Dan said The Best Guide to Music Production Available. Zen and the Art of Producing is probably the best book I've ever come across on the topic of music production (I've read quite a few). With his witty, signature style more matured than ever, Mixerman takes the reader on a journey through the process of producing a record, complete with all of the "under-the-hood" thought processes and potential trap. I love this author. Insightful and relevant. I love this author. Insightful and relevant.. Great book! This great book looks at producing music from all angles reasonably possible, both separately and in complex, including theory, techniques, psychology, economics and whatever else I can think of. Lots of useful info and advice. Very well written and structured. Great humor. I like it very much.
Mixerman lays out the many organizational and creative roles of an effective producer as budget manager, time manager, personnel manager, product manager, arranger, visionary and leader, and without ever foregoing the politics involved in the process. As Mixerman points out, "Producing is an art in which reading and understanding people nearly always trumps any theoretical knowledge - whether musical or technical in nature."
