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.

My definition of a producer is 'the man with the dream.'
As a producer, you're pretty much creating a body of work that an artist has to stand behind.
I don't think of myself as a producer. In television, it's part of the business - if you progress and become successful as a writer, you're called a writer-producer. What that means is that you have a lot of say in casting and behind-the-scenes stuff. But I'm just a writer.
I'm not a producer and I don't even know the places my producer goes to, thankfully.
There are a lot of producers who basically have their sound, and if the artist works with them, you almost know what the record's going to sound like before it comes out.
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.
You know, what a producer does is one of the great mysteries in life, so anyone can be one.
A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service.
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.
The first record we put out on Fueled by Ramon, 'The Papercut Chronicles,' we had no idea what the term 'producer' meant. It was just us writing songs, and we are trying to go back to that - singing in a room and vibing off each other.
