which was probably actual production, like setting up microphones and getting actual recordings on disk or whatever

yep, full on studio work basically.jancivil wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:14 pmwhich was probably actual production, like setting up microphones and getting actual recordings on disk or whatever
24 track analogue and a 48 track (well, inputs) digital.
with a side module on live work.
learning all the different mic types, different set ups for different sounds eg for drums either close mic everything, or the simple 2 over heads and a kick mic (led zep sound) and so on.
learning the science behind acoustics.
a lot of boring class room study
but very useful once it clicks and you get to apply it
also, putting actual productions together, from finding the musicians to writing the pieces then recording and mixing.

“I cannot tell whether you have talent. What you have shown me proves a certain intelligence, but you must not forget this, young man—that talent is only long patience. Work.

Now that's an advertisement!Stringzy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:42 pm If you are Bob Ezrin or Daniel Lanois, you may as well run around the Earth screaming out loud 24/7 you are THE producer, all good in my book.
But if you are this type of guy >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lXmOE9PApw (and lets be honest, most schmucks from YT tutorials, music SW commercials, calling themselves "prohdusarz", are exactly this type of guy).
Then producer you are NOT.
