How to Get Your Own Gospel Music Produced

Gospel is a moving, spiritual, and highly individual form of music. When music is produced, it involves structuring and often changing parts of a song to make it more marketable. Gospel may lose some personal touches in the production process, but the end result will be music that is accessible to a wider audience. In turn, this allows the musician to progress in their career.

Instructions

  1. How to Get Your Own Gospel Music Produced

    • 1

      Hold a pre-production meeting and create a plan. All people involved in the musical process should attend the meeting -- musicians, songwriters, sound engineers, and the producer. The creation of a plan will lay out the production outline, including where to record the music, the artistic outcome each individual hopes for, the time and financial budget, who will make payment and when payment is due, and any other concerns.

    • 2

      Record the tracks in a professional recording studio. The musicians and vocalists will perform the songs and the recording engineer will assure that each take is recorded correctly. During the recording process, the musicians, vocalist, songwriter, sound engineer and producer should feel free to suggest changes to improve the songs. Keep in mind that the producer will have the final say.

    • 3

      Begin post-production by editing the recorded tracks on a mixing board. The songwriter will be able to listen to the rough mix, but an engineer and the producer will come up with a final mix. Mixing is done either in the studio where the music was recorded or it will be sent to a mixing house to have a new set of ears complete the final mix.

    • 4

      Manufacture the gospel music on a tangible medium such as a CD and have the music file transferred to a digital music file such as an mp3 or wav. The replication of the actual saleable product will be completed by a CD pressing plant or transferred as a digital file directly from the mixing studio.
