In the music industry, a record producer has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. This has been a major function of producers since the inception of sound recording, but in the later half of the 20th century producers also took on a wider entrepreneurial role.

The music producer could, in some cases, be compared to the film director in that the producer's job is to create, shape and mold a piece of music in accordance with their vision for the album. Unlike in film, the music producer is seldom responsible for raising the funds to create the record – more like the film director, the record producer is hired by those who have already obtained funding (typically record or publishing companies, though occasionally the artists themselves).

With that said, what we do here is multifaceted to meet the changing needs of the music scene. The internet, Youtube, Myspace etc., is opening doors and oppurtunities for artists that have never been available to them before now. We use digital and analog technology to take advantage of the best of both worlds.
"Oppurtunity comes to those who are prepared..."
The first thing one needs is demos, records, mp3s and various version or edits of your art to be prepared. A good producer/engineer can help with all these aspects. To help put things in perspective I've laid out  a few scenarios:

 Basic Song Arrangement and Production Scenario
1. Play down the song for Producer, talk about any lyric, chord, melody changes
2. Record basic scratch tracks of guitar ( or piano ) and vocals to a click. ( or custom rhythm machine groove )
3. This is where we can experiment with arrangement changes: swapping choruses, verses, bridges etc. ( very quick and easy with Pro Tools )

From here...to there :

At this point we can decide what intruments we need to FILL OUT the track.

Then :

1. Track additional instrumentation
2. Make rough mixes
3. Track Vocals
4. Add any "icing on the cake" parts
5. Work on a final mix

Here is an example of a song we've taken from the very basic form, vocals and an accompaniment instrument   ( in this case nylon string guitar and some vocal tracks)  to full production )
