What makes an amazing producer? Is it their technical know-how, or their innate musicianship? Is it an ear for a hit or a knack for the commercial? The ability to faithfully reproduce an artist's sound, or steer them in a new direction? Do you need people skills, a GSOH, or experience as a babysitter? There are a lot of things you can do to become a successful music producer, but it takes more than a simple love for music production and the desire to be famous.
This book is a compact and quick read, deliberately. In this digital age, I think people want authors (of non-fiction anyway) to get to the point and tell them what they need to know quickly. It may be short but I believe it is rich in concepts that used correctly can accelerate someone's progress to becoming a great music producer.
If you do want to be the next RedOne, Dr. Luke, Mutt Lange, George Martin, or Rick Rubin then this book should really help you think more like them.
I intend this little book of big concepts to be the first in a series. My hope is that readers will give constructive feedback with requests for other areas that they would like covered in the future.
