PRODUCTION ESSAYS

 

I have chosen to present three essays on the recording process, which I hope you will find useful and informative:


1. The Role of the Recording and Mastering Producer: a brief presentation of my philosophy as a producer that I have adhered to for over 30 years. It outlines the key roles that a producer plays in the overall success of a recording, and why a producer is necessary to a recording session.


2. From Editing Plot to Creation of the Final Production Master: you've finished the recording sessions, now what? This essay outlines the basic steps from creation of the editing plot to the completion of the production master.


3. Recommendations for Choral Recording Sessions: this essay addresses key recommendations and basic expectations for members of a chorus, before and during a recording session. Although it is specifically addressed to chorus members, the information is useful for any ensemble preparing for a recording session.
