    Comparative Analysis of Two Producers

    The following report introduces two producers I draw inspiration from, and am influenced by; Rick Rubin and Ken Scott. Firstly to critically analyze their bodies of work we must first understand the role of a producer and what classifies an individual as a producer or engineer. A producer must be able to oversee and effectively manage the recording, they must be able to understand the bands vision, they must have an overall goal as to what they wish to produce with the band, they must be creatively innovative and true to the bands and their own style, they must effectively portray the story the band is telling through their song, they must be able to shape and mold a piece of music and make it sound cohesively perfect. The producer is relied on to take a sound and make it happen, they are expected to work within a certain timeframe and have to be able to follow the direction of the band, the overall mood and tonality of the song must be effectively conveyed in the piece and therefore an appropriate use of mixing must be analyzed by the producer in order to achieve the most relevant sound that the band is associated with. The producer must have a competent understanding of processing a sound, and the recording path that is used to do this. The role of a producer, however, has greatly changed over the past decade with the forever expanding world of technology - we mere a need a laptop and a simple recording device to be classified as a producer in today’s music society, furthermore as future producers ourselves we must have a sound knowledge of our industry that lays before us and the greats that are within it, for these are the people we will most learn by and draw inspiration from. To produce a reliable report the validity of resources must be considered, and the relevance of sources to the topic presented should be…

Another time in literature when violence has gotten out of hand was in. Robert Louis Stevenson novel.
