It isn't so much that I disapprove of the binary as I can't figure out what it is.
Like, which do you prefer more in an article, the plot or the editing? (Well, what about the writing?)
Or which do you prefer more about a movie, the script or the camerawork 'n' editing? (Well, what about the acting? And doesn't the directing have anything to do with the acting?)
I think a lot of time when people on this thread are saying "production" they mean THE RHYTHM and the TIMBRE. Whereas the songwriter might have started with a rhythm and then come up with a melody. And you all are not taking account of the producer going through twelve takes of the song and splicing the vocals together seamlessly. Or the producer hiring the musicians who play on a track. Or the singer being in the room during the mixing and arguing whether the track has enough "bottom." Or millions of other things.
Is the fact that you're using an oboe part of the production?
Is the fact that the singer is male rather than female part of the production? (It's not part of the melody.)
