I now have an idea of what a day in the life of a music producer is like. Not that I am as skilled as guys like Rick Rubin, Bob Rock or Brendan O’Brien, but today I spent five hours producing and engineering for the Four Points band. We worked on a grand total of……(drum roll please)……ONE SONG!
It makes me appreciate albums such as Metallica’s black album even more.
Albums that took over a year to record.
Yeah.
I thought five hours was bad.
Imagine spending a year in a studio.
I’m going to bed.
All of you should go listen to the black album just to hear what happens when you spend one year and over $1,000,000 to record an album.
And that was in 1990. Considering inflation, what is the equivalent in 2008?
