Synopsis

This book will help you learn to recognize and create the three vital elements of producing top-quality recordings - a great song, a great performance of that song, and a great sound. Olsen shares his expertise on musical themes, performance, arrangement and musical trends. Then he takes you into the recording studio, with discussions of microphone placement, drum recording, acoustic and electric guitar, monitor speakers, and the pros and cons of building a home studio. After you've mastered those concepts, you will learn about the more technical nuts and bolts of producing, the vibe in the studio, and of course the engineering aspects, including the use of effects, the spectrum of sound, and mixing. Finally, you need to know your path through advertising and legal matters for your productions, and Olsen does not disaapoint, demystifying promotion, royalties and copyrights, pirating and intellectual property rights. In short, this comprehensive guide is your key to the world of producing quality products!
