Royce Boss Hogg Lumpkin: Okay, maybe I abandoned my daughter and stole her song, but I'm still the most honorable record producer y'all have ever met!
Emily Robison: Well, he's got us there.
Martie Maguire: Still, in human terms, he's deplorable!

Throughout the 20th century and even into the Turn of the Millennium, recording an album wasn't easy. You and your plucky underdog band had to either get signed to a record label or raise a duffel bag of money to pay for studio time and hire an audio engineer. Then you had to choose a record producer, hope nobody ended up at somebody else's throats by the end of the sessions and prepare to be dicked around by the label executives.

Of course, improvements in recording technology now give you the option to say bollocks to all that and just record stuff at home on your laptop in GarageBand or something (as The KLF predicted in ''The Manual''). However, these improvements haven't overshadowed traditional studios yet.

A record producer is an important figure in the modern recording industry. Music producers wear many hats. These include: controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, hiring session musicians and backup singers, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. The last responsibility shouldn't be confused with the studio engineer, who actually does the recording/mixing/mastering, though there are plenty of producers who do both. In other words, they are a key leader of the recording process.
