Music Producers

A music producer gets ideas for projects, chooses songs and musicians, coaches the artists in the studio, controls recording sessions, and supervises the mixing and mastering of the music. They are also responsible for the budgets, schedules, and negotiations. Being a music producer is more like a career then a job.
