  • Summary

  • Are you a songwriter who'd like to take a song idea into the studio to make a recording? Or maybe a poet that would like to turn your poetry into lyrics? "Anatomy of a Song" takes you from demo to disc. Host Greg Smith, an accomplished songwriter with 14 albums of his own recordings, as well as a producer and session musician on over 100 other releases, talks with musicians of all genres about how a spark of inspiration turned into a lyric, and then a song. Greg and his guests break down the process of making a home demo, then refining it. They also discuss the inner workings of a professional studio environment: the role of producers, session players and engineers. Or if you'd like to keep in all "in-house", some of the gear you'll need to create your own home studio in order to produce radio- and streaming-friendly recordings. Even the process of protecting your music through copyright. "Anatomy of a Song": from inspiration to composition to recording to release.
