The S.M.A.R.T. Guide to Becoming a Successful Producer/Engineer (S.M.A.R.T. Guide To...) Bill A. Gibson

A producer is in charge of the creative aspects of recording. An engineer handles the technical aspects of recording. These two functions go hand in hand -- almost all great producers know a lot about engineering and most great engineers know a lot about producing. To that end, knowledge of both functions is essential to anyone producing a band or solo artist, whether the artist is you, or someone who has hired you to be their record producer. This book is written with the aspiring and practicing producer/engineer in mind -- the talented musician who wants to help others make inspired creative music. If you really want to produce great music, you need to know everything that goes into making a great album from the initial meeting with the artist all the way to developing the right instrument and vocal sounds and getting the most out of the musicians. You also need to understand the business side of producing -- getting financial backing, developing a budget, and understanding the legal issues involved. The S.M.A.R.T. Guide to Becoming a Successful Producer/Engineer provides comprehensive guidance on all of these elements and more, through best-selling author Bill Gibson?s accessible and conversational teaching style. Instructions on how to successfully get the job, budget, schedule, deal with egos, and most importantly, create the perfect sound are provided, along with case studies of how popular songs by U2, Black Eyed Peas, and Keith Urban were produced. The accompanying DVD alone is worth the price of the book. It?s loaded with audio examples that illustrate many of the concepts explained in the text, and includes easy-to-follow video tutorials that show you specifically how to optimize your productions in crucial musical situations. The S.M.A.R.T. Guide to Becoming a Successful Producer/Engineer is a complete recording course in one book/DVD package! Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The S.M.A.R.T.
