Guitarist, songwriter, and producer Pete Anderson was an essential component of Dwight Yoakam's popular breakout by helping forge his "revisionist honky-tonk" style - a seismic commercial and cultural rethink that changed country music in the 1980s. Anderson's finely tuned attention to songcraft, musical arrangements, and instrumental tones has inspired artists such as Jackson Browne, the Meat Puppets, k.d. kang, Michelle Shocked, and Lucinda Williams to seek his expertise and vibe in the recording studio.
In How to Produce a Record: A Player's Philosophy for Making a Great Recording, Anderson shares his vast knowledge and authentic, real-world experience by detailing his techniques, creative strategies, and psychological tools. Nothing is held back. All the secrets are revealed.
In this video series, Pete dives into key concepts from the book. Today, he's sharing how he pans various sections of the mix in and out in order to make the listener feel like they're truly in the room!
