Technical Guidelines For Producers And Engineers

Although the music industry's transition from analog to digital has increased convenience and creative choices, it has also presented new challenges and problems. This fact has prompted members of the P&E Wing to pool their expertise and collaborate in volunteer committee groups that address some of these problems and offer solutions.

The guidelines linked below are the result of those collaborations. These papers may be printed and shared for educational and non-commercial purposes. If you have comments regarding these documents please e-mail us at: [email protected]
