Examples
Originally a record producer more or less hired a bunch of professionals to participate in a recording session, the performers and the technicians, and a music director was put in charge. That directly related to a film producer's job.
Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production's sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.
