When you’re ready to take your music to the next level, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is choosing the right music producer. Whether you’re working on your debut single or your next big project, understanding the different types of producers and what they bring to the table is crucial. At Moreish Studios, we specialise in high-end music production, and we’re here to help you figure out the best path for your music journey.
Section 1: Different Kinds of Music Producers
The world of music producers is vast and varied, and not all producers are created equal. Depending on your needs, the right producer could be someone with a home setup or a full-scale recording studio with access to a team of industry professionals.
Bedroom and Ableton Producers
At the entry level, many emerging producers use software like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or FL Studio from the comfort of their home studios. These producers are often self-taught, versatile, and affordable, making them a good match for artists on a tight budget or those exploring their sound. While they can be incredibly creative and capable, they may not always have access to the tools, gear, or collaborative environment required for higher-end production.
Solo Mixing Producers
Next up are mixing producers who operate semi-professionally. These individuals often have a solid grasp of engineering and music theory, a decent studio setup, and at least a few years of experience. They can deliver high-quality results, especially for artists with well-formed ideas and arrangements. However, they usually work alone, meaning the collaborative input is limited, and resources like live instruments, professional session musicians, and acoustic-treated recording environments may not be part of the package.
High-End Music Producers like Moreish Studios
At Moreish Studios, we offer a premium production experience. Our music producers don’t just work behind a computer — they work in a professional recording studio environment equipped with industry-standard gear and access to top-tier session musicians, songwriters, and audio engineers. This level of production is ideal for artists aiming for commercial-level releases, collaboration opportunities, or label-ready projects. The result? Polished, powerful, and radio-ready tracks that elevate your artistry.
Section 2: Budget, Time, and Involvement
When choosing the right music producer, your budget, timeline, and level of involvement are major factors to consider. Not all producers — or artists — operate in the same way.
Budget Matters
Lower-tier producers can be more affordable, but the quality, consistency, and collaborative depth may vary. If you’re simply looking for a demo or a rough cut to share with friends, this might be enough. However, if you’re aiming for a professionally released track — the kind of song that holds up next to mainstream releases — you’re going to need the investment and experience that a high-end producer provides. At Moreish Studios, our pricing reflects the quality and care we put into every project, ensuring you’re getting the most out of your music.
Time Is a Resource
Some producers work quickly, especially those with minimal equipment or collaborators. On the other hand, a premium production process — like what we offer at Moreish Studios — involves coordination, creativity, and collaboration. Booking studio time, scheduling musicians, perfecting mixes, and adding those finishing touches take time. If you’re on a tight deadline, this is something to factor in. That said, we are always transparent with our timelines and can help plan your project to suit your goals and budget.
Your Role in the Process
How much you’ve already developed your song will heavily influence what kind of producer you need. If you’ve written and arranged the track, a high-end producer can elevate it with expert mixing, live instrumentation, and arrangement tweaks. But if you’re starting with just lyrics or a rough idea, more time (and budget) will be needed to co-write, arrange, and build the track from scratch. At Moreish Studios, we’re happy to collaborate with artists at all stages — from initial concepts to fully fleshed-out productions.
Section 3: Think About Your Influences and What You’re Trying to Achieve
Before diving into production, take a step back and ask yourself: what kind of music are you trying to make? Who are your influences, and what does your ideal end result sound like?
Do Your Research
Listen to your favourite artists and identify what draws you to their sound. Is it the clarity of the vocals? The richness of the instrumentation? The vibe of the overall production? Once you know what you’re aiming for, finding the right music producer becomes easier. Reach out to professionals, listen to their past work, and don’t hesitate to ask questions.
