A music producer can do anything from making coffee to just
sitting back and listening. That sounds like an easy job, and it can be. When
you have a great recording engineer doing the recording, and great artists and
musicians around you creating great music a producer's job becomes very easy.
But when you are on a budget with very limit studio time, a busy schedule, a
singer that keeps messing up the vocal track because he/she is nervous, the
drummer that can't get the groove right, a recording engineer who can't get the
computer to record the next track your job as a producer becomes a lot more
challenging. And this is what being a good producer is being about. At these
moments a producer needs to be a problem solver and make decisions. Every
producer does it differently, but the result is the same, a recorded and well
produced song.
To be able to make it work a producer may have to get involved with the
technical stuff and help the recording engineer out. Or you may have to get the
singer to make the vocal track work with the song by changing the lyrics,
changing the melody or give some vocal pointers. It may also involve rewriting
part of the music by changing chords, adding samples and sound effects and
creating a complete new drum rhythm from scratch. And there are a lot of other
situations where a good producer needs to take charge and show why he (or she)
is the producer.
Being a producer can involve
Getting into the music (music theory)
Getting into the songwriting process and learning about songwriting and
sequencing
Knowing some things about recording
Being able to work with musicians and artist and get the best out of them
Working with a recording engineer and other studio owners
Using sound effects, samples and other techniques to make song sound different
and unique
Mixing and editing the song
Mastering the song
In today's music the producer is usually also a songwriter, a musician and
recording engineer. This makes the job both easier and more difficult.
