ABSTRACT
In the past, almost all commercial music was recorded and mixed by a professional recording engineer under the supervision of a producer and/or artist. Within the music production industry, it’s a well-known fact that most professionals have to earn their “ears” by logging countless hours behind the console. This chapter looks into the audio production process. It discusses how the technology of the music studio environment combines with the everyday practice of getting the most out of production environment to understand the underlying concepts that go into making the process as smooth and professional as possible. The business of art is one that’s generally reserved for self-starters. In addition to the Web, various recording and electronic music mags can be placed in the bathroom as reading material.
