I think there is some contradiction in this article. Because from what I just read, a music producer should be both a musical virtuoso and technically savvy, while still being able to do their job clearly. Just so you understand, I'm the kind of person who still googles different articles and any information about music theory https://faqaudio.com/c/music-theory/17 like styles, chords, some instruments, etc. I don't aspire to be a music producer. Those people are geniuses to me.
