Music Producers : The Beginning Of A New Era

By Steve Lincker


At the beginning of 2000's, the music business, notably the communities of hiphop and also rnb, saw the coming up of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for leaders: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or The Neptunes.

What precisely is a "super producer"? Okay, the finest description of their difference with a "simple" producer will certainly take on the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, just like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know those popular models as well as everybody else and you can see all of them on almost all the catwalks. In simple terms: safe values.

That was the very same thing in the music industry: there were "big" producers, safe values, that driven completely the projects and also were demanded by the most popular singers or rappers. It was always more safe for records label to get a well known music producer by comparison with a novice. The notorious one furnished a multitude of excellent singles, in theory. For the simple reason that at this time usually big names sold cd.

But, the music business, since the start of the decade has totally changed. First, many people don't actually pay disc nowadays.

For this reason the record companies give way less money for a project. And not surprisingly, record labels will no longer be wishing to put in between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the situation through the golden time of music producers. The disks tend to not sell and the internet grows. To surmount not legal downloading of their artists, record companies create or merge with statutory download technologies and hope to impose their presence in this online world, that has been getting out of their control for way too long.

But the rise up of the internet has has permitted the ascent of many of anonymous producers as good as, if not a lot better than, "Super Producers".

These valuable producers have paying attention to the growth of the Web, which has aided them to sell their beats online. Which allows them to contact and also work with singers or rappers on any local scale as well as a global one. A producer from Canada can promote beats to a person in Japan. It truly is now less difficult for them to gain a pretty good recognition and have a career. For the artists, this makes an immense difference! They are able to buy beats online at home for their album, EP or perhaps mixtape for reasonable prices; away from those applied by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a specific awareness of this new sector. They buy beats online as well. And recently we can easily notice that a few web producers are receiving hired by majors.

The great age of super producers like the time period of super mannequin fades away little by little, giving way to this brand new business driven by producers who, generally, have practically nothing to envy to the "super producers".
