Okay, yes, I'm staying late at work again. But, I'm being more than just productive. You see, while I troubleshoot a faculty PC on my right, on my left I'm working on a new mix CD...and that leads me to a question: Is there a job in the music buisness for a guy who arranges the tracks and layout of an album in terms of transitions, how the album flows from one end to the other, etx? As I've noticed my favorite part of making my various mixes (aside from listening to them) is laying things out and arranging. Seeing just how perfectly I can set one track into the next. How I can tweak the sound here and there. And just a touch of finesse on the ending.

Does someone do that professionally, or is that left to the artist? Because if it's something I could do for a living, even if I'm probably totally unqualified, I'd love to try.

Such a person is typically considered a producer. Yes, this is a viable job, though there's more to it than that.

I suggest you get ahold of ProTools if you're really into that kind of thing and play around with it. It's an industry standard, and lesser versions are given away free over the Internet.

You can get it here.
