As a personal note...
It would be ridicoulus to blame my production abilities, for my lack of superstardum at this point in time. I would like to hire a super producer, to produce my songs, but that´s a personal dream of mine. I´m sure it would take my songs to a different level. Make them more appealing to the general public.. but if I suck, i suck and theres nothing to do about it. |
A good producer would make suggestions as to the writing and structure of the song. Not just bring in expensive gear and sounds to the session...
Maybe suggest you clean up the lyrics here and there, reverse the order of the verses, create a strong hook that was maybe lacking, substitute chords on some parts etc...
That's what I try to do with my clients and on my own songs. I don't know how well I'm doing this yet. Only time will tell...I try to get better at this every day because as I have improved my producing abilities thru the years, I have gotten a bit more successful.
Not even the best songwriters can churn out hit after hit. But thru good recording and production you can get further...that I'm sure of.
