Q. What's a producer?
A producer is the person responsible for the overall sound of your project. This can include obtaining the proper musicians for your project, material development and all stages of recording and mix-down. That doesn't mean they personally do it all, they're just responsible for it. Great producers have an intangible knack for creating projects that intrigue the public. A good example of a great producer that literally made a band out of almost nothing would be producer George Martin and The Beatles. Without George, the Beatles may well have been just bugs....who knows?

What does it take to be a music producer? Nothing. Everyone says they're a record producer. Music producers that are ACTUALLY WORKING are usually not flashy like what you may see on TV. They are people that have vision, know how to get inside an artist's head, and can make it all come together in the final production.

Most successful producers also have background in performance and have a good working knowledge of the various technical aspects of a high end professional recording studio.

Bottom line: Your producer is responsible for the final product. If it's not a good product, it reflects on the producer.
