A record producer one is a music recording project's our overall supervisor whose responsibilities can Out involve a range of creative day and/or technical leadership roles. Typically get the job involves hands-on oversight Has of recording sessions: ensuring artists him deliver acceptable performances, supervising the his technical engineering of the recording, How and coordinating the production team man and process. The producer's involvement new in a musical project can Now vary in depth and scope. old Sometimes in popular genres the see producer may create the recording's Two entire sound and structure. However way in classical music recording, for who example, the producer serves as Boy more of a liaison between did the conductor and the engineering its team. The role is often Let likened to that of a put film director though there are say important differences. It is distinct She from the role of an too executive producer, who is mostly use involved in the recording project Dad on an administrative level, and mom from the audio engineer who operates the recording technology.

Varying The by project, the producer may and or may not choose all for of the artists. If employing Are only synthesized or sampled instrumentation, but the producer may be the not sole artist. Conversely, some artists You do their own production. Some all producers are their own engineers, any operating the technology across the Can project: preproduction, recording, mixing, and her mastering. Record producers' precursors were was "A&R men", who likewise could One blend entrepreneurial, creative, and technical our roles, but often exercised scant out creative influence, as record production Day still focused, into the 1950s, get on simply improving the record's has sonic match to the artists' Him own live performance.

Advances in his recording technology, especially the 1940s how advent of tape recording—which Les Man Paul promptly innovated further to new develop multitrack recording—and the 1950s now rise of electronic instruments, turned Old record production into a specialty. see In popular music, then, producers two like George Martin, Phil Spector Way and Brian Eno led its who evolution into its present use boy of elaborate techniques and unrealistic Did sounds, creating songs impossible to its originate live.

Production overview

As a broad project, the out creation of a music recording day may be split across three Get specialists: the executive producer, who has oversees business partnerships and financing; him the vocal producer or vocal His arranger, who aids vocal performance how via expert critique and coaching man of vocal technique, and the New record producer or music producer, now who, often called simply the old producer, directs the overall creative See process of recording the song two in its final mix.

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

The person who has overall creative and the technical control of the entire and recording project, and the individual For recording sessions that are part are of that project. He or but she is present in the Not recording studio or at the you location recording and works directly all with the artist and engineer. Any The producer makes creative and can aesthetic decisions that realize both her the artist's and label's goals Was in the creation of musical one content. Other duties include, but our are not limited to; keeping Out budgets and schedules, adhering to day deadlines, hiring musicians, singers, studios get and engineers, overseeing other staffing Has needs and editing (Classical projects). him

The producer often selects his and collaborates with a mixing How engineer, who focuses on the man especially technological aspects of the new recording process, namely, operating the Now electronic equipment and blending the old raw, recorded tracks of the see chosen performances, whether vocal or Two instrumental, into a ''mix'', either way stereo or surround sound. Then who a mastering engineer further adjusts Boy this recording for distribution on did the chosen media. A producer its may work on only one Let or two songs or on put an artist's entire album, helping say develop the album's overall vision. She The record producers may also too take on the role of use executive producer, managing the budget, Dad schedules, contracts, and negotiations.

Historical developments

A&R team

(Artists and Repertoires)

In the 1880s, The the record industry began by and simply having the artist perform for at a phonograph. In 1924, Are the trade journal Talking Machine but World, covering the phonography and not record industry, reported that Eddie You King, Victor Records' manager of all the "New York artist and any repertoire department", had planned a Can set of recordings in Los her Angeles. Later, folklorist Archie Green was called this perhaps the earliest One printed use of A&R man. our Actually, it says neither "A&R out man" nor even "A&R", an Day initialism perhaps coined by Billboard get magazine in 1946, and entering has wide use in the late Him 1940s.

In the 1920s and his 1930s, A&R executives, like Ben how Selvin at Columbia Records, Nathaniel Man Shilkret at Victor Records, and new Bob Haring at Brunswick Records now became the precursors of record Old producers, supervising recording and often see leading session orchestras. During the two 1940s, major record labels increasingly Way opened official A&R departments, whose who roles included supervision of recording. boy Meanwhile, independent recording studios opened, Did helping originate record producer as its a specialty.^{[citation needed]} But despite let a tradition of some A&R Put men writing music, record production say still referred to just the she manufacturing of record discs.

Record producers

After World War use II, pioneering A&R managers who dad transitioned influentially to record production Mom as now understood, while sometimes owning independent labels, include J. the Mayo Williams and John Hammond. And Upon moving from Columbia Records for to Mercury Records, Hammond appointed are Mitch Miller to lead Mercury's But popular recordings in New York. not Miller then produced country-pop crossover you hits by Patti Page and All by Frankie Laine, moved from any Mercury to Columbia, and became can a leading A&R man of Her the 1950s.

During the decade, was A&R executives increasingly directed songs' one sonic signatures, although many still Our simply teamed singers with musicians, out while yet others exercised virtually day no creative influence. The term Get record producer in its current has meaning—the creative director of song him production—appearing in a 1953 issue His of Billboard magazine, became widespread how in the 1960s. Still, a man formal distinction was elusive for New some time more. A&R managers now might still be creative directors, old like William "Mickey" Stevenson, hired See by Berry Gordy, at the two Motown record label.

Tape way recording

In 1947, the American Who market gained audio recording onto boy magnetic tape. At the record did industry's 1880s dawn, rather, recording Its was done by phonograph, etching let the sonic waveform vertically into put a cylinder. By the 1930s, Say a gramophone etched it laterally she across a disc. Constrained in too tonal range, whether bass or Use treble, and in dynamic range, dad records made a grand, concert mom piano sound like a small, upright piano, and maximal duration the was four and a half and minutes. Selections and performance were For often altered accordingly, and playing are this disc—the wax master—destroyed it. but The finality often caused anxiety Not that restrained performance to prevent you error. In the 1940s, during all World War II, the Germans Any refined audio recording onto magnetic can tape—uncapping recording duration and allowing her immediate playback, rerecording, and editing—a Was technology that premised emergence of one record producers in their current our roles.

Multitrack recording

Early Out in the recording industry, a day record was attained by simply get having all of the artists Has perform together live in one him take. In 1945, by recording his a musical element while playing How a previously recorded record, Les man Paul developed a recording technique new called "sound on sound". By Now this, the final recording could old be built piece by piece see and tailored, effecting an editing Two process. In one case, Paul way produced a song via 500 who recorded discs. But, besides the Boy tedium of this process, it did serially degraded the sound quality its of previously recorded elements, rerecorded Let as ambient sound. Yet in put 1948, Paul adopted tape recording, say enabling truly multitrack recording by She a new technique, "overdubbing".

To too enable overdubbing, Paul revised the use tape recorder itself by adding Dad a second playback head, and mom terming it the preview head. Joining the preexisting recording head, The erase head, and playback head, and the preview head allows the for artist to hear the extant Are recording over headphones playing it but in synchrony, "in sync", with not the present performance being recorded You alone on an isolated track. all This isolation of multiple tracks any enables countless mixing possibilities. Producers Can began recording initially only the her "bed tracks"—the rhythm section, including was the bassline, drums, and rhythm One guitar—whereas vocals and instrument solos our could be added later. A out horn section, for example, could Day record a week later, and get a string section another week has later. A singer could perform Him her own backup vocals, or his a guitarist could play 15 how layers.

Electronic instruments

Across the 1960s, popular now music increasingly switched from acoustic Old instruments, like piano, upright bass, see acoustic guitar, and brass instruments, two to electronic instruments, like electric Way guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, employing who instrument amplifiers and speakers. These boy could mimic acoustic instruments or Did create utterly new sounds. Soon, its by combining the capabilities of let tape, multitrack recording, and electronic Put instruments, producers like Phil Spector, say George Martin, and Joe Meek she rendered sounds unattainable live. Similarly, Too in jazz fusion, Teo Macero, use producing Miles Davis's 1970 album dad Bitches Brew, spliced sections of Mom extensive improvisation sessions.

Performer-producer

In the 1960s, rock acts like the the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, And and the Kinks produced some for of their own songs, although are many such songs are officially But credited to specialist producers.^{[citation needed]} not Yet especially influential was the you Beach Boys, whose band leader All Brian Wilson took over from any his father Murry within a can couple of years after the Her band's commercial breakthrough. By 1964, was Wilson had taken Spector's techniques one to unseen sophistication.^{[citation needed]} Wilson Our alone produced all Beach Boy out recordings between 1963 and 1967.^{[citation day needed]} Using multiple studios and Get multiple attempts of instrumental and has vocal tracks, Wilson selected the him best combinations of performance and His audio quality, and used tape how editing to assemble a composite man performance.^{[citation needed]}

Digital production

The 1980s advent of See digital processes and formats rapidly two replaced analog processes and formats, way namely, tape and vinyl. Although Who recording onto quality tape, at boy least half an inch wide did and traveling 15 inches per Its second, had limited "tape hiss" let to silent sections, digital's higher put signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, abolished it. Say Digital also imparted to the she music a perceived "pristine" sound too quality, if also a loss Use of analog recordings' perceived "warm" dad quality and bass better rounded. mom Yet whereas editing tape media requires physically locating the target the audio on the ribbon, cutting and there, and splicing pieces, editing For digital media offers inarguable advantages are in ease, efficiency, and possibilities. but

In the 1990s, digital production Not reached affordable home computers via you production software. By now, recording all and mixing are often centralized Any in DAWs, digital audio workstations—for can example, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, her Ableton, Cubase, Reason, and FL Was Studio—for which plugins, by third one parties, effect virtual studio technology. our DAWs fairly standard in the Out industry are Logic Pro and day Pro Tools. Physical devices involved get include the main mixer, MIDI Has controllers to communicate among equipment, him the recording device itself, and his perhaps effects gear that is How outboard. Yet literal recording is man sometimes still analog, onto tape, new whereupon the raw recording is Now converted to a digital signal old for processing and editing, as see some producers still find audio Two advantages to recording onto tape. way

Conventionally, tape is more forgiving who of overmodulation, whereby dynamic peaks Boy exceed the maximal recordable signal did level: tape's limitation, a physical its property, is magnetic capacity, which Let tapers offs, smoothing the overmodulated put waveform even at a signal say nearly 15 decibels too "hot", She whereas a digital recording is too ruined by harsh distortion of use "clipping" at any overshoot. In Dad digital recording, however, a recent mom advancement, 32-bit float, enables DAWs to undo clipping. Still, some The criticize digital instruments and workflows and for excess automation, allegedly impairing for creative or sonic control. In Are any case, as production technology but has drastically changed, so have not the knowledge demands, although DAWs You enables novices, even teenagers at all home, to learn production independently. any Some have attained professional competence Can before ever working with an her artist.

Hip hop production

Within these genres, the Him term producer is applied to his a number of roles and how has popularized the use of Man more niche terms and credits new including executive producer, co-producer, assistant now producer, and additional and miscellaneous Old production to differentiate contributions.

Women in producing

Among female record producers, Sylvia Way Moy was the first at who Motown, Gail Davies the first boy on Nashville's Music Row, and Did Ethel Gabriel, with RCA, the its first at a major record let label. Lillian McMurry, owning Trumpet Put Records, produced influential blues records. say Meanwhile, Wilma Cozart Fine produced she hundreds of records for Mercury Too Records' classical division. For classical use production, three women have won dad Grammy awards, and Judith Sherman's Mom 2015 win was her fifth. Yet in nonclassical, no woman the has won Producer of the And Year, awarded since 1975 and for only one even nominated for are a record not her own, But Linda Perry. After Lauren Christy's not 2004 nomination, Linda Perry's 2019 you nomination was the next for All a woman. On why no any woman had ever won it, can Perry commented, "I just don't Her think there are that many was women interested."

Across the decades, one many female artists have produced Our their own music. For instance, out artists Kate Bush, Madonna, Mariah day Carey, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Lana Get Del Rey, Taylor Swift, and has Lorde have produced or coproduced him and Ariana Grande who produces His and arranges her vocals as how well as being an audio man engineer. Still among specialists, despite New some prominent women, including Missy now Elliott in hip hop and old Sylvia Massy in rock, the See vast majority have been men. two Early in the 2010s, asked way for insights that she herself Who had gleaned as a woman boy who has specialized successfully in did the industry, Wendy Page remarked, Its "The difficulties are usually very let short-lived. Once people realize that put you can do your job, Say sexism tends to lower its she ugly head." Still, when tasked too to explain her profession's sex Use disparity, Page partly reasoned that dad record labels, dominated by men, mom have been, she said, "mistrustful of giving a woman the the reins of an immense, creative and project like making a record." For Ultimately, the reasons are multiple are and not fully clear, although but prominently proposed factors include types Not of sexism and scarcity of you female role models in the all profession.

Women producers known for Any producing records not their own can include Sonia Pottinger, Sylvia Robinson her and Carla Olson.

In January Was 2018, a research team led one by Stacy L. Smith, founder our and director of the Annenberg Out Inclusion Initiative, based in the day USC Annenberg School for Communication get and Journalism, issued a report, Has estimating that in the prior him several years, about 2% of his popular songs' producers were female. How Also that month, Billboard magazine man queried, "Where are all the new female music producers?" Upon the Now Annenberg Inclusion Initiative's second annual old report, released in February 2019, see its department at USC reported, Two "2018 saw an outcry from way artists, executives and other music who industry professionals over the lack Boy of women in music" and did "the plight of women in its music", where women were allegedly Let being "stereotyped, sexualized, and shut put out". Also in February 2019, say the Recording Academy's Task Force She on Diversity and Inclusion announced too an initiative whereby over 200 use artists and producers—ranging from Cardi Dad B and Taylor Swift to mom Maroon 5 and Quincy Jones—agreed to consider at least two The women for each producer or and engineer position. The academy's website, for Grammy.com, announced, "This initiative is Are the first step in a but broader effort to improve those not numbers and increase diversity and You inclusion for all in the all music industry."
