I think that if big labels would choose which artists to sign more carefully (check if they understand music, not just play the cliche stuff) instead of just looking at how much money they can make off of them, (mainstream) music would be alot more unique, pure, and emotionally deep. BUT, since it is the music "business" and it does have to do with money.....It´s almost inevitable that the producer over-steps his mark...because if you have talentless money-makers like ke$ha, lady gaga, Amy winehouse, etc(subjective, i know), depending on THEIR RAW TALENT will result in very low sale numbers. Thus, the need for the producer to put his talent behind the pretty face (or ugly face in the case of Winehouse) of the artist. I know i never want to be a producer under a label. If i have to have a normal office job and produce music in my basement for the rest of my life....I prefer that than to give cheap talent a good name and salary. Great article!

The first thing you do when you wake up : monitor the sells, counting the cost, calculating the margin. It's not a bad or good thing, it's how every companies work. The only difference is the raw material you use. Artists are not as stable and reliable as iron for a car maker. I think every artists must be aware of that. There are three ways to react : - refusing to be a mass consumption product, and stop to record in major studio - accepting the game and let the producer to run the rules - being aware of the companies goal, and fighting with the producer to get the album you want. In my opinion, a good producer needs talent to know what sounds better and take the best of the band, but above all, he has to be a good psychologist. Fighting with the band isn't the good way.
