Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production's sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.
Who you are as a performer is one thing, but when you're making records, you're dealing with musicians' tastes, their goals, their wants, their needs, everyone's individual pride.
Every record, you've got more experiences to draw on as a writer and a musician.
A producer gets the whole vision done from top to bottom, to making the record to having the record delivered to the world. That's a producer.
I'm just a musician and a record producer.
I consider myself more of a producer and a musician than a DJ.
When you're an artist, you can only do your own stuff. Even if you only write for other people, you're really more focused on yourself. So while everybody's out touring, I'm working on records.
Even though I have often recorded alone, I still feel the best music is made by musicians playing off each other.
While I used to make my living principally as a record producer, as time went on, I had to depend more and more on my live performances because of the evolution of the record industry, which has de-emphasized what made it possible to make a living.
Originally a record producer more or less hired a bunch of professionals to participate in a recording session, the performers and the technicians, and a music director was put in charge. That directly related to a film producer's job.
