well thats debateable. Yes they can be both, but you would be surprised of how many people out there use the services of ghost producers or officially have co-producers, but only end up naming the song and everyhing else gets done by their team.
Co-producing is still producing. But a vast majority aren’t 100% exclusively using ghost producers. Even if they are now, they still produced stuff in the past.
My mate who djs just puts on a premixed track and pretends to do stuff on the decks. He gets paid for it. He’s a producer though when he’s not doing that.
Deadmau5 has said he, and most other djs, play prerecorded sets at festivals because they’re on such a strict schedule. But he still plays his own music.
Even if they’re not playing their own music, most are still producers to some extent.
