I am this close (>.<) to being a music producer
 

My basic idea for the CD cover:

<img src="http://www.myrefrigerator.com/images/Sax%20Maniac.jpg">

A short home video of Aubrey, picking up on Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street' (which has a great sax solo) very quickly; it's a short 19 sec viddy, but a 20 meg download, that's Nikon for ya':

and the music producing enters this how?

sm:

I am just wishing, but I have already set most of this up:

1) A killer sax player who can assemble a killer band in a heartbeat. He wants to get away from singing the Blues, more into the R&B type.

2) A vocalist who covers Mary J Blige type songs but sounds better than Mary J Blige

3) A partner who has a musiic video set, with an 18-wheel trailer and a caboose as backdrops among other things, but unfortunately no recording equipment at this time.

4,5) Will, and a credit card

6) I get credit as Bongo player

When I get something half-assed to show in the meantime I will post it. Wish me luck.

i think what sm's getting at is that producing music has a whole lot to do with sitting in a studio for 12 hours at a time, obsessing over lots of nitpicky musical things like "that A string has a weird harmonic coming from it when you fret the G#," or "sing that through THIS microphone this time and see if we get the right sound," or "I know you've played that line 499 times, but I think it can be cooler. play it again."

or "i've got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!"

Not having ever been involved with video in any way, I dunno what that entails. Anyway, good luck dude, hope you have success.

CD cover has a nifty Dire-Straitsy thing going for it, too.

Part 1 was completed long ago.

Sax Maniac is great. You have to figure out how to convert it to a smaller file so more people can see it...really. :)
