Technical Guidelines for Producers and Engineers
Although in many ways the music industry’s transition from an analog to a digital world has increased convenience and creative choices, it has also presented new challenges and problems for those working in the field. This fact has prompted many members of the P&E Wing to collaborate in volunteer committee groups to address these problems and provide solutions.
The documents found at the links below are the result of those collaborations. If you have comments regarding these documents please email us at: p&ewinginfo@grammy.com.
