A producer is someone with both the technical knowledge and people skills to help another artist create a record—this is done by both facilitating and directing the recording process while also providing various forms of feedback, mentorship and guidance to the artist.

A beatmaker makes tracks primarily for rap artists to rap over—they’ll work with a rapper or singer to create the backing track for the artist to sing over.

The time it takes to start and complete a job will vary depending on the kind of services you need and the agreed-upon timeline when hiring a pro. If you’re interested in hiring a pro, take a look at their profile and communicate with them about timelines—jobs that can be done in one session remotely, such as mix feedback or recorded performances won’t take as long as more ambitious projects like album production by a ghost producer, for example. Remember, payments are held in escrow, so you won’t pay for a service if it isn’t rendered fully.

Communication is key when working with someone you want to hire on LANDR Network. Be sure to explain your project, goals, needs and desired direction to any professional you approach. Once your pro is clear on your project’s brief and believes themself to be a good fit, keep in touch and be sure to set clear expectations and timelines. In terms of files, you’ll likely need to share stems and recordings of your work and potentially your entire DAW project.
