Abstract
The paper studies popular music as a production process and delineates the varieties of its social organization. It explores the problems endemic to the collaborative nature of the production process and examines in detail the job experiences of one collaborator in particular, the sound mixer, during a period when craft activities were being transformed into artistic activities.Keywords
