These are *Programmers* NOT Record Producers. Making beats alone doesn't neccesary make you a Producer. Two entirely different roles! Think of *Dr. Dre* and *Quincy Jones.* A Producer is like a director in a movie basically that controls the recording sessions. To be a Producer, you need to understand the beginning and the end, arranging the vocals, collaborating with the Vocalist, Engineer and Musicians, monitoring the situations to make sure the the mix is sounding right and all the balances are there, coaching the Artist making sure they are delivering the right engery performances, making sure that that enessence isn't lost. Its basically bringing a song togther as a finished product. It takes having a great ear to be a Producer and knowing how to get a song to the next level. Some Producer's are hands on in the Songwriting and Arranging process while some are completely hands off. *Sean Diddy Combs* is a hands off Record Producer as he's not necessary the guy that program but knows how to get a great Vocal performance out of an Artist and bring a song to the finish line. He's that dude that sits behind the mixing board calling the shots talking through a talk back mic. *Dr. Dre, Teddy Reily, Rodney Jerkins, Scott Storch, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams* are hands on Producer's that wears more than one hat in the studio. Basically it combines the classic record producer role as the director and an accompanied Programmer, Musician, Writer, Arranger. They are reffered to as *Producer / Songwriter's.* They don't just sit around on their asses all day and just program beats, they produce the record in the studio with the Artist that sees it all the way to the final mix stage as a complete song.

+Eman 08 You spoke so well, intelligently, i am an aspiring Music producer, i play musical instruments, do u have an idea if producers make a living from their craft, and how much do they make. Thank you.

[@yd5937]

+Eman 08 Thank you very much

[@AnthonySforza]

Ohhhh man, the lack of distinction brought up in your initial comment has lead to a LOT of confusion in the pursuit of such a profession. Case in point, I was talking with a band the other night about possibly doing their album and had to explain that no, I'm not going to be making beats or anything, nor will I be running the console... sure, I may contribute a bit to those things, but that's not what my job would be. Then having to actually justify me being there because everything they thought a producer did just went out the window and it just seemed like I was going to be some guy just standing around the studio doing nothing. Essentially, I told them that if the album was a movie, I'd be the director... then actually broke it down to them what it is an actual producer does and used some real world examples. Now they're mulling it over as a band if it's worth having another guy in there, when the studio owner/engineer offered to do all of that for them. Jaja, I know what that means, but I figured they could learn what that means on their own, lest I sound overly confrontational or something.

[@EddyCutz]

Can you OUTSONG him? - lol genius

[@eddiecarbajal6454]

yea but no one cares about music anymore they just wana see niki mnaje culo n lil waynes n drake the wheel chair guy. its all bs now n days anyway wack flaka n shit like that those aint song no more.

[@EddyCutz]

Eddie Carbajal yea it's a damn shame ain't it? I remember when people used to actually LISTEN to the verses and "Hip Hop" wasn't ONLY about the beat.

[@boonhouse]

Damn!!! Toomp just gave me some inspiration.

[@lorieann1386]

That's what I've been wanting to do but I don't know how, when nor where to start. I don't even have those instruments they're using. :( #PoorProblems :s :D

That dial tone beat was fresh as fuck

[@andredickerson5800]

when he was throwing those numbers around.. he was talking about thousands?

[@litlesnoopy]

T.I.P. Furl Yes, Drumma Boy is talking in thousands. Artists need to bring no less than $30k to the table for a producer like him. Each beat.

[@litlesnoopy]

+Christian “GetPoopStuffed” Sanders I agree. Starting out producers can't command figures like that. I'm starting and still working on hitting those first hundreds lol

[@SEARCHBEATS]

[@kodokanshiai2143]

Can someone help me. I am very musically inclined I play guitar ,bass,keys,harmonica and trumpet. I listen to every type of music. Definetly including hip hop. I was trying to figure out what equipment I should get to start producing/making my own beats. I have a laptop I know that helps for recording but I don't know what soundboards/mixers to get. Thanks in advance.

[@nyckillaheat]

if you have a mac / pc try reason or logic x

[@nyckillaheat]

I would go to guitar center bc they help big time when it comes to mixers the right people can help you in that department

[@AL3CMUSIC]

Joey Sewell get a midi keyboard and logic pro x man

[@kodokanshiai2143]

[@MoeFromBarr9]

Thanks bruh

[@Ronda_6]

I'm 16, anyone have a suggestion of where I should start producing? I have family members that are involved with producing music but I don't really have an idea of where to start.

[@dogfoodlidmusic6609]

+isaiah r download a daw and get a midi controller and start from there!

[@digital_cratez9116]

+isaiah r The kitchen is a good place to start...you can cook up some hot shit in there

[@aakka-p]

just start playing, just for fun.

[@aakka-p]

***** why a lawyer? and why "find the right contacts" is mentioned twice?

[@aakka-p]

***** oh, i'm sorry, i didn't realize that but what you are saying makes sense now. i'm just wondering is the copyright strikes becoming a issue for young music producers nowadays?

[@everydayapeso]

That Dj Toomp beat was fucking crazy, that man is a legend!

[@eisv]

What about sound designers?

[@AlphaGiraffe420]

eisv what about em?

[@oxiplasty]

I hope that big speaker is magnetically shielded. ^^
