I'm not a fantano fan but what he says isn't uncommon. Sony digital, Chuck English, and justice league been complaining about this for a hot minute
You mean audio engineering? That shyt ain't hard I took that up as my minor in college and dropped it because I could learn more on my own
producers take basic 2 tracks and turn them into fully tracked out songs
it doesn't have to do with engineering or completely producing the beat
it's the little things
making intros, building bridges, knowing what to take out or put in the beat, putting the right features together, taking it to other people to work on it. god damn kanye was shopping around the stronger beat to other producer because he didn't think the drums hit hard enough. that's some real producer shyt.
listen to people talk about kanye and 40 in the studio. they can but don't necessarily have to do much behind the boards but 40 will take a beat from majid jordan and turn it into hold on we're going home
yall are just not understanding what im saying
producers are the architects. as much as dre has been clowned here for not producing there's a reason EVERYONE runs to him. just having him around when your making a track instantly makes that song 10x better. he gonna tell your beat maker to change the 808 snare to this james brown sampled snare. its a little thing but it's major in the grand scheme of a beat.
you'd be a fukking idiot to fukk over a nikka like that. where as beat makers are a dime a dozen. yall talking about tm88, sonny digital, justice league.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. in the way im talking about it they're advanced beat makers.
