It almost seems like each music genre has its own definitions.
So is it just the folks I’m bumpin into, or have definitions changed everywhere? In 2022 what are the official definitions for the terms:
Producer
These terms have very different meanings depending on who you’re talking to and which genre of music they’re into. For example in one major genre of music the Producer is the person who creates a complete musical motif inside a DAW using plugins and VSTs, so that it can be used as the basis for either a rapper, vocalist, or another producer’s musical motif DAW performance. In this genre the idea of record Producer as it was used prior to 2000 is not a thing LOL. And the phrase ‘making a beat’ or ‘cookin a beat’ may or may not involve drums or any other percussion instruments. In some genres the phrase ‘making a beat’ refers to creating a 4,8, or 16 bar motif consisting of 2 to as many as 8 different sounds, instruments or samples. In 2022 beats are usually made completely in a DAW, MPC, Maschine+, or Roland SP404 MkII Does the music industry have official definition of these terms or do we just go with the flow....... |
