Still, a big problem that doesn't get talked about enough is how a group of people will write the songs from the inception to demo then present it to producers/singers who make more in the end. Is it supposed to be someone working on a song from the ground up? Or is it someone who comes in at the last minute to say 'yes that sounds good'? Maybe it's whatever you want to call someone who an artist chooses as someone worth working with? He doesn't craft songs or anything, he just lets techies do the work while he passes/vetos different takes.īut really, producer is such a general title that who knows what the fuck it's supposed to mean anymore. Then I've heard that Rick Rubin, who has basically worked with everyone and looks like a hobo, that he's only a vocal producer.

That he needs other producers well versed in the mechanics of making music to do it for him. What first comes to mind is Butch Walker, the guy who has done stuff for Avril Lavigne like 'My Happy Ending' and other works, implies in his book 'Drinking With Strangers' that Max Martin doesn't even know how to program music.

I've heard this is a common thing in music when a producer becomes a 'celeb' or well-known producer in the industry.
