Music Production is a craft. The Producer is responsible for delivering high quality, commercially competitive recordings on time and on budget.
The Producer is in charge of the entire process of making records from conception to completion which includes the quality of the music, performance and recording, to the logistical, legal and budgetary aspect of the project.
The Producer has to have an understanding of all aspects of the process including the creative, technical, psychological, logistical and business components of a successful project.
It is the Producer's job to see that every individual involved in the project delivers the right piece at the right time. The Producer wears many hats and is faced with a multitude of issues to deal with on a daily basis throughout the project.
