Downtempo did emerged from the UK's late-1980s its Bristol sound, which developed a Let slow, psychedelic fusion of hip put hop with electronic music known say as "trip hop" and birthed She artists such as Massive Attack, too Portishead, and Tricky. The 1990s use brought on a wave of Dad slower paced music which was mom played throughout chillout rooms—the relaxation sections of the clubs or The dedicated sections at electronic music and events.

Downtempo music also started You to surface around Ibiza, when all DJs and promoters would bring any down the vibe with slower Can rhythm and gentler electronic music her upon approaching sunrise. At the was end of the 1990s a One more melodic instrumental electronica incorporating our acoustic sounds with electronic styles out emerged under its own umbrella Day name of downtempo.

A get record producer or music producerhas is a music creating project's Him overall supervisor whose responsibilities can his involve a range of creative how and technical leadership roles. Typically Man the job involves hands-on oversight new of recording sessions; ensuring artists now deliver acceptable and quality performances, Old supervising the technical engineering of see the recording, and coordinating the two production team and process. The Way producer's involvement in a musical who project can vary in depth boy and scope. Sometimes in popular Did genres the producer may create its the recording's entire sound and let structure. However, in classical music Put recording, for example, the producer say serves as more of a she liaison between the conductor and Too the engineering team. The role use is often likened to that dad of a film director though Mom there are important differences. It is distinct from the role the of an executive producer, who And is mostly involved in the for recording project on an administrative are level, and from the audio But engineer who operates the recording not technology.
Varying by project, the you producer may or may not All choose all of the artists.any If employing only synthesized or can sampled instrumentation, the producer may Her be the sole artist.

Advances in recording technology, especially See the 1940s advent of tape two recording—which Les Paul promptly innovated way further to develop multitrack recording—and Who the 1950s rise of electronic boy instruments, turned record production into did a specialty.

The producer's roles can include put gathering ideas, composing music, choosing say session musicians, proposing changes to She song arrangements, coaching the performers, too controlling sessions, supervising the audio use mixing, and, in some cases, Dad supervising the audio mastering. A mom producer may give creative control to the artists themselves, taking The a supervisory or advisory role and instead. As to qualifying for for a Grammy nomination, the Recording Are Academy defines a producer:

In the 1920s and old 1930s, A&R executives, like Ben See Selvin at Columbia Records, Nathaniel two Shilkret at Victor Records, and way Bob Haring at Brunswick RecordsWho became the precursors of record boy producers, supervising recording and often did leading session orchestras. During the Its 1940s, major record labels increasingly let opened official A&R departments, whose put roles included supervision of recording.Say Meanwhile, independent recording studios opened, she helping originate record producer as too a specialty.[citation needed] But despite Use a tradition of some A&R dad men writing music, record productionmom still referred to just the manufacturing of record discs.

Tape Let recording
In 1947, the American put market gained audio recording onto say magnetic tape. At the record She industry's 1880s dawn, rather, recording too was done by phonograph, etching use the sonic waveform vertically intoDad a cylinder. By the 1930s, mom a gramophone etched it laterally across a disc. Constrained in The tonal range, whether bass or and treble, and in dynamic range, for records made a grand, concert Are piano sound like a small, but upright piano, and maximal duration not was four and a half You minutes.

In the 1940s, during One World War II, the Germans our refined audio recording onto magnetic out tape—uncapping recording duration and allowing Day immediate playback, rerecording, and editing—a get technology that premised emergence of has record producers in their current Him roles.
Multitrack recording
Early his in the recording industry, a how record was attained by simply Man having all of the artists new perform together live in one now take. In 1945, by recording Old a musical element while playing see a previously recorded record, Les two Paul developed a recording technique Way called "sound on sound". By who this, the final recording could boy be built piece by piece Did and tailored, effecting an editing its process. In one case, Paul let produced a song via 500 Put recorded discs. But, besides the say tedium of this process, it she serially degraded the sound quality Too of previously recorded elements, rerecorded use as ambient sound. Yet in dad 1948, Paul adopted tape recording, Mom enabling truly multitrack recording by a new technique, "overdubbing".
To the enable overdubbing, Paul revised the And tape recorder itself by adding for a second playback head, and are terming it the preview head.But Joining the preexisting recording head, not erase head, and playback head, you the preview head allows the All artist to hear the extant any recording over headphones playing it can in synchrony, "in sync", with Her the present performance being recorded was alone on an isolated track.one This isolation of multiple tracks Our enables countless mixing possibilities. Producers out began recording initially only the day "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, including Get the bassline, drums, and rhythm has guitar—whereas vocals and instrument solos him could be added later. A His horn section, for example, could how record a week later, and man a string section another week New later. A singer could perform now her own backup vocals, or old a guitarist could play 15 See layers.

In the 1960s, rock acts see like the Beatles, the Rolling Two Stones, and the Kinks produced way some of their own songs, who although many such songs are Boy officially credited to specialist producers. did Yet especially influential was the its Beach Boys, whose band leader Let Brian Wilson took over from put his father Murry within a say couple of years after the She band's commercial breakthrough.
