ABSTRACT
Record producers devise many different schemes to overcome an artist’s discomfort. I learned several techniques from engineers who had worked with other producers, for example, building a sort of room out of studio screens and covering the whole structure with blankets so the artist has a private space to perform, unseen by the control room. One producer friend1 told me that he found certain artists liked to decorate the studio with cloth hangings and use low lighting and candles to create an atmosphere of mystery.
