Behind The Scenes: Producing

As a amateur producer, I always find myself learning new things about the music business. Many people underestimate the importance of the individuals behind the scenes in the production and entertainment industry. People think that entertainers do everything themselves and forget about the people that work to make the entertainer who they are. I know for a fact when people listen to a song on the radio or at a concert, they dont think about the hours the band or the producer put into creating and perfecting that song. As a producer, I know first hand the problems that producers have when trying to create a new track. Its not as simple as sitting down at a computer and just putting a classic and awesome track together. It takes the most time to get the initial idea for the song together. Then countless hours trying to find the right instruments and plug-ins, and then finally arranging the song to perfections. Personally, I can never sit down in one session and create a track perfectly. I have to sit down get my initial idea out and come back with more ideas and add on to the base of the track. For producers like Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Ryan Leslie, Sledgren, Just Blaze and many more; with their level of expertise creating a track in one day c an be a breeze. But at the end of the day, music is music. Kanye West has beats that have taken more than a year to finish, and he's one of the industries best. 


And one more note to behind the scenes producing. . . There is ALWAYS something to buy for producing or studios!
