Job Description
A Vocal Producer at Career.zycto represents the pinnacle of audio artistry and collaborative spirit within our partner studios. This full-time role places you at the heart of the music creation process, where you will be instrumental in shaping the sonic identity of various artists across diverse genres. Your expertise will guide vocalists through every stage of recording, from initial concept and performance coaching to advanced editing, tuning, and effects application. We are seeking a creative visionary with a keen ear for detail, a deep understanding of vocal physiology, and an intuitive ability to draw out the most compelling performances.
You will be responsible for creating an encouraging and productive studio atmosphere, leveraging state-of-the-art recording equipment and software to capture pristine vocal takes. This isn’t just about technical proficiency; it’s about being an artistic confidante, a motivator, and a sound architect. You’ll collaborate closely with recording engineers, mixing engineers, and artists themselves, ensuring that the vocal tracks are not only technically flawless but also emotionally resonant and perfectly aligned with the overall musical vision. From meticulous comping of takes to the strategic application of autotune (or lack thereof), your decisions will directly impact the final product’s impact and commercial viability.
Successful candidates will demonstrate a comprehensive command of digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, or Ableton Live, alongside a profound knowledge of vocal effects processing, microphone techniques, and signal flow. Furthermore, a proven track record of working with diverse vocal styles, from pop and R&B to rock and electronic music, is highly valued. This role offers an unparalleled opportunity to contribute significantly to groundbreaking projects, working alongside industry-leading professionals and emerging talents. If you possess an unwavering passion for vocal excellence and the technical acumen to bring artistic visions to life, we invite you to join our dynamic team and make your mark on the soundscape of tomorrow. We offer a supportive environment that champions innovation and personal growth, encouraging continuous learning and the exploration of new sonic frontiers.
