Atlanta Institute of Music and Media, based in Duluth, Georgia, has announced that they have recently posted an article on frequently asked questions regarding music production. The music production FAQ article offers helpful content for aspiring music producers, who love recording mixing, and mastering music. They want to point out that music production is much more than just editing music content. Oftentimes, music producers need to function like project managers and this may entail leading sound engineers, changing creative components, and keeping everything organized.
The questions answered in the FAQ article include the role of the music producer, how much music producers make, how many years of college is required for music production, the degree that is required for music production, and the schools that offer music production.
On the question on what is music production, it is important to note that it used to convert a new song or music into something that is in the best condition for easy consumption. The job of a music producer entails organizing the raw music into a structured and cohesive song; adding individual sounds; determining when and how each section of the song is played; taking charge of the engineer working on the track, and work with the musician in the creation of new music content within the song, which can involve playing some instruments.
Meanwhile, the long hours of work as a music producer can also result in a substantial pay. Depending on their reputation and other factors, music producers may be able to sign a contract that guarantees 2.5 percent of the album sales and they may get a $10,000 advance for each song.
To really distinguish themselves from others, music producers usually get a college education. There are bachelor degrees and associate degrees for music production. It should be noted that while bachelor degrees may be preferred because they require four years to complete, the associate degrees may actually be better because they are faster, condensed, and students still receive the same valued education. Furthermore, the cost of an associate degree is usually much less than the cost of a bachelor’s degree.
