The structure of the project is built first by giving a brief history how the sound recording techniques have changed since the availability of commercial music and what these techniques are. Secondly, I have tried to explain what factors have given rise to the need for the production of commercial music and how record producers have become more important and essential than the recording engineers. The main part of the project consists of an outline of what a record producer does, how he/she does it, what techniques and methods he uses to achieve it and what the results of his/her work would be. The final part is a less technical and more music-based part, where I have tried to give examples from the works of different record producers, how their techniques can be varied, and what results can be achieved as a final musical product.
The enclosed DAT includes recordings made by some of the producers mentioned in the project and hopefully will be helpful for the better understanding of some of the aspects.

Drugs did create a new environment for music to develop; they had a significant impact on already creative and talented minds and it is highly probable that without them the best of jazz, rock and dance music would not have emerged. Drugs are seen as a route to new forms of musical expression, but to which extent this is the case cannot be clearly defined by the musicians and researchers.
This essay contains chapters on the influence of drugs in the creation of jazz, psychedelic rock and (Acid) House & dance music, as well as chapters on how drugs have influenced creative artists in other areas of artistic expression, and a brief history of music & drug relationship with the reasons why musicians take drugs.
This essay is not trying to justify any of the drug taking or trying to prove that drugs are necessary to create good and new music, but merely recognises the significance of them for musicians, who create new music.
