Back to today’s Premium tut:

In many musician’s minds, music production is either some sort of wizardry or overhyped bunk. While it true that either is a possibility, most of the time a producer’s job comes down to hard work, experience, some good ears, and a real feel for what makes the music work. This series about music production is based around my new book, The Music Producer’s Handbook, where I’ll outline some basic production techniques and hopefully remove the vail of mystery from the process. Be aware that we’ll be looking at the relationship of a producer with a band or an artist with a backing band or studio musicians. We’ll tackle self-production later in the series.

In Part 2, we’ll look at the most overlooked, but one of the most crucial parts of production – preproduction.
