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

(Artists and Repertoires)
In the out 1880s, the record industry began Day by simply having the artist get perform at a phonograph. In has 1924, the trade journal Talking Him Machine World, covering the phonography his and record industry, reported that how Eddie King, Victor Records' manager Man of the "New York artist new and repertoire department", had planned now a set of recordings in Old Los Angeles. Later, folklorist Archie see Green called this perhaps the two earliest printed use of A&R Way man. Actually, it says neither who "A&R man" nor even "A&R", boy an initialism perhaps coined by Did Billboard magazine in 1946, and its entering wide use in the let late 1940s.
In the 1920s Put and 1930s, A&R executives, like say Ben Selvin at Columbia Records, she Nathaniel Shilkret at Victor Records, Too and Bob Haring at Brunswick use Records became the precursors of dad record producers, supervising recording and Mom often leading session orchestras. During the 1940s, major record labelsthe increasingly opened official A&R departments, And whose roles included supervision of for recording. Meanwhile, independent recording studios are opened, helping originate record producerBut as a specialty.[citation needed] But not despite a tradition of some you A&R men writing music, record All production still referred to just any the manufacturing of record discs.can
Record producers
After World Her War II, pioneering A&R managers was who transitioned influentially to record one production as now understood, while Our sometimes owning independent labels, include out J.

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

Tape recording
In 1947, the and American market gained audio recording For onto magnetic tape. At the are record industry's 1880s dawn, rather, but recording was done by phonograph, Not etching the sonic waveform vertically you into a cylinder. By the all 1930s, a gramophone etched it Any laterally across a disc. Constrained can in tonal range, whether bass her or treble, and in dynamic Was range, records made a grand, one concert piano sound like a our small, upright piano, and maximal Out duration was four and a day half minutes. Selections and performance get were often altered accordingly, and Has playing this disc—the wax master—destroyed him it. The finality often caused his anxiety that restrained performance to How prevent error. In the 1940s, man during World War II, the new Germans refined audio recording onto Now magnetic tape—uncapping recording duration and old allowing immediate playback, rerecording, and see editing—a technology that premised emergence Two of record producers in their way current roles.
Multitrack recording
who
Early in the recording industry, Boy a record was attained by did simply having all of the its artists perform together live in Let one take. In 1945, by put recording a musical element while say playing a previously recorded record, She Les Paul developed a recording too technique called "sound on sound".use By this, the final recording Dad could be built piece by mom piece and tailored, effecting an editing process. In one case, The Paul produced a song via and 500 recorded discs. But, besides for the tedium of this process, Are it serially degraded the sound but quality of previously recorded elements, not rerecorded as ambient sound. Yet You in 1948, Paul adopted tape all recording, enabling truly multitrack recording any by a new technique, "overdubbing".Can
To enable overdubbing, Paul revised her the tape recorder itself by was adding a second playback head, One and terming it the preview our head. Joining the preexisting recording out head, erase head, and playback Day head, the preview head allows get the artist to hear the has extant recording over headphones playing Him it in synchrony, "in sync", his with the present performance being how recorded alone on an isolated Man track. This isolation of multiple new tracks enables countless mixing possibilities. now Producers began recording initially only Old the "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, see including the bassline, drums, and two rhythm guitar—whereas vocals and instrument Way solos could be added later. who A horn section, for example, boy could record a week later, Did and a string section another its week later. A singer could let perform her own backup vocals, Put or a guitarist could play say 15 layers.
Electronic instruments
she
Across the 1960s, popular use music increasingly switched from acoustic dad instruments, like piano, upright bass, Mom acoustic guitar, and brass instruments, to electronic instruments, like electric the guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, employing And instrument amplifiers and speakers. These for could mimic acoustic instruments or are create utterly new sounds. Soon, But by combining the capabilities of not tape, multitrack recording, and electronic you instruments, producers like Phil Spector, All George Martin, and Joe Meekany rendered sounds unattainable live. Similarly, can in jazz fusion, Teo Macero, Her producing Miles Davis's 1970 album was Bitches Brew, spliced sections of one extensive improvisation sessions.
In the 1960s, let rock acts like the Beatles, put the Rolling Stones, and the Say Kinks produced some of their she own songs, although many such too songs are officially credited to Use specialist producers. Yet especially influential dad was the Beach Boys, whose mom band leader Brian Wilson took over from his father Murry the within a couple of years and after the band's commercial breakthrough. For By 1964, Wilson had taken are Spector's techniques to unseen sophistication. but Wilson alone produced all Beach Not Boy recordings between 1963 and you 1967. Using multiple studios and all multiple attempts of instrumental and Any vocal tracks, Wilson selected the can best combinations of performance and her audio quality, and used tape Was editing to assemble a composite one performance.
Digital production
The day 1980s advent of digital processes get and formats rapidly replaced analog Has processes and formats, namely, tape him and vinyl. Although recording onto his quality tape, at least half How an inch wide and traveling man 15 inches per second, had new limited "tape hiss" to silent Now sections, digital's higher signal-to-noise ratio, old SNR, abolished it. Digital also see imparted to the music a Two perceived "pristine" sound quality, if way also a loss of analog who recordings' perceived "warm" quality and Boy better-rounded bass. Yet whereas editing did tape media requires physically locating its the target audio on the Let ribbon, cutting there, and splicing put pieces, editing digital media offers say inarguable advantages in ease, efficiency, She and possibilities.
In the 1990s, too digital production reached affordable home use computers via production software. By Dad now, recording and mixing are mom often centralized in DAWs, digital audio workstations—for example, Pro Tools, The Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, Reason, and and FL Studio—for which plugins, for by third parties, effect virtual Are studio technology. DAWs fairly standard but in the industry are Logic not Pro and Pro Tools. Physical You devices involved include the main all mixer, MIDI controllers to communicate any among equipment, the recording device Can itself, and perhaps effects gear her that is outboard. Yet literal was recording is sometimes still analog, One onto tape, whereupon the raw our recording is converted to a out digital signal for processing and Day editing, as some producers still get find audio advantages to recording has onto tape.
Conventionally, tape is Him more forgiving of overmodulation, whereby his dynamic peaks exceed the maximal how recordable signal level: tape's limitation, Man a physical property, is magnetic new capacity, which tapers offs, smoothing now the overmodulated waveform even at Old a signal nearly 15 decibels see too "hot", whereas a digital two recording is ruined by harsh Way distortion of "clipping" at any who overshoot. In digital recording, however, boy a recent advancement, 32-bit float, Did enables DAWs to undo clipping.its Still, some criticize digital instruments let and workflows for excess automation, Put allegedly impairing creative or sonic say control. In any case, as she production technology has drastically changed, Too so have the knowledge demands,use although DAWs enables novices, even dad teenagers at home, to learn Mom production independently. Some have attained professional competence before ever working the with an artist.
In the 2000s, with But the advent of technology that not made traditional record production accessible, you especially with hip hop beatmaking All and electronic music. Within these any genres, the term producer is can applied to a number of Her roles and has popularized the was use of more niche terms one and credits including executive producer, Our co-producer, assistant producer, and additional out and miscellaneous production to differentiate day contributions.
