Roles in the music industries.

Producer: The role of the producer in the music buisness is to primarily work with the artist,
This will range from working with different artists and record labels to supervise or have
an overview for the whole recording process.

The producer should be someone who has had the full expierience of beinjg a musician, ranging from performing at places like glastonbury etc. To having a wide range of musical knowledge, (so music theory and i suppose production theory.

Music editor: The role of a music editior is not the easiest job, the role of the music editor is to synchronizeboth video and music together. In terms of gaming the music editor provides a backup piece of music which i think is known as a score to stand in as the soundtrack as the piece of music which is being created for the game or level is not ready yet.

In terms of what is needed for the role or job of a music editor, is that they must have great musical sensitivity and an awareness of when the music for either games, adverts, movies or television programes can make or break in terms of whether the scene is emotional or dramatic etc.

Health and safety regarding Ox-jam:

Food and drink: In any performance, soundcheck and rehearsal, food and drink is a NO GO. This is due to the fact there is electrical equipment everywhere ranging from the microphones, amps and stage-boxes. So lets look at the fact that when you have a drink in the presence of electrical equipment, you are more likely to have more electric volts going through you than the national grid. And in terms of eating food in the presence of electrical or musical equipment, even though you wont get electrified you are leaving greasy residue on instruments and gear, not a pretty sight for any performers.

Hearing problems: One of the most common problems when being in the music business whether it is being a performer, roadie or a music technician. You are most likely to suffer from a condition known as Tinnitus, now tinnitus is a medical condition which affects the hearing. Musicians tend to develop Tinnitus because they are exposed such excessive loud noise causing symptoms or sounds such as buzzing, whistling and humming.
