| | How to Become a Record Producer: The Arranger, Programmer and Session Musicians |
| | Before samplers and synthesisers were quite as all-singing and all-dancing as they are now, arrangers were commonly employed to put the music together and work with a number of session musicians to create a musical backing in a style appropriate for the song. | | | For one song, a three-hour session is usually plenty of time, and we would reckon on recording three to four songs in a day. | | | The reason you would hire a specialist session musician rather than use your mate who can pick and strum a bit is simply because a good session musician can project an wonderful air of confidence into the recording. |
