The person who shapes a recording from idea to finished track: choosing the sound, the arrangement and the performances, and often writing, programming or playing parts. In R&B, hip-hop and electronic music the producer frequently builds the whole instrumental, and is sometimes credited as an artist beside the singer.
The stage of making a record where all the recorded parts are balanced into one finished stereo track: their levels, placement, tone and effects. Mixing comes after recording and before mastering, and is often done by a specialist rather than by the producer.
A new version of a recording made by reworking its parts: changing the beat, harmony, tempo or structure, often by another producer. A remix can turn a ballad into a club track.
Miss Me is a 2019 single by the Viennese R&B singer adaolisa, then billed as Ada, and her producer madL: a deep, catchy song that FM4 heard as fresh and crisp, putting the voice of a strong, independent woman in front.
