You get to spend your days socializing with famous and talented musicians, creating pieces of art that are valued by millions of people. As a music producer, you are a respected and integral part of the production of an album, and you get to shape the tone, style, and sound of an album as it\u2019s created. While this dream job has more perks than any music lover could ever hope for, most musicians don\u2019t know how to become a music producer or what\u2019s involved in the job.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/microphone-and-headphones-on-guitar-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"how to become a music producer\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/microphone-and-headphones-on-guitar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/microphone-and-headphones-on-guitar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/microphone-and-headphones-on-guitar.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The road to becoming a music producer isn\u2019t an easy one \u2014 and the job itself isn\u2019t simple either. The job is coveted and the competition for the limited spots is fierce. In recent years, as the music industry has changed and small, independent labels have a greater share of the music production, the job of music producer has become more rare. Nowadays, a music producer will often fulfill a number of roles for a band.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the band\u2019s manager or audio engineer will act as producer, while other bands have a designated producer. But what exactly does a music producer do, and how do you become one?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Music Producer?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/producer-and-sound-engineer-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"music producer making an album\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/producer-and-sound-engineer-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/producer-and-sound-engineer-768x611.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/producer-and-sound-engineer.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>A music producer is responsible for many tasks, and, ultimately, they are entrusted with shaping the record as a whole. In order to do this, they must have considerable knowledge and experience in all areas of music production and musicianship. A record producer is expected to know the ins and outs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/benefits-of-learning-about-audio-engineering\/\">audio engineering<\/a>, performance, arrangement, music theory, marketing, and general business practices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Often a record producer will be responsible for managing the entire process of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/recording-studio-equipment\/\"> recording an album<\/a>. In order to do this, they will need to know how to schedule studio time, keep everyone on task, organize and hire studio musicians, negotiate, organize contracts, and come up with ideas for the project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Record producers must be entrepreneurial. It is the most dynamic role in the production of a record, and it requires years of experience in the industry. Now that we know what a music producer does, let\u2019s look at how to become a music producer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many paths you can take when you&#8217;re trying to figure out how to become a music producer, and there is no one right or wrong way there. What is most important, in how to become a music producer is you must learn the ins and outs of every facet of the music industry. You must learn every step in the process of making a record, and to learn all of this takes time in a few different roles in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Become a Musician<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most music producers will get their start in another role (or several roles) in the music industry. Because producers are so intimately involved in shaping the sound of a record, it is important that they have a good understanding of music itself. Many, if not <em>most<\/em>, music producers start out as musicians. To become a music producer you need to know musical arrangement, composition, theory, and all different genres. It\u2019s often musicians who have the best understanding of these subjects, and, as a result, musicians often make the best music producers. If you\u2019re wondering how to become a music producer, start by becoming a musician.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a musician you will learn a lot about the process of writing music and creating a record. It is a frustrating and daunting process, and the difficulty of it is why record producers exist. To be a good record producer, you need to be able to empathize with a band who is trying to create an album. You have to be able to help them shape their vision for the album, and if you\u2019ve created an album of your own this will be much easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Study Music Business<\/h2>\n<p>Producers must also have a vast knowledge of industry trends\u2014what\u2019s popular, what sells, and how genres differ from each other. In order to produce an album that\u2019s successful and lives up to the <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/music-business-school-300x292.jpg\" alt=\"degree in music business\" width=\"300\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/music-business-school-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/music-business-school-768x748.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/music-business-school.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>vision of the band, a producer must fully understand what a good album in a particular genre should sound like. How to become a music producer doesn\u2019t depend on this, but many producers get their experience and knowledge in these areas in a university music business program.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A good music business program will cover most of the legal, financial, and administrative aspects of being a music producer. While this might not immediately open the door to being a major label producer, it definitely helps to pave the pathway there. With a good education in music business, you can further your industry experience as a band manager, venue manager, tour manager, or one of many other industry professions. Once you have your foot in the door and some experience under your belt, it will be possible to transition into a music producer role.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Learn Audio Engineering<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most beneficial skills for a record producer to have is an understanding of audio engineering. Because a record producer is an integral part of shaping the sound of a record, they are involved in every aspect of creating it: recording, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/audio-mixing-basics\/\">mixing<\/a>, and mastering. It\u2019s immensely helpful if a record producer knows the skills involved in audio engineering. They should have ears that are well trained to what sounds good, as they will provide input throughout the creation of the album.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If a record producer has a desired sound, tone, or effect in mind, they must be able to effectively communicate the intended sound to the audio engineer in control. This is critical to creating an album that fits correctly in its genre, sounds good, and is marketable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are countless programs available to learn audio engineering for all different skill levels, budgets, and aspirations. Certificate programs are very popular, and will give you all of the skills necessary to break into the industry. They are more cost effective than degree programs, however a 4-year degree program will help you make more connections in the industry and gain a tremendous amount of experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Manage a Band<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"managing a rock band\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/rock-band-vector.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>If you have the know-how and skills to be a record producer, and you\u2019re looking for an in, volunteering to manage a band can help you get your start. Most independent bands do not have the funding to justify a designated record producer. Rather, their band manager will often serve as producer in addition to band manager. Many industry professionals get their start by managing their friends\u2019 or another unknown band. If you help to lead the band to success, and produce a quality album that receives recognition, then you will have your start in the business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Managing and producing an independent and unknown band can be a lot of fun, and it can be a very comprehensive learning experience. To do this successfully \u2014 on your own without training \u2014 you will need to do a lot of self-study and research. If you have a foundational knowledge of music styles and trends, then some studying of music business can go a long way for your success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Intern in a Studio<\/h2>\n<p>As a recording studio intern, you will constantly be exposed to record producers and other industry professionals. The music business is all about making connections, and interning is one of the most common ways to start making these. While you may have to spend a long time, working hard hours, with little or no pay, a studio intern gets to see the whole process of how a record is produced and created. The exposure to the process will help you learn the terminology, methods, and skills that are a part of creating a record.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/internship-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"benefits of internship\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/internship-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/internship-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/internship.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While an internship likely won\u2019t lead directly to a record producer job, it will open many doors in the industry. More importantly, it will help you begin to develop the skills necessary to craft a record from start to finish.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Work for a Record Label<\/h2>\n<p>If you have no experience in the music business, your best bet to learn how to become a music producer might be to get an entry level job with a record label. If you start out helping an independent record label with whatever skills you may already have, you will find opportunities to learn and develop your career down the road. It may take many years to move from an entry level position all the way to record producer, but if you have the right skills, attitude, and work ethic, this is a way to establish yourself in a fun and exciting career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many musicians and music lovers, to be a music producer is the absolute dream job.
