In the music industry, a record producer has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, gathering the ideas of the project, directing the creativity, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. This has been a major function of producers since the inception of sound recording, but in the latter half of the 20th century producers have also taken on a wider entrepreneurial role. These activities comprise record production. Today, the recording industry have two kinds of producers Executive Producer and Music Producer; they have different roles. While the executive producer has the financial role of the project, the music producer is responsible of the entire music of an album. The music producer could, in some cases, be compared to the film director in that the producer's job is to create, shape and mold a piece of music in accordance with their vision for the album. In the UK, before the rise of the record producer, the A&R Man would oversee the recording session, assuming responsibility for creative decisions relating to the recording.
