nope...
this is what I think and have been thinking since I started making MUSIC in the early 90s.
A beat maker can make a beat and blah blah blah, but a producer can make the track, mix it and still controll the maestro.
You feel me?
Maybe im not explaining it the way I think it.
That is the close as I can for now.

But, I think the producers make the beats as well.
- Madlib
- Premier
- ETC
They are all labeled prodcuers, but they make beats as well???

what ambush meant was if u are a producer u are also a beatmaker.. but if you are a beatmaker you aren't always a producer.. producing is knowing how to do the whole process to make a final product.. which means the person has to be able to make the music, then turn into a engineer and mix and master it...

very good question.
might spark some debate...
to me, naw. a producers job is much more then just composing the music

Butcher,Aiightthen and Smoove all make good points.I think you have to create and mix to be a producer not just make beats.

3 words: Beatmaker , Engineer, Producer...
A producer is a Beatmaker and an engineer.

How is the executive producer different from the producers of the songs? Like on the Black Album Jay Z and Dame Dash where the executive producers but they didn't produce any of the songs.

you dont need to make beats to be a executive producer .... what a executive producer does is make sure the whole album is perfect ... p diddy is a producer and he dont make beats he has beat makers under him that he takes their beats and puts his name on them

An executive producer be it music related or film usually refers to financial backing, eg Danny de Vito was exec producer on Pulp Fiction which meant he basically liked the script & bowled in with a load of cash.
Beatmaker is a producer, I cannot see a difference even if ya using spoons on ya thigh ya PRODUCING beats.
Really cannot see the difference, theres only different levels of producers i.e theres me and theres P Diddy.. ones just making a shed load more cash than the other

Producer - makes things. Such THINGS can also be BEATS.
Beat maker - MAKES beats.
They both theoretically, and in reality, MAKE BEATS
so what's the problem and why the confusion?
