Production Ideasĭemos can also be treated as a scratch pad for production ideas. Producing a song that still needs lyrics changing or light and shades discovered can harm the song. If the song still stands up to everyone’s judgement after a week and needs no further rewrites then it is ready for production. Distance And EvaluationĬreating a demo gives the songwriter a golden opportunity to step back from the song and writing process. Having a selection of demos from the artist helps you to know as a producer that you are about to invest time into the right song and that there’s not a better song from the artist… a hidden gem that may work better in production. When selecting a song to produce it is sometimes good practise to have a few other songs to choose from. The song’s structure, tempo, key, feel, groove, dynamics and mood should be captured in the demo process. Musicalityĭemo recordings help confirm the final stages of the songwriting process. I want to share with you 5 reasons why making demos can help artists and producers work faster and more creatively when in the production process of a song.
Demo recordings provide all the parties that will be included in the production process with a blue print to which everybody can work to. Demo recordings can be anything from a simple vocal and guitar recording to a 4 to 8 track pre production mix. Over the years I have seen a decline in artists creating demo recordings of their songs which they intend to record and produce with me.
