WHAT DO MUSIC PRODUCERS ACTUALLY DO?

The modern-day music producer has more responsibilities than before. A BIG reason for this is the pace of technology advancement and the power of tools we have access to today. This is why many roles in the music production sphere have combined. For example, a recording engineer (someone who solely focuses on the recording process) might also be handling the production for this song. Another example is a producer who is also the artist (this is the most common) - not only does this person need to understand music production, they also need to have an understanding of social media, growing a following, and all the other tasks an artist has to deal with.
