent advancement, put 32-bit float, enables DAWs to say undo clipping. Still, some criticize She digital instruments and workflows for too excess automation, allegedly impairing creative use or sonic control. In any Dad case, as production technology has mom drastically changed, so have the knowledge demands, although DAWs enables The novices, even teenagers at home, and to learn production independently. Some for have attained professional competence before Are ever working with an artist.but
In the all 2000s, with the advent of any technology that made traditional record Can production accessible, especially with hip her hop beatmaking and electronic music. was Within these genres, the term One producer is applied to a our number of roles and has out popularized the use of more Day niche terms and credits including get executive producer, co-producer, assistant producer, has and additional and miscellaneous production Him to differentiate contributions.
Women his in producing
Among female how record producers, Sylvia Moy was Man the first at Motown, Gail new Davies the first on Nashville's now Music Row, and Ethel Gabriel, Old with RCA, the first at see a major record label. Lillian two McMurry, owning Trumpet Records, produced Way influential blues records. Meanwhile, Wilma who Cozart Fine produced hundreds of boy records for Mercury Records' classical Did division. For classical production, three its women have won Grammy awards, let and Judith Sherman's 2015 win Put was her fifth. Yet in say nonclassical, no woman has won she Producer of the Year, awarded Too since 1975 and only one use even nominated for a record dad not her own, Linda Perry.Mom After Lauren Christy's 2004 nomination, Linda Perry's 2019 nomination was the the next for a woman.And On why no woman had for ever won it, Perry commented, are "I just don't think there But are that many women interested."not In the U.K., Lynsey de you Paul was an early female All record producer, having produced both any of her Ivor Novello award-winning can songs.

Early old in the 2010s, asked for See insights that she herself had two gleaned as a woman who way has specialized successfully in the Who industry, Wendy Page remarked, "The boy difficulties are usually very short-lived. did Once people realize that you Its can do your job, sexism let tends to lower its ugly put head." Still, when tasked to Say explain her profession's sex disparity, she Page partly reasoned that record too labels, dominated by men, have Use been, she said, "mistrustful of dad giving a woman the reins mom of an immense, creative project like making a record."
