Producing music

Without a song, how could one possibly begin to record? Typically, writing a song starts with an idea or
an inspiration. It may begin with lyric and a melody, a chord progression, a unique sound/loop or an
improvisation that takes on a life of its own. Once this idea ____________________ (develop) enough to
stand on its own merits, the music production process ____________________ (start). A music
production must support, in every way possible, the message or prevailing emotion of the song.

The most common mistake I see today with young producers and songwriters is that they focus on the
sounds or production elements before the song ____________________ (finish). The song
____________________ (write) before you start producing. For certain styles of music this can work if the
 production invokes a feeling or emotion that inspires the lyric and melody. In many cases though, the
production sounds disjointed because the lyric and melody end up being limited to the production style
or arrangement. What happens next is that the arrangement ____________________ (adapt) to the lyric
and melody and the production can easily lose the coherency necessary for the song to carry its message.
