Прочитал. А вот тут: In the music industry, a record producer (or music producer) has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the performers, and supervising the recording,
mixing and mastering processes не подразумевается, что продюссер НАХОДИТ людей для этого процесса?? Может стоит перечитать историю The Beatles??
Чем там у них первый продюссер занимался??

Я вижу, ты прочитал невнимательно. Еще раз (выделяю
ЖИРНЫМ те моменты, о которых я говорил):
"
Evolution of the role of the producerPrior to the 1950s, the various stages of the recording and marketing process had been carried out by different professionals within the industry -- A&R managers found potential new artists and signed them to their labels; professional songwriters created new material; publishing agents sold these songs to the A&R people; staff engineers carried out the task of making the recordings in company-owned studios.
Freed from this traditional system by the advent of independent commercial studios, the new generation of entrepreneurial producers -- many of whom were former record company employees themselves -- were able to create and occupy a new stratum in the industry, taking on a more direct and complex role in the musical process. This development in music was mirrored in the TV industry by the concurrent development of videotape recording and the consequent emergence of independent TV production companies like Desilu, established by '50s TV superstars Lucille Ball and her then husband Desi Arnaz Jr.
These producers now typically carried out most or all of these various tasks themselves, including selecting and arranging songs, overseeing sessions (and often engineering the recordings) and even writing the material (or at least claiming songwriting credits). Independent music production companies rapidly gained a significant foothold in popular music and soon became the main intermediary between artist and record label, signing new artists to production contracts, producing the recordings and then licensing the finished product to record labels for pressing, promotion and sale. (This was a novel innovation in the popular music field, although a broadly similar system had long been in place in many countries for the production of content for broadcast radio.) The classic example of this transition is renowned British producer George Martin, who worked as a staff producer and A&R manager at EMI for many years, before branching out on his own and becoming a highly successful independent producer.
As a result of these changes, record producers began to exert a strong influence, not only on individual careers, but on the course of popular music. Other notable past and present independent producers include Don Kirshner (The Monkees), Mickie Most (one of the most successful of all time), Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex), pioneering Australian producer Ted Albert (The Easybeats) and, more recently, American producer and label owner Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys) and Hiphop mogul Dr Dre (N.W.A), (Snoop Doggy Dogg).
Realising the potential for creating recordings that could match their musical vision, many successful recording artists have become producers in their own right. Examples are Nile Rodgers, Jeff Lynne, Brian Wilson and Brian Eno.
Some producers also became de facto recording artists, often creating records with anonymous studio musicians and releasing them under a pseudonym. Examples of this phenomenon include the records by fictional groups The Archies and Josie & The Pussycats, produced by Don Kirshner and Danny Jansen respectively, who were contracted by TV production companies to produce these records to promote the animated children's TV series of the same name.
Producers and modern recording technologyIn modern hip hop music, the producer is generally always expected to fulfill the roles of music composer and arranger in addition to the traditional duties of record production: hip hop producers usually create instrumental tracks (or "beats") on their own, and allow artists they work with to select a beat to record over from their collection. Some mainstream hip hop producers, including Dr. Dre, Kanye West, among others produce their recordings the traditional way, by supervising a team of musicians.
In modern electronic music (not to be confused with "electronica" music, but any music created using electronic equipment, which can include rap and r&b, as well as the many different categories of dance music and new age),
the producer is often the only person involved in the creation of a musical recording, and is responsible for both writing, performing, recording and arranging the material. The term "producer" is nearly synonymous with "musician" in this field. This change has been partly due to the increase of inexpensive yet powerful music production software, which allows for entire tracks to be composed, arranged and recorded at home on a PC or laptop, allowing the traditional roles of a team of people can all be performed by one individual.Применительно к итало, евро, евробиту и synthesizer dance именно продюсер определяет характер звучания трека.
Я могу привести множество примеров, когда по продюсеру можно легко определить, какая будет музыка, даже, если авторы разных треков разные, а продюсер один. Неужели тебе такая ситуация незнакома?
