User:HibiscusKazeneko/Director relationship type
Description
This describes the person who directed the recording artist, musicians and studio engineers in the production of the work. The director is a person who tells engineers and performers (musicians, vocalists, etc.) when to start and stop their activities during each take. Sometimes a producer, conductor or chorus master will fulfill this role.

Guidelines
Do not confuse this relationship type with the Conductor Relationship Type or Chorus Master Relationship Type. A conductor or chorus master works only with instruments and vocals and conducts the music directly, sometimes inside the recording booth. A recording director only works during studio recording sessions and always works from outside the recording booth.
This relationship type also should NOT be used for directors of musical theatre, film, etc. In the event we ever successfully integrate audiovisual works I (or someone else) will develop a new AR for said purpose.
An important side note: In previous RFCs, some people mentioned a director-like credit relating to visuals, choreography, etc. That is what is commonly referred to as creative direction and requires a different AR.
