Episode show notes:

Do you know what music producers like Rick Rubin actually do and get paid for?

CBS News just released a 60 minutes piece, featuring Rick Rubin, which caused some pretty wild discussions on the internet. 

Rubin explained his role and said things like

·      "I don't know anything about music"

·      "I can barely play a few instruments"

·      "I don't know how to operate a mixing desk"

Let's discuss this.

On this episode we're answering questions like:
 

·      What do we think about the statements Rick Rubin made there? 

·      Is he just being modest?

·      What does he get paid for if he doesn't know any of these things?

·      Aren't those things exactly what a producer typically does or needs to know?

·      And if you really don't have to know any of these things to be a legendary producer, what is it that a producer actually does?

Let's go!
