Discovering the art of music production is something that has to be even born into you or taught by someone who knows everything about it, it’s something that shows emotion and power and gives listeners time to hear what you are feeling or trying to put across. Only thing being a lot of people do not know how to use music production software to give them the results they want.
Music Production, it’s a real art and has so many different aspects to it. When you listen to a song you have to hear all the little details and sounds going on to make the emotion, you have to learn how to create this when making music or your music will be dead and boring. Bass, harmonies and melodies make music full of expression and energy whatever genre it is put in; Hip-hop, R&b, Pop and even rock.
The art of music production is also about the communication, you have to master what the listener wants to hear. If you do not know what they want to hear the communication is going to be poor and people will not like your music. The sound, the feel, the emotion, everything has to be just right to connect with your audience. I end this by saying discover the art of music production before going out there in the big wide world, learn how to connect with your audience and it will make you connect with the record label of your dreams must easier.

Good Luck connecting with your audience.

Guide to Free Rap Beat Making Software
December 12th, 2009Every musician on one occasion or another has opened up their web browser and used their favorite search engine to search for free products. If you are into making rap or hip hop beats, then you have probably searched for free rap beat making software. Is it worth your time searching? Here are a few tips as to why it may or may not be worth your time searching. You will get millions of results if you use any major search engine on the net to search for free music programs. Some of the programs that come up will truly be free downloads and others software that you need to pay for. Let’s first tackle the actual free programs: Great for someone just starting out and wanting to learn how to make beats. It gives them the opportunity to not have to spend any money, but they can try out many different programs to see if it is something they will enjoy doing. If you’re looking for rich features, then this is probably not the best route for you to take. Most free software is very basic and hard to use (not in all cases). Most free rap beat making software will have no end user support. If you serious about making music you will at some point to some technical support. Where is a good place to download? I would recommend starting out at a website such as Sourceforge. net. Now let’s take on paid software for making beats: There are too many programs available to musicians today to even try to start listing them. Before opening your wallet to buy anything, you should first see what your needs are. Do you need software that has a sequencer, real-time effects or tone adjustments? You should definitely think about your budget as well. Don’t buy a product that is going to break the bank! Something else you need to think of, is do you need this program to integrate with another piece of recording software you are using? Also, what instruments will you need to be able to hook up to it? Most programs you pay for have a demo you can check out first. Most paid products will also provide free technical support. This is great if you’re in the middle of a recording session and you get a weird error. You don’t need to waste valuable time troubleshooting yourself, just pick up the phone and call tech support. Be sure to take these tips into consideration when either looking to get some free rap beat making software or actually making the decision to buy.
Music production software: Top three programs
October 31st, 2009The world of music production software can be scary and overwhelming at first. You know you want to start producing your own music, making your own beats, recording, etc. But you have no idea where to begin! This was exactly the problem I had when starting out, and I took the advice of the wrong group of people (the “gurus”) and paid way more than a beginner should pay for music production software. This is an industry that depends on always having new people coming through the woodwork, so I feel it’s my responsibility to help get you started.
First, you need to think about what kind of music you want to produce, as some programs seem to be better for different genres of music. If you are into trance, techno, or other “electronica” types of music I suggest starting with a program called FL Studio, short for FruityLoops. This program is good for this kind of music, but in my opinion is not that beginner friendly, and a little overpriced for a beginner. Expect to drop upwards of $80 to start out in the world of music production software. Also, there is a steep learning curve with this and similar software, so I would move on unless you have significant knowledge of math and sound.
Alot of the people I help get started want to start making “hip hop beats”. They don’t need a thousand dollar fancy program, they just want to get their feet wet. Fortunately, I came across the PERFECT program for people who are new to music production. It’s called Sonic Producer and it’s actually built on browser-based software.
This means that you don’t have to install some clunky program to your harddrive. Do not think that because its browser-based that it’s lacking in quality, because it’s actually the opposite. Sonic Producer comes fully loaded witih FREE music production lessons, a 16 track sequencer, and a sound library that is impressive all by itself. See, after spending hundreds of dollars on software too complicated for me, I turned to Sonic Producer. It’s simplicity, sleekness, and low price are what drew me in. I paid less than thirty bucks in all for one of the sickest music production suites I’ve ever used.
But, maybe you’re not a beginner you say! You DO have audio and math knowledge and are willing to brave the steep learning curve! Well there is hope. While I would recommend Sonic Producer for even intermediate users, some people just want something different. This is why I recommend Reason or Cubase to these people. These programs are top of the line, but it will cost you. From what I remember these programs are a few hundred dollars. But don’t let that steer you away, you’re paying for quality.
As you can see, in the world of digital music production, there’s a little something for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out, kind of know what you’re doing, or you’re the master, there’s a way to get you going. Welcome to the wonderful world of music production!
