A musical producer does not mix or remix, that’s something dj’s do, but successful dj’s can also be producers.
A producer is in charge of supervising recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes.
They are people that have vision, know how to get inside an artist’s head, and can make it all come together in the final production.
Most successful producers also have background in performance and have a good working knowledge of the various technical aspects of a high end professional recording studio.
Start attending every performance you can. Successful producers are not only makers of entertainment, they are consumers. Attending lots of performances will help you separate real talent from weekend warriors, and will show you which bands and performers consistently bring out large local crowds. You’ll start to notice the attributes of artists with real potential, which is going to help you down the line when you start “breaking out” new talent.
Start learning about the recording studios in your area. A simple call to a studio will probably get you a chance to attend a recording session. This will help you learn the recording process. If a professional producer is at the session, watch how he/she interacts with the talent and the engineer to help make everyone happy while achieving the desired result. Being a producer usually involves mediating between the talent and the technicians. Good producers get results by making everyone comfortable so that they can do their best.
