 Record producer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the first half of the 20th century, the record producer's role was comparable to that of a film producer, in that the record producer organised and supervised recording sessions, paid technicians, musicians and arrangers, and sometimes chose material for the artist.
This change was facilitated by the introduction of high-fidelity magnetic tape recording technology in the mid-1950s, which dramatically altered the processes and economics of music recording.
They were carefully constructed to create optimum recording conditions, and were equipped with the latest and best recording equipment and top-quality microphones, as well as electronic amplification gear and musical instruments.

 Record Producer Deals
Record One royalties means that record producers are paid for all records sold starting with the first record.
That is, the record producer is primarily responsible for managing the creative process by screening and selecting songs for the artist(s) to record, getting just the right vocal performance and deciding the musical arrangements.
The role of a record producer in the creation of a recording is similar to that of a movie director to a motion picture.

 The Record Producer as Architect
A sound recording can be used by the listener to either create a virtual space or enhance an existing (real) one.
The modern sound recording is an art form in its own right, fundamentally different from mere musical "compositions" written on paper or performed live from scores.
The recording studio gives producers access to a sonic palette infinitely larger than the simple sets of notes available to previous generations of composers and musicians.

In the first part of the 20th century, the record producer's role resembled that of a film producer, in that the record producer supervised recording sessions, paid technicians, musicians and arrangers, and sometimes chose material for the artist.
In the music industry, "record producer" designates a person responsible for completing a master recording so that it is fit for release.
Through it all, record producers have had a strong influence, not only on individual careers, but on the course of popular music.

 Music Technology Handouts: Record Producer
A music record producer's role is to organise the several elements that need to be combined in order to bring a music recording session to a successful conclusion.
A producer will need an 'ear' for a good tune and be able to combine musical ingredients so that the recording stands out from similar current recordings.
Occasionally hit recordings have been created entirely on such equipment but generally a producer will use a home studio to give tangible form to ideas which can then be 'sold' to a record company.

 HOW TO BECOME A RECORD PRODUCER
I think the best way to discover exactly how a record producer earns a living is to look back in history to a stage where a recording was seen as a live performance captured on vinyl, rather than the studio constructions that are now the norm.
The project could be a band in which the producer takes the roles of songwriter and musician, with a front man or woman to handle the vocals and provide a focus for the marketing machine to work on.
The freelance producer will be paid by the record company (who will get that money back from the band's share of the eventual profits), and he is then free to go on to work for another record company.

 HOW TO BECOME A RECORD PRODUCER
With a solo artist who is not a songwriter, the producer may have such a degree of control that he is choosing all of the songs and merely acknowledging the singer's preferences.
A producer must be able to recognise the presence or absence of potential in a band or a song from a very rough recording.
The natural habitat of the record producer is often assumed to be the recording studio, for obvious reasons.
