Music Industry : Why They Don't Need Super Producers Anymore ?

By Lindsay Major


Early on in the 2000's, the music business, notably the communities of hiphop and also rnb, noticed the visibility of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or even The Neptunes.

What is actually a "super producer"? Well, the best definition of their difference with a "simple" producer would probably take the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, just like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those legendary super-models as well as everyone else and you can see all of them on every the catwalks. To be brief: safe values.

This was the similar thing in the music business: there were "big" producers, risk free, that directed completely the projects and were wanted by the most renowned singers and also rappers. It had been always more safe for records label to exploit a well-known music producer in comparison with a beginner. The recognized producer composed a large number of award winning singles, in principle. For the reason that right at that time big music producers sold cd.

However, the music industry, after the beginning of the decade has totally changed. First, many people don't really shop for disc nowadays.

Consequently the record labels invest lot less budget for a project. And clearly, record companies will no longer be wishing to purchase between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the case at the time of the golden epoch of music producers. The discs do not sell and internet starts to develop. To deal with not approved downloading of their artists, record companies develop or align with with statutory download tools and make sure to enforce their existence on this online world, which has been getting out of their control for so long.

But the rise up of the web has permitted the emergence of plenty of not known producers as good as, if not as good as, "Super Producers".

All these producers have targeted on the progressing of the Internet, which has allowed them to sell their beats online. Enabling them to reach and work with artists on any nearby scale as well as a world one. A producer from Switzerland will now be able to promote beats to some-one in Japan. This is now better for them to gain an excellent rating or have a career. For the artists, this makes an impressive difference! They can buy beats online in their own home for their album, EP or perhaps mixtape for reasonable prices; not really those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a special attention to this new market. They buy beats online too. And most recently we are able to observe that a few of these internet based producers are receiving signed by majors.

The great time period of super producers such as the age of super models goes away gradually, revealing way to this new sector driven by producers who, usually, have not a single thing to envy to the "super producers".
