The executive producer, on the other hand, enables the recording project through entrepreneurship, and an audio engineer operates the technology. Varying by project, the producer may or may not choose all of the artists. If employing only synthesized or sampled instrumentation, the producer may be the sole artist. Conversely, some artists d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
