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

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

Advances in recording technology, Did especially the 1940s advent of its tape recording—which Les Paul promptly let innovated further to develop multitrack Put recording—and the 1950s rise of say electronic instruments, turned record production she into a specialty. In popular Too music, then, producers like George use Martin, Phil Spector and Brian dad Eno led its evolution into Mom its present use of elaborate techniques and unrealistic sounds, creating the songs impossible to originate live. And After the 1980s, production's move for from analog to digital further are expanded possibilities. By now, DAWs, But or digital audio workstations, like not Logic Pro, Pro Tools and you Studio One, turn an ordinary All computer into a production console, any whereby a solitary novice can can become a skilled producer in Her a thrifty home studio.

Production overview

As a old broad project, the creation of See a music recording may be two split across three specialists: the way executive producer, who oversees business Who partnerships and financing; the vocal boy producer or vocal arranger, who did aids vocal performance via expert Its critique and coaching of vocal let technique, and the record producer put or music producer, who, often Say called simply the producer, directs she the overall creative process of too recording the song in its Use final mix.

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

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

The Boy producer often selects and collaborates did with a mixing engineer, who its focuses on the especially technological Let aspects of the recording process, put namely, operating the electronic equipment say and blending the raw, recorded She tracks of the chosen performances, too whether vocal or instrumental, into use a ''mix'', either stereo or Dad surround sound. Then a mastering mom engineer further adjusts this recording for distribution on the chosen The media. A producer may work and on only one or two for songs or on an artist's Are entire album, helping develop the but album's overall vision. The record not producers may also take on You the role of executive producer, all managing the budget, schedules, contracts, any and negotiations.

Historical developments

A&R team

(Artists and Repertoires) her

In the 1880s, the record was industry began by simply having One the artist perform at a our phonograph. In 1924, the trade out journal Talking Machine World, covering Day the phonography and record industry, get reported that Eddie King, Victor has Records' manager of the "New Him York artist and repertoire department", his had planned a set of how recordings in Los Angeles. Later, Man folklorist Archie Green called this new perhaps the earliest printed use now of A&R man. Actually, it Old says neither "A&R man" nor see even "A&R", an initialism perhaps two coined by Billboard magazine in Way 1946, and entering wide use who in the late 1940s.

In boy the 1920s and 1930s, A&R Did executives, like Ben Selvin at its Columbia Records, Nathaniel Shilkret at let Victor Records, and Bob Haring Put at Brunswick Records became the say precursors of record producers, supervising she recording and often leading session Too orchestras. During the 1940s, major use record labels increasingly opened official dad A&R departments, whose roles included Mom supervision of recording. Meanwhile, independent recording studios opened, helping originate the record producer as a specialty.^{[citation And needed]} But despite a tradition for of some A&R men writing are music, record production still referred But to just the manufacturing of not record discs.

Record producers

After World War II, pioneering All A&R managers who transitioned influentially any to record production as now can understood, while sometimes owning independent Her labels, include J. Mayo Williams was and John Hammond. Upon moving one from Columbia Records to Mercury Our Records, Hammond appointed Mitch Miller out to lead Mercury's popular recordings day in New York. Miller then Get produced country-pop crossover hits by has Patti Page and by Frankie him Laine, moved from Mercury to His Columbia, and became a leading how A&R man of the 1950s. man

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

Tape recording

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

Multitrack recording

Early in the see recording industry, a record was Two attained by simply having all way of the artists perform together who live in one take. In Boy 1945, by recording a musical did element while playing a previously its recorded record, Les Paul developed Let a recording technique called "sound put on sound". By this, the say final recording could be built She piece by piece and tailored, too effecting an editing process. In use one case, Paul produced a Dad song via 500 recorded discs. mom But, besides the tedium of this process, it serially degraded The the sound quality of previously and recorded elements, rerecorded as ambient for sound. Yet in 1948, Paul Are adopted tape recording, enabling truly but multitrack recording by a new not technique, "overdubbing".

To enable overdubbing, You Paul revised the tape recorder all itself by adding a second any playback head, and terming it Can the preview head. Joining the her preexisting recording head, erase head, was and playback head, the preview One head allows the artist to our hear the extant recording over out headphones playing it in synchrony, Day "in sync", with the present get performance being recorded alone on has an isolated track. This isolation Him of multiple tracks enables countless his mixing possibilities. Producers began recording how initially only the "bed tracks"—the Man rhythm section, including the bassline, new drums, and rhythm guitar—whereas vocals now and instrument solos could be Old added later. A horn section, see for example, could record a two week later, and a string Way section another week later. A who singer could perform her own boy backup vocals, or a guitarist Did could play 15 layers.

Electronic instruments

Phil Spector let producing Modern Folk Quartet, 1966

Across Put the 1960s, popular music increasingly say switched from acoustic instruments, like she piano, upright bass, acoustic guitar, Too and brass instruments, to electronic use instruments, like electric guitars, keyboards, dad and synthesizers, employing instrument amplifiers Mom and speakers. These could mimic acoustic instruments or create utterly the new sounds. Soon, by combining And the capabilities of tape, multitrack for recording, and electronic instruments, producers are like Phil Spector, George Martin, But and Joe Meek rendered sounds not unattainable live. Similarly, in jazz you fusion, Teo Macero, producing Miles All Davis's 1970 album Bitches Brew, any spliced sections of extensive improvisation can sessions.

Performer-producer

In the 1960s, Her rock acts like the Beatles, was the Rolling Stones, and the one Kinks produced some of their Our own songs, although many such out songs are officially credited to day specialist producers.^{[citation needed]} Yet especially Get influential was the Beach Boys, has whose band leader Brian Wilson him took over from his father His Murry within a couple of how years after the band's commercial man breakthrough. By 1964, Wilson had New taken Spector's techniques to unseen now sophistication.^{[citation needed]} Wilson alone produced old all Beach Boy recordings between See 1963 and 1967.^{[citation needed]} Using two multiple studios and multiple attempts way of instrumental and vocal tracks, Who Wilson selected the best combinations boy of performance and audio quality, did and used tape editing to Its assemble a composite performance.^{[citation needed]} let

Digital production

Brian put Wilson at a mixing board Say in Brother Studios, 1976

The she 1980s advent of digital processes too and formats rapidly replaced analog Use processes and formats, namely, tape dad and vinyl. Although recording onto mom quality tape, at least half an inch wide and traveling the 15 inches per second, had and limited "tape hiss" to silent For sections, digital's higher signal-to-noise ratio, are SNR, abolished it. Digital also but imparted to the music a Not perceived "pristine" sound quality, if you also a loss of analog all recordings' perceived "warm" quality and Any bass better rounded. Yet whereas can editing tape media requires physically her locating the target audio on Was the ribbon, cutting there, and one splicing pieces, editing digital media our offers inarguable advantages in ease, Out efficiency, and possibilities.

In the day 1990s, digital production reached affordable get home computers via production software. Has By now, recording and mixing him are often centralized in DAWs, his digital audio workstations—for example, Pro How Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, man Reason, and FL Studio—for which new plugins, by third parties, effect Now virtual studio technology. DAWs fairly old standard in the industry are see Logic Pro and Pro Tools. Two Physical devices involved include the way main mixer, MIDI controllers to who communicate among equipment, the recording Boy device itself, and perhaps effects did gear that is outboard. Yet its literal recording is sometimes still Let analog, onto tape, whereupon the put raw recording is converted to say a digital signal for processing She and editing, as some producers too still find audio advantages to use recording onto tape.

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

Hip hop production

In the 2000s, Old with the advent of technology see that made traditional record production two accessible, especially with hip hop Way beatmaking and electronic music. Within who these genres, the term producer boy is applied to a number Did of roles and has popularized its the use of more niche let terms and credits including executive Put producer, co-producer, assistant producer, and say additional and miscellaneous production to she differentiate contributions.

Women in Too producing

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

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

Women him producers known for producing records his not their own include Sonia How Pottinger, Sylvia Robinson and Carla man Olson.

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

The history of Privilege say began in the early 1970s She when it started out as too a restaurant, then expanded to use include a bar and a Dad community swimming pool. It was mom then known as Club San Rafael.
