| Aug 24, 2015 at 21:50 | comment | added | NPN328 | @HariKaramSingh From this we can conclude that "producer" is a very vague concept, so it might be a good idea to avoid it. | |
| Aug 24, 2015 at 14:09 | comment | added | Hari Honor | I know of people who call themselves "producer" who have spent days on the sound of their kick/snare combo or their synth. | |
| Aug 24, 2015 at 14:04 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | Record Producer (Wikipedia). Yes, they do have an impact on the sound, but they work more in line with defining the musical sound and working with the musician. They are "more cowbell" more so than "how do I get the cowbell to sound just right". Is there some crossover and some that take on multiple roles, sure, absolutely, but they are really working in both capacities then. The key distinction is that they are making both musical and sound decisions. We actively avoid musical decisions here. | |
| Aug 24, 2015 at 13:48 | comment | added | Hari Honor | The term "Producer", at least in the electronic music realm, became more in the realm of composer/mix engineer/sound artist. E.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_van_Dyk These people are definitely concerned with nearly all of the techniques listed in JCPedroza answer and as I've said before there is a lot of them online. | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | I'd also add that I don't think record producers are on topic here. Producers are more the business and musical side than the sound side. It is more music and less engineering. This site (as I understand it anyway) is primarily concerned with the sound engineers side of things. We may be able to handle a producer's question if the are acting in or near an engineers role, but most producer questions would fall outside of scope. | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 14:33 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | Half of the community is sound designers and probably another quarter is video sound. If anything, music is more of a minority of the top members anyway. | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 14:05 | comment | added | Hari Honor | Also what percentage of users do you think are "sound artists" who wouldn't relate to "music"? I would suggest that it might be quite small and that those people would be used to looking through online "music" forums for answers. | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 14:01 | comment | added | Hari Honor | I understand but music producers wouldn't go to "Sound Design" to ask a question about a DAW. Is the intention of the forum to include QA about DAW particulars or is it more a theory-type site? | |
| Aug 23, 2015 at 13:58 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | Music makers would completely abandon sound design or any non music production. This is not a music only qa. I don't think music in the title makes sense given the scope of the site. | |
