They actually farm the mixes off to independent mixers who do the work. Then test the results. If your mixes rate well, you move up the labels artist hierarchy and will be offered more prominent artists to mix in future. So it is kind of a natural selection of mixing.
Some artist management by labels involves this at more than just the mixing stage. Song writing is also in many cases done like this. If you have the skills of Linda Perry, you'll bubble your way to the top. I'm not sure that Gaga does this process with song writing (does she write her own material?), but I'm willing to bet the label certainly does it with mixing. It's quickly becoming the norm in the industry.
Maybe Gaga knows this and that is why she dodged the topic by answering a question with a question.
Is there something fresh and new in Gaga's music ? no , it feels over produced and over marketed , i dont think Gaga's music has soul , it is like mc donalds , pre-pooped food. It has no soul.
Even that's subjective, of course, but at least she writes and arranges all her own music which isn't typical of factory-produced pop stars.
Sure. And there are at least 1000 notches above that.
