Guest MBarrett Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm sure this is going to be obvious. But when it says Arr. & Cond. on a record label . . . what does that second abbreviation stand for? ??!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MBarrett Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Having said that I still find it hard to understand how all the different roles in a recording studio interact with each other. e.g. If a producer and an arranger disagreed over something who would take precedence. How big would a group of musicians need to be before you needed a conductor. I remember reading in Raynoma Gordy's biography that she was a trained musician and could write chord charts. Is that a job that would normally be done by an arranger? Presumably a good few musicians just play by ear and wouldn't even be able to read a chord chart anyway. That's without the musicians/group members themselves just starting with an original riff and jamming around until they come up with a semi-finished product. You can tell I've never been in a recording studio! Sometimes I think that with all these complexities and all the artistic temperaments bouncing around it's a miracle that so many brilliant records have ever seen the light of day.
