The Three Stages of Music Production

There are three stages in the music production cycle. They are preproduction, or the work that you do before you start recording; recording, where you commit your songs and ideas to media (digital or other); and finally, the finishing work of mixing, mastering and releasing the recordings. As a producer and mixer, you may find yourself involved in one or all of these stages at one time or another.

Understanding each of these three stages and the work, opportunities and responsibilities involved in them will help you in all kinds of ways when it comes to creating music. This knowledge will help you organise your efforts, eliminate confusion, improve your workflow and please your artists.

While we will provide you with extensive details of each of these stages and the work that occurs within each, we want to make one thing clear from the outset: the work that’s necessary to create great recordings always occurs in context of the type of music, the artist, the available time and the budget.

What is best for the song? What is best fortheartist? Your decisions in production and engineering must relate to the kind of music you are recording and to solving the issues required to achieve the result you are seeking.

No professional ever does work for work’s sake or follows processes for processes’ sake. The work we do and the processes we employ are only the ones necessary to move a song towards asuccessful completion. There’s no single path to follow to this destination. The only ‘right’ way to record is the way that gets you efficiently to the result you intend to deliver.
