Going “Pro” Is All About The “Pre” - Part 1: Why The Strength of A Production Is So Dependent Upon A Songs Structure

This week, the guys dive into what is potentially the most crucial step behind the process of making records - PRE-PRODUCTION! Because the outcome of a song is tied so closely to the pre-production process, this will be the 1st in a series of multiple episodes dedicated to breaking down the idea of pre-production. In an effort to better explore how to attack it and what you can get out of it, this episode goes in depth on the following topics: -Pillars of Song Structure -Where to begin refining your songs structure? -Identifying and elevating the most memorable moments of the song -In-person vs. Remote Pre-Production -Terminology - Getting on the same page -Letting the song dictate the structure -"Playing It vs. Saying It" For more info, visit our website at: www.truelevelstudio.com/therecordprocess Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therecordprocess/ https://www.instagram.com/truelevelstudio/?hl=en Show Hosts: Casey Cavaliere (Producer / Mixer / Guitarist of The Wonder Years) www.CaseyCavaliere.com www.thewonderyearsband.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/case_rock/?hl=en Tom Conran (Audio Engineer / Producer / Acoustician ) www.TomConranAudio.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/thetomconran/?hl=en Adam Ackerman (Songwriter / Recording Artist / Multi-Instrumentalist) www.AtomSonicConcepts.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/theadamackerman/?hl=en Share any thoughts, questions, comments, or suggestions with us via email at: [email protected] Artwork by Holly Smith ( https://www.instagram.com/_hollysmith/?hl=en ) Music: Main Theme - "Almas" by Casey Cavaliere Additional Music by Tom Conran Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-record-process--4847305/support.
