What You Should Know About Music Production.

18/3/2020

We have been blessed with many art forms over the ages, from painting and sculpting to theatre and cinema. But music has always had a special place for many people, probably because of how therapeutic it can be. Listening to your favourite tunes when you are feeling down and stressed has been scientifically proven to help improve your mood. What is even better than listening to music is making and producing it, but unfortunately, that is a very difficult industry to get into.

Here is what you need to know about music production.

What the Producer Does. 
Well, if you want to know about music production, the first thing that you should understand is what exactly a producer does, and the answer is just about everything. In broader terms, a music producer oversees and handles the process of recording and producing a song. But this is for studio productions which involve top artists in the industry, and the producer usually has dozens of people helping them in several aspects of the production process –– from training the artist and guiding them to mixing. If, however, you want to produce music from the comfort of your home, then you will be in charge of most of those angles, and yes, anyone can produce music from their homes. 
Mixing music is a crucial step in music production as it can make or break the quality of the final product by ensuring that all elements of a song are properly balanced, clear, and audible. Without proper mixing, even the best composition can sound muddled and unprofessional.

How the Sound Is Created.

Music production is about creating tunes, which need to be catchy and interesting if you want your music to sell. So, how exactly are the sounds created? For some artists, they create their own masterpiece and the producer just records and mixes the tracks. According to Samplified.us, if you want to produce your own music, it is essential to have samples, loops, presets, one-shots, and high-quality music sounds that are pre-recorded by experts and sound engineers. This isn’t stealing music or anything, because you will still get those sounds and arrange them to create something unique and that is your own. Those samples and loops just saves you the time and effort of recording music in a studio, and they give you the creative freedom to try and experiment with different tunes. 

Not Everything Sells This.
is a very important point that you need to keep in mind before getting into music production. Not all
music genres sell, and you won’t necessarily become a millionaire by recording a heavy metal album or some weird techno music. This is why you need to know what you want to achieve from making music. Are you really interested in making it in the industry and selling records? Or are you doing this for your own entertainment and for the artistic value of what you produce? This is a question that you need to answer before producing. You can learn a lot from commercial music, but if that isn’t your thing, then you need to consider your options here.


It Is Difficult.
 
It’s actually extremely difficult. This isn’t exactly a hobby that you can get into and sell records six months later. It will take you some time to perfect your craft and get better at this. And it will even be more time until your records are good enough to be released. It is not just about being good at the creative part of making music. You still need time to fully grasp music production and mixing, and the process entails a lot of trial and error, so you need to dedicate your time for this to work. The end result is certainly rewarding and fulfilling, but you need to know that it doesn’t come easily. 

What Can you Do?
If you really delve into the music production world, the possibilities are endless. You can record and produce music for yourself and release it as an independent artist. You don’t even need a label to do it in the digital age we live in. With platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and a million others, you can still get a following even if you produce your music at home. You could also produce music for other artists, regardless of the genre, if that is what you see yourself doing. Some producers make music for films or even video games, but this requires certain musical knowledge and the ability to play more than one instrument. 

As you can see, there are many things that you can do as a music producer, but earning that title isn’t as simple as it sounds. You need musical knowledge, preferably, if you want to grow in that line of work. You will also need to understand the technology and software behind mixing and producing music. The more time and effort you put into this, the better your career will be.

I like the fact that you went ahead and spoke about the practicality of the industry as well.

Turning your hobby into a profession is not everyone's cup of tea.

People think they can do it but before getting into it, articles such as these will actually make them aware of the sacrifices they will have to make, to get there.
