The Art Of Music Production – Part 6

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 12:00 AM PST

In this week’s Audio Premium content, Bobby Owsinski concludes his in-depth series on “The Art of Music Production”. This week we look at self-production—what it takes and how to do it.

This is the last in the series on music production based around my new book, The Music Producer's Handbook, and it deals with self-production, a process that's become very common these days. Just because you own your own studio or have some production experience doesn't necessarily mean you're able to produce yourself though. As you'll see, it takes a strategy that goes beyond the nuts and bolts of normal production.

Self Production is simultaneously one of the most difficult things to do in music, and perhaps one of the easiest. Every artist hears what their music should sound like in their head (that's the easy part), but it's sometimes difficult to get it to actually sound that way when it comes to real-life recording. That can lead the artist to overwork a song until it's limp like a dishrag, or overproduce it so it sounds like you have a so many layers that it sounds like there's a 30 piece band backing you up. Indeed, it's difficult to get it to sound somewhere in between, which means that you project is both exciting and vital, and still meets your vision.
