I think I finally get what a music producer is. It's to music what a director and editor are to film production. Just one of those things I never really looked into - was always caught up on the vagueness of the word "producer". Like, movie producers, as I understand it, are more about the marketing and budgeting aspects of a film: although they can interject in the artistic side of things, that's seen as more of an intrusion. At least that's what movies and TV shows about "the biz" tell me, but obviously, that's biased.
