The RecordProducer (also known as "Record Producer" or "Album Producer") is a very important role in the art of music. His tasks include controlling the scheduling of recording projects, training and mentoring new musicians, organizing and scheduling production budgets and resources, overseeing the recording process, mixing, and mastering. In some ways, the music producer is like a director, whose task is to produce and design songs that fit the style of the album as a whole, with the difference that the album producer is rarely in charge of raising funds, but rather is hired by someone who has the money (usually a record publishing company or the artist themselves.) Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, the music producer also began to take on a wider range of creative tasks. Due to the marketization and industrialization of music, the demands on the music producer became progressively more demanding. In addition to being able to make good enough music, the producer also had to have a keen eye for market changes to guide the songwriters, arrangers, recording engineers, and mixers of the recordings, and to adjust the recordings according to the changes in the marketplace to meet the needs of the marketplace. Historical evolution As musicians moved away from the traditional industry system to create commercial music studios, a new generation of entrepreneurial-minded producers - many themselves employees of previous record labels - were able to establish a more direct and complex role in the process of participating in the music production process, with a new, more direct and complex role in the music production process. In parallel with the growth of the record industry, the advent of videotape and the creation of independent television companies, such as Desilu Television and 1950s superstar Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz, led to a simultaneous and dramatic shift in the television industry. Producers often single-handedly performed all duties, including selecting and arranging tracks, overseeing the recording process, and even participating in songwriting. Independent music production companies quickly gained a foothold in the popular music industry, and producers soon became important intermediaries between artists and record labels: they signed new artists, recorded them, and then licensed, published, promoted, and sold them. One of the best examples of this is the well-known British producer George Martin, who, after years as a producer and A&R[2] manager at EMI Records, set up his own company and became a highly successful independent producer. Produced 12 official Beatles albums. As a result of all these changes, the music producer began to exert a strong influence in his solo career and in the pop music world. PhilSpector is an important example. His productions of The Rotes, The Crystals, Darlene Love, The Righteous Brothers, and The Paris Sisters established the boundary between Elvis Presley and The Beatles (1958-1964). 1964). In addition, the WallofSound[3] production technique used by Spector continued to be used beyond his time. Some producers also became "virtual" "recording artists", recording for unknown artists and often releasing under pseudonyms. Examples include the virtual band The Archies, produced by Don Kirshner, and Josie & The Pussycats, released by Danny Jason. Jeff Barry and Andy Kim were also "recording artists" involved with the Flak Choir. In Japan, since the 1960s, such figures have mainly been responsible for the business side of the music industry, such as the handling of money and logistics, and have not been involved much in the creation of the music itself. But the emergence of Tetsuya Komuro in the 1990s revolutionized the role of the music producer in Japan. Tetsuya Komuro's influence on the music industry went from commercial to music-making, and to this day, Japanese music producers still play a major role in the recording industry. Since the music boom of Tetsuya Komuro subsided, Junjun's Saoyasu family has swept through the Japanese music scene, including the cultivation and development of singers, and Junjun's power has surpassed that of Tetsuya Komuro, who is known as the "Godfather of Music", and has become the "Big Three" of producers, including Minsheng Okuda, Takeshi Kobayashi, and Tetsuya Komuro. He has taken over the title of No.1 music producer in the Japanese music industry from the "big three" of Minsheng Okuda, Takeshi Kobayashi, and Tetsuya Komuro. Career Requirements Sharp familiarity with the expressive ability of various instruments and instrumental methods, and a good sense of musicality (grasp of the musical style portrayed by the rhythm of the music). Good command of compositional styles and the optimal combination of musical passages and structures, and the ability to analyze music theory, basic harmony, and famous Chinese and foreign compositions. Have good compositional and orchestration (arranging) skills. Ability to play one or more musical instruments. Have an accurate grasp of market demand and orientation. Have a good grasp of the style of the singer and the style of the work. Occupational status In China, the mention of music producers, or a very mysterious role, many people are not clear about their work and functions, due to the unbalanced development of China's music region, in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the division of labor of musicians is more detailed, the mainland, the development of recent years, the growth of a number of mid-level producers, the scope of the work of the music producer is broadly defined, in general, is the amount of people-oriented, market orientation, the Songwriting, arranging, recording, mixing, mastering, and then packaging singers, market launch, these jobs can be completed by the producer, or according to the work of the specialties subdivided down, but in general, the producer should have a solid musical background, and have a good standard of music production, and good cultural literacy, as well as the music of the prospective, here, arranging is also referred to as music production, but arrangers are not the same as music producers, but music producers will certainly be a good producer, but the music producer will be a good producer. Here, arrangement is also called music production, but arranger is not the same as music producer, but the music producer must be very accurate arrangement, in general, "music producer" started in the music production work, but the broad purpose is to win the art and business ****. Due to the rapid development of the mainland economy, the old music management system is less and less adapted to the needs of the times, the arrival of the information digitalization era, the Internet music is more and more ubiquitous, vulgarity, low production quality, low investment, but also one of the main problems plaguing the music producers, due to the rapid development of the world's music, music producers are also looking for a way to meet the development of Chinese characteristics of the road of music, "Chinese style" is the beginning of music production. The "Chinese style" has gone out of the country and to the world, Chinese musicians are also trying their best to catch up with the footsteps of the world music development, innovation and development is the musicians **** the same exploration of the problem. Due to the downturn of the mainland music industry, many music producers also produce themselves, switching between behind the scenes and in front of the stage, which is no longer a new thing. But the role of the producer has become precarious. In recent years, China's pop music market has only emphasized reaping, regardless of sowing. First, the pallor of original power has led to a break in talent and a queering of works; second, round after round of talent shows have reduced music to entertainment, confusing young people's view of success with the public's aesthetics. The exploration and development of originality is either stagnant, or lack of novelty with fear and trembling. In the deformed state of mainland TV shows dominating the music benchmark, in the high-density time slot to quickly catch the audience's eyeballs, and gain the hearts of advertisers, the cover of the old songs is the safest and least costly path they can choose, then this is a kind of "back to the pot of meat" type of obliteration of the original music and the music producer industry. "The music industry is rooted in songwriters. The roots of the music industry are the works created by songwriters, but sadly they are at the bottom of the whole industry chain. With the development of digital music, traditional music producers who rely on CDs to survive are finding it more and more difficult to do so, and with the failure of copyright management in the Mainland, music producers are not in an optimistic living situation, and most of the new generation of music producers are multi-faceted, with more and more producers combining composition, singing, production and performance, and the trend of China's regional producers moving towards the direction of "independent music producers" is obvious. There is a clear trend for producers in China to develop in the direction of "independent music producers", but in other regions of the world with higher economic levels, where there are already well-established music management systems, there are fewer "independent music producers" compared to those in mainland China, and there is a growing trend to crack down on piracy, improve the copyright management system, set up a standard for copyright profitability, and carry out reforms of the music copyright organization. The fight against piracy, the establishment of a copyright profitability standard, and the reform of music copyright organizations have become the urgent voices of musicians in Greater China for the development of music in Mainland China!
