Abstract
Music production involves complex and highly technical work that has drawn significant sociological interest. However, many studies overlook how producers practically accomplish this work. In this chapter, we use the example of setting up a digital audio workstation (DAW) for the pre-mix of a rhythm and blues album to examine how producers reason about and carry out what we call the production calculus. We then reflect on the lived work of production, its moral order, and the ways producers solve the production calculus.
