Do The Music Industry Needs Super Music Producers Anymore ?

By Sabrina Perrault


At the beginning of 2000's, the music business, specifically the communities of hiphop and also rnb, observed the arising of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What is a "super producer"? So, the better explanation of their difference with a "simple" producer would certainly take on the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those famous models as well as everyone else and you can see all of them on almost all the catwalks. In short: safe values.

This was the very same thing in the music business: there have been "big" producers, safe values, that directed all of the the projects and were requested by the most well known singers or rappers. It has been really safer for records company to work with a prestigious music producer other than a newbie. The recognized one produced a copious of successful singles, in theory. Simply because at this time in most cases big producers sold cd.

However, the music business, since the start of the decade has changed. To start with, many people don't actually go shopping cd now.

Consequently the record companies invest much less budget for a project. And without a doubt, record labels are no longer ready to spend between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the situation in the time of the golden times of music producers. The disks do not sell and worldwide web grows. To do something about illegitimate downloading of their artists, record companies create or merge with statutory download tools and try to force their visibility on this internet scene, that has been escaping their control for such a long time.

But the increasing use of the internet has additionally has permitted the surfacing of lots of unknown producers as good as, if not more advantageous than, "Super Producers".

Those producers have focused on the evolution of the Internet, that has facilitated them to sell their beats online. Letting them to connect and also work with singers or rappers on any local scale as well as a world one. A producer from Canada is now able to promote beats to any one in Japan. It may be now more efficient for them to get a solid repute with a career. For the artists, this makes a vast difference! They are able to buy beats online from home for their album, EP or perhaps mixtape for affordable prices; faraway from those practiced by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a particular awareness of this modern business. They buy beats online as well. And most recently we can notice that a few of these web producers are receiving hired by majors.

The great era of super producers like the age of super model disappears progressively, giving option to this modern business led by producers who, generally, do not have anything to envy to the "super producers".
