• Up until recently, the sole job of the music
  producer was to over see the recording process of
  a song or an entire album. His or her main duty
  would be to schedule the studio time, keep all of
  the band members on time, and provide a second
  ear for a particular sound.

3

• The music produce was basically the leader The
  person who would bring everything together. They
  would act as a bridge between the record lable
  and the artist. They would make sure that the
  artist was completely satisfied and all of their
  musical needs were met. While today's music
  producer may still do these things, the overall
  job has become more interactive.

4

• Today's music producers are expected to over see
  the entire song process. They are involved in
  everything from pre production, post production
  to mastering. The producer must be an expert in
  every aspect of the music creation process. He
  must be a solid musician, or have superior
  knowledge of musical theory.

5

• He must also understand the engineering aspect
  of the recording process. A sound knowledge of
  the music business is also necessary. The
  producer will be communicating back and forth
  between the artists/musicians, the recording
  engineer, and the record company so it is
  extremely important that he/she speaks the
  language of all three.

6

• In most cases, the music producer is expected to
  be the song writer and engineer on a particular
  song, and even for entire projects. This is found
  most commonly in hip hop, rb and other brands of
  popular music. In these genres the producer is
  expected to pre-compose the instrumental, and
  even at times write and record the hook.

7

• Some producers will collaborate with other
  songwriters and composers to design entire
  packaged songs to sell for huge profits and
  royalty cuts. The salary of a typical music
  producer can vary. In the past, landing a job as
  a music producer for a record company would yield
  you a very healthy income.

8

• The role of the music producer has definitely
  changed from what it was some sixty years ago.
  Through-out all of these changes one thing
  remains true, acquiring a good producer is a
  necessary step in the success of a musical act.

9

• Not only does this bring the music experience to
  a song that an artist may be lacking, but when
  artists attach themselves to well known producers
  it has been known to yield great success. If an
  artist with little or no buzz gets production
  from a big name such as Dr. Dre, or Timbaland,
  this could potentially sky rocket them to the top
  of the charts. After all, this is why they get
  paid so much... right?

10

• No Budget No Experience
• When I first started out getting into producing
  I had nothing. School loans were killing my
  pockets, school work was taking all of my time
  and if I did have some time to try and do
  something I didn't have a very good way of doing
  it. But hopefully with this article I can help
  out a few people find out what all is out there
  to work with, what to use and how to use it.

11

• First off I'm going to list some stuff that can
  be very helpful.
• 1. Learn an instrument. Because training your
  ear and learning musical theory will benefit your
  career. You should also try to compose your own
  songs, master tempos, and understanding music
  from the other side of the DAW (Digital Audio
  Workstation).

12

• 2. Master a DAW To create, you'll need to learn
  how to use a DAW and as many music-processing
  programs as you can. Some producers use programs
  such as Cakewalk Sonar, Reason, Pro Tools, and FL
  Studio. If you don't a have some background in
  sound production, a good program to start off
  with is FL Studio.

13

• 3. Create instrumentals. Try Hip Hop, Dub step,
  Rock, Pop, RB. The more genres you become good
  in, the more clients you can get!
• 4. Remake your favorite song. Take a known song
  try to remake it and give it your own flavor.
  Think about. What kind of potential does it have?
  How can you make it better?

14

• 5. Get Networking. Tell family and friends
  you're producing music. Create business cards.
  Post bulletins around your neighborhood. Make
  your prices are reasonable, you'll get clients in
  no time. Charge cheap per hour or per song.
  (Remember to keep family and business separate,
  though.)

15

• 6. Intern at a studio. Sure, it's tough work,
  but you might get some free time in a real
  recording studio. You'll make friends in the
  business (and bring home that paycheck). Start
  low if necessary the point is to get your foot
  in the door.

16

• 7. Get educated. So if music production doesn't
  work out, you'll have something to fall back on
  if it does, you'll be able to get higher
  positions with better pay.
• 8. Save up. Now that you have knowledge of the
  business, steady source of income, and a client
  base, you can start your own studio.
