Something a producer can do

[@JT-km6th]

For anyone in the corporate world, a producer is a project manager/product manager. They COULD be hands-on in some elements, but they don't need to be since others can be.

I can't imagine that. And for him to make music so fast afterwards. That guy is strong.

[@dathunderman4]

The difference is Metro has the respect to be a “coach.” Other producers will actually have to contribute some type of sound to get credit. Metro is on the level of Mustard tho where he can now just arrange shit and be the main producer.

[@Bittamin]

When you engineer you naturally start to produce, combine that with actually making and understand beats and something special can happen, whether that be for yourself as an artist or another artist, the possibilities are endless when you teach yourself the skills.

At the end of the day none of these titles matter. What matters is who owns the publishing.

Metro owns his publishing for his albums. Powerfull producers will put together a various artist compilation or pair up with another artist and make an album where it's published under their name like metro, madlib or dj mustard

a beat maker is the guy in the factory making the workout equipment, the bars, the weights, the machines etc. a producer is the coach showing u the ways to use the equipment, the producer can also be a maker and/or know how its made.

Im a beatmaker producer and artist. In my own studio. I'm goated

[@blaquenguni9249]

A producer who can't make beats is a cheerleader. Every producer should be able to make a beat , just like all the great producers in the 70s and 80s specialised in playing one instrument extremely well. Quincy Jones -Piano Leon Sylvers - Bass Kashif- Moog ,keyboard And many more . Hip Hop sold out a long time ago so I'm not surprised by all this "confusion "

[@leezydagod2507]

A beat maker is the guy who makes beats for money. A producer sometimes makes the beat or hires musicians to play his ideas then along with the right voice(s) gets writers involved and sees a song from inception to finish.

[@Cashcrop91]

@@meetyomaker2396 sound designing is a whole other category bro. I doubt a producer has time to sit around and create actual sounds. I look at a “producer” as the loud nigga in the room saying “aye put that bass note in like this” excep they usually have hella connections or got plugged in at some point. No producer started off “producing” they usually started off as beat makers or DJs and learn to input more creative direction as they gain experience. The real GOAT is the engineer. As a beat maker I’m not ashamed to say the most important piece to creating music would be a dope engineer. Everything you hear touched their hands last. They even tweak the beats or give the artist creative direction, especially during the arrangement phase. The “producer” usually is the one that sits folks down with different talents and usually those artists will brainstorm and create.

Same thing between off the dome and free-styling. People say freestyle and expect off the dome bars. Not understanding that freestyle is what you wrote with no specific theme in mind just writing hot rhymes. Off the top is when you spit with nothing written.

so just work with an artist and give them direction on what you feel the song should be then you can call yourself a producer. lmfao ppl out here arguing over this

[@okayynutty]

Isn’t he describing executive producing tho ?

[@ogenevieve]

Anybody with a sampler and some kits can make a beat, but most of them can't write, come up w/hooks, get vocalists, edit the track, make it "radio friendly," market not only the song but the artist as well and all of that, usually comes together to be his/her unique sound/style/package.

[@jonwifebeaterjones6389]

I agree with the effort a producer puts in but you're underestimating how difficult it can be to actually make good beats besides that not every producer writes or makes hooks or makes it radio Friendly. Especially in hip hoo people write their own shit, make their own hooks and the lables take care of publishing.

[@ogenevieve]

@jon "wife beater" jones true, we all have a diff process. When I started, we barely had any sample time at all. Ppl today don't know how easy they have it. Old drum kits, the 909, tons of vinyl and a big old synth. I miss those days.

[@ogenevieve]

@jon "wife beater" jones oh yeah, radio-friendly only means that the final mix was cued for volume.

[@danfromwhen]

So... What's an engineer's job?

[@avationmusic]

simpler explanation is a metaphor with film producer = director beatmaker = script writer sometimes a director will also write the script, sometimes they act in the film too🤷🏻‍♂️ same here

[@tyrongeorgetown6378]

I like your example but anyone who has any input on the production of a project is a “producer” The cinematographer is a producer cause they creat and “produce the image and flow of the film” The prop department, the musical score directors, the sound guys are all technically producers, film aggregators are producers cause they produce a product to the studios! anyone apart of the creative/marketing process is a producer!!! I simply don’t understand how a “beat maker” which is the bread and butter of music production isn’t consider a producer when he’s literally producing the sound rhythm and tonality of the song!!!

[@brizzle711]

Lmao. It’s the same thing.

[@melonade-Music_Upload]

So the producer is like director of a song? Like a movie director? Hope I understand it right 😅

[@LesPronto]

You got it right. Beat makers are exactly what their title says. I’m a beat maker. I don’t go in the studio with rappers or producers. I’m at home, I’ll make a beat, post it to social media or send it to someone who requested

[@KayoMonei]
