If you consider "Making Music" being done trough presets and samples then absolutely I agree with you but that is not what I would call a Music Producer. The entire Mastering Process begins at the earliest stage of making music so IMO the entire claim falls right there. Is editing harder than making a movie? It can be extremely hard, even harder than making a movie if you are told it should be a certain way and are then given raw material that is almost unusable.

 

I am not aware If these people used technical collaborators, but I'm sure if you say it, it's true. What I do know is that George Martin has always been called "the fifth Beatles" for his artistic skills behind the mixer

As an old pro mixing and tracking engineer, I wound up playing, producing or arranging many recording projects.

Most of my time spent behind the console next to an auto-locator.

that's me. been long lost to that. just recently starting to learn producing a song by re-producing other artist song and try to mix and master as close as original song.. so far it has taken me switching from studio one to reaper.. just crossed my fingers and hope that im on the right track to overcome this obstacle #mymixsucks #me #itstrue

top tip:
use refference tracks when mixing.

if you want your orange (fruit) to look like a orange, you better compare the right fruit, or you will end up with something not related to the orangefruit

maybe not the best analogy but you get the drift

refference and compare
refference does not mean "copy"

you want to make up simple questions you can ask yourself when reffering details, to make it easyer for you to answer those questions and difining the goals you want to hit.

"is the low end in the same ball park as X?"
"is the vocal sitting simular as x?"
"does the kick, kick like a mule like x?"
"am i close enough to X?"


avoid using words like "good" and "bad" use descriptive words.
