Priority list on music production

 At your risk.


The closer to the source the more important the quality is.


For example the song is more important than the recording. No matter how good a recording an unimaginative composition is an unimaginative composition.


So what could be a priority list?


What the producer has in mind.


What the composer has in mind.


The song.


The arrangment.


The quality of music instrument or instruments used.


The quality of voice or intonation of the singer.


The acoustics or lack of acoustics, for example recording outdoors, or not recording near wall reflections etc.


The mic positions.


The microphone or microphones.


The mic preamp.


The recording equipment.


The recording medium.


The reproducing system.


The monitoring loudspeakers.


The brain of the listener.
