Songwriting

Some artists want some help with songwriting while other artists do not. This may include chord selection, coming up withor adjusting melodies and harmonies, arrangement, and lyrics. Above all, the artist’s vision, experience and feeling are raw materials which this process aims to refine and turn into a song

Recording

Achieving the desired aesthetic for a production is done via microphone selection and placement, as well as choosing the right instruments and correct settings. Modern pop, R&B and hip-hop usually only require the recording of the vocals while most of the other elements are done in the computer using samples, loops, and virtual instruments. Other genres might be entirely recorded in the studio using a combination of microphones, preamps, instruments, and amplifiers

Production

This process entails determining the overall aesthetic of the song or project (e.g. vintage, modern, loud, quiet, dynamic, 80s, 90s, electronic, organic and live sounding, etc). Tempo, instrument selection, sample sounds and structure play a big role here, as well as taste, talent and inspiration. Great producers understand the social and temporal context the artist inhabits and are able to help them communicate their message and feeling through music

Mixing

Individual volume adjusting, dynamic processing, equalization for all tracks is determined as well as the use of effects such as saturation, reverb, delays, modulation, and pitch correction to achieve different sounds and sensations. The entire frequency spectrum must be examined to ensure the record sounds balanced across all devices people listen music through such as phones, laptops, car speakers, bluetooth speakers, headphones and TVs.
