In the music industry, a record producer (or music producer) has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. This has been a major function of producers since the inception of sound recording, but in the later half of the 20th century producers also took on a wider entrepreneurial role.
In modern digital music, it is possible for the producer to be the only person involved in the creation of a musical recording. An Independent Music Producer is responsible for writing, performing, recording and arranging the material. (Click here to enter the Independent Music Producer program page)
With the advancement of audio visual technology, an independent music producer can expand on his/her skills and create original composition for visual media. This change has been partially due to the increase of inexpensive yet powerful music production software (such as ProTools, Digital Performer, Logic, Cubase, and REASON), which allows for entire tracks to be composed, arranged and recorded on a single computer, allowing the roles traditionally carried out by a team of people to be performed by one individual. With the advent of portable recording equipment, live album production has become much more cost-effective than in the past. This has resulted in countless live music recordings.
With the advent of the computer web applications like Facebook, You Tube and MySpace, record producers can now serve in very non-traditional roles, using "social networking." They can produce music via the internet by having their clients email .mp3 or .wav files to them. In this way the producer can be located in a different geographic location and still accomplish their goal.
