Or hire one.

What does a producer do? I'm serious, I've never been in
the presence of one at work and have no idea.

The nominated person who makes the final decisions as to what stays, what
goes, what directions to follow, what is good enough, what isn't, what the
end-product should sound like. Can either be the engineer, a band member,
an associate of the band, or an externally hired gun.

It pays to decide who before anything happens.
