"But today, the industry is leaner and meaner: Record labels don't like paying for major studio lockouts, and cost-cutting and efficiency are the name of the game. Now, more than ever before, it's essential that artists — and the producers who work with them — keep an eye on the bottom line when they're recording, and that often means devoting more time and energy to pre-production." "There's no right or wrong way to do it, and the line between pre-production and actual tracking is blurring more each day." "The producer's job in the pre-production stage, whether it's me or another artist, is to try to marry a song with the artist. There's usually some give and take there about song choice and the way it could be arranged and how to approach it —" Incluso en su propio estudio hay que cuidar el presupuesto. "“For pre-production with a rapper, or any style that's using a drum machine — based composition, the sound of the kick and snare is the foundation — that's everything. If it doesn't sound right, it's not going to work. With rap in particular, the better your foundation is, the fewer elements you have to add to your composition." "“What you need to achieve in pre-production is unique to every project,” he says from his home in L.A. “A rock band may wish to capture a live, organic feel, in which case, you need to perfect the arrangements and make sure everyone knows their parts. An electronic band may need to sort out any loops or keyboard sounds before entering the studio to save valuable dollars. When a musician is desperately trying to remember an arrangement, he is not likely to play to his best ability. If pre-production goes well and you get a good performance, then you are less likely to have to use any technology to fix it later." |

"Arranging seems to be a lost art these days. I often think it's because young producers — especially in the alternative and rock genres — are intimidated by the classic perception of an arranger sitting at a piano writing out all these complex orchestrations. Let's look at it another way, then. An arrangement can simply be referred to as the overall noise, and you want this noise to be an engaging one that pulls the listener into the track. The mistake people sometimes make is to separate sonics from the musical arrangement. Great-sounding records are invariably great arrangements, not just feats of brilliant engineering and mixing." "When I work with artists for the first time, however, I start the preproduction process with some very serious discussions. First, I ask them to send me some of their favorite records, because you can get some really cool ideas based on what someone grew up listening to. Then, I ask whether they had specific problems with their previous record and what they think I can do for them. In return, I try to be very specific about what I think we should try to do on the next record and why." "Ideally, the preproduction process should be used to develop an overall scheme for the record. You don't want to walk into the studio with a first-time artist without knowing what to do. Having said that, after I communicate my ideas to the musicians, the track often develops its own plans. Sometimes, the initial ideas I developed during pre-production prove to be completely wrong. But if I'm working with good players, we all realize immediately when an idea isn't happening and find something else to do. You have to be flexible and let the song guide you." |

"Going to a studio without proper preparation can turn out to be a complete waste of time and money from which one might not survive. This money would have been better invested in the promotions of the album and on touring, or, better yet, a completely delirious idea I might say : invested in a decent salary for the people you invited to play on the album or for the technicians that have been helping you as a favor during all these years ! What a crazy idea I just had there ???" "The BEATLES, for their first sessions at Abbey Road, had three hours, no more, to record side A and B of a 45 rpm vynil, and that includes microphone positioning and other technical issues !"

"As important as the sound of a record can be, what is far more important is that the song itself and the performance of that song be musically and emotionally engaging." "I would prefer a short amount of time in the studio to record an album, plus sufficient time for preproduction," "usually has more to do with performance and arrangement strategies developed with the artist than a particular recording or mixing approach I may have used." "Preproduction should be a simple low cost stage of record production that helps save (or at least betters spend) money and make better records." " The goal of reproduction is to address three fundamental areas: 1) Songwriting and song crafting. 2) Defining the vision of the record. 3) Making sure that the performances serve the vision of the record." "The studio should be a place to explore nuances, charge emotional energy and capture the magic of a performance and the moment." " For an artist and a producer to define a vision for an album, there is certainly no fancy studio equipment required. This can take place in a café, in a restaurant over dinner, in the band¹s practice space or even in cyberspace via Email or Internet chat, as is often the case for international project. All that is necessary is a way for people to be able to exchange ideas." " By the end of preproduction I want to have established a vision for the record. What is the feel or mood we are going for? What is the sound we are going for? What is the process we will use to record? Who are we making this record for? How long should an album be? What songs will be on the album? " "If a team of people enter a studio with a clear goal and all work towards that goal, even if you miss that goal you will probably end up some where interesting and of value. If there is no clear vision for a record this will be reflected in the final product." " Once a vision for a record has been established, it is important that the performances of the musicians work to support that vision." "The foundation of great sounding instruments and recordings is great sounding performances. If a drummer wants a big rock sound, playing like a jazz musician will not serve that goal and visa versa." "Preproduction is a 2-way education for the producer and the artists. It is a time to share ideas, to grow as musicians and develop the trust and skills that will be necessary when it is time to bring your best into the studio. |
