Why There Is No More Super Producers ?

By Gwen Sparks


In early 2000's, the music industry, principally the communities of hiphop and rnb, saw the emanation of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or even The Neptunes.

Exactly what is a "super producer"? Okay, the most reliable definition of their difference with a "simple" producer might possibly take the example of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for example Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know those famous fashion models as well as everybody else and you can see all of them on all of the the catwalks. Briefly: safe values.

This became the identical thing in the music sector: there were "big" producers, safe values, that led almost all the projects and also were asked by the most popular singers and also rappers. It has been always much safer for records labels to exploit a widely known music producer as compared with a newbie. The notorious one furnished a diverse of excellent singles, in principle. Considering that at this time commonly big music producers sold discs.

However, the music business, since the beginning of the decade has totally changed. Firstly, consumers don't really decide to buy disc any more.

As a result the record labels offer less and less budget for a project. And not surprisingly, record companies will no longer be ready to put in money between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the scenario in times of the golden time of music producers. The discs not sell and the web grows. To surmount unauthorized downloading of their artists, record companies develop or merge with statutory download tools and make sure to impose their presence in this online place, which has been running from their control for a long time.

But the rise of the web has additionally made possible the ascent of loads of unknown producers as good as, if not quite as good as, "Super Producers".

These producers have targeted on the development of the Internet, that has assisted them to sell their beats online. That allows them to contact and also work with singer on a local scale as well as a global one. A producer from New york is now able to try to sell beats to someone in Japan. It truly is now simple for them to gain an excellent authority to get a career. For the artists, this makes a gigantic difference! They can buy beats online inside their home for their album, EP or mixtape for good prices; definitely not those applied by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a particular awareness of this modern business. They buy beats online as well. And right now we could notice that some of these web producers are getting signed by majors.

The great age of super producers just like the time period of super model fades away progressively, delivering way to this brand new market led by producers who, generally, have next to nothing to envy to the "super producers".
