Grammy Winning Producer-Lends ears to your production quailty
Self Recording? The role of a Producer includes coaching and guiding the
musicians, send Larry Mitchell your production and let him critique it and help you get the most out of your production effort.
With computer web applications like Music Xray, Facebook, YouTube and MySpace, "Indie" record producers can now serve in very non-traditional roles, using these "social networking" sites. They can produce via the internet by having their clients email .mp3 or .wav files to them. In this way the producer/Artist can be located in a different geographic location and still accomplish their goal.
With digital audio workstations like Digidesign Protools it is not uncommon for the producers to seldom meet the clients but rather share the project files. These new technologies have also sparked a variety of "do it yourself" producers.
Let's get a Producer who has merrit to give his ears to you and your song.
