- Some background on the producer - i.e. how did they get into music production?
- What artists and records have they worked on/with?
- Does the producer have a signature sound?
- What approach do they take to music production - are they quite controlling or more laid back? Do they impose their sounds on the record or do they allow the musicians to control the musical direction?
- If you were in a band and about to go into the studio with one of the two producers, how do you imagine the sessions may differ ?
We will also continue developing our understanding of a music producer's role. Here are video's relating to producers Stephen Street and Butch Vig. And finally here is a podcast from the Word magazine interviewing producer Steve Lillywhite.
