Great Moments in Music Production
I'm starting to get some ideas together for a new album, music production is my first love and I remain extremely interested in all the latest technology and am always listening to new music to try and excite my ever-ageing earbuds with some new ideas. To me there's nothing quite like a well-made record, I don't particularly like live music, the joy of listening on good headphones to a record with great songs and amazing production is second to none... I used to teach sound recording at a school (it's now part of the Higher music syllabus) and I loved taking new students through a very quick history of sound recording and opening their ears to what was really happening in songs. Those little details that the musician and producer will have slaved over, but the casual listener may not hear. I kind of miss those classes, it was a great job to have! It should be noted that 'produced' records are not always the best way forward. Take 'Hurt' by Nine
