i think producers are hierd by the lable to produce them an album by a certain date, for a price or royalties of the track, its there job to book studio, hire enginers, session players, organize dates and so on.

diffrent producers have diffrent approchs, so some are ex-musiancs who help with creation of music and/or mixing, while others jus stand back an motaviate people.

some of the best producers do multiple genre's, let the artist remain into there own styling and add or touch up when needed...listen 2 Rick Rubin's production on early def jam and his System of A Down recording...listen 2 Dangermouses Gnarls Barkley, then Beck and The Black Keys albums from 2008...good things 2 listen 2 styles from producers from multiple genres..and a producer and an engineer are 2 diffferent things and are in every genre/studio

Yeah i heard when Red Hot Chili Peppers are recording an album, Rick Rubin sits on a couch surrounded by pillows and cushions and just listens to everything, with the occasional "turn that up" or "cut that bit out". Not too bad a job considering how much he gets paid...
