I Want to Produce Music

I hear this every day from young teenagers that want to make a career in the music industry, they want to be the next ‘Pharrell’, ‘Timbaland’, ‘Scott Storch’, ‘Dr Dre’ and the list goes on. They ask me how did they make that sound? Ive been trying to make it for days in Fruity Loops.. etc etc

If you want to become a music producer, you need to get your musical production knowledge up. You need to learn from someone that knows everything you need to know and beyond that. A mentor.. almost like a manager but leaves you to go on with your own creative journeys. You need someone who can teach you all the best software programs such as Logic Pro, Fruity Loops, Reason, Audacity etc etc as well as the hardware aspect to music production such as MPC’s, Mixers, Microphones, Audio Interfaces and so on.

If you want to become a music producer these things are available for you, and if you wish to have a good chance in succeeding in the music industry. You need to get your knowledge up and start studying at home in your free time. I found a website which teaches you everything you need to know and more. The full in’s and out’s of the music studio, you will be mastering and mixing all of your songs by the time you finish. Polishing up other peoples songs and could even find a career in that.

But as I said, get your knowledge as high up as you can. There are hundreds of other people out there just like you saying ‘I Want To Become A Music Producer’.

I Want to be a Music Producer

Learning how to become a music producer this day in age is all about knowing the business, you can be talented as hell but if you do not know how the business works you are going to find it ever so hard.
Many people ask me ‘How Do I Become A Music Producer’, they ask me what music production software is the best, what do i recommend.

The advice i gave varied between what kind of producer/artist they wanted to become however the basics i recommend to everyone start like this:

1) Get a PC or Apple Mac.
2) Buy / Download Music Production Software ( Fruity Loops, Reason, Logic Pro, Pro Tools.. theres loads. Research)
3) Practice making your favorite type of music.
4) Find a mentor or watch online tutorials
5) Create a Myspace and start building a little fan base.

These five things i would recommend to any newbie producer that wants to go quite far in the music industry, they are straight forward however i recommend to be careful at number 4.

Ensure the person you are learning from is as well telling you what to do but inspiring you as well, you don’t want a boring mentor as i’m sure they will drive you to properly stop producing music!

Becoming a music producer isn’t the hardest thing in the world, however it is a challenge . Music Production is not for everybody but if you are interested try it and follow my short step by step guide and you will go far. Good Luck!

Producing Music for Your Listener

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.

Attention:All Serious Singers, Song Writers, and Music Producers

If You Want A Career In The Music Industry Then I Seriously URGE you To Read This Article, TWICE.

I’m glad my headline got your attention.

Seriously, I am so excited with the information I want to pass on to ALL aspiring Music Artists and Producers that I did not want you to pass my article by.

My name is Anthony, and recently my brother asked me to help him find an on-line source for him to be able to produce some songs he’s been working on for a while. He had no problem when it came to writing the songs, but he was not sure of the whole music production stuff. He was looking for a site where he could download some instrumentals and some beats, hoping to be able to produce something that he could showcase his songs with.

So I started to do some research on google and I came up with a lot of sites. I began to read them all, there were so many I had to keep notes so I could do comparisons. What I found was there was a lot of sites that were just getting started and were really limited with their selection and were very expensive. Some offered downloadable hiphop or rap beats, some claimed that you could make free beats, some had downloadable sounds. But none of these were really offering a lot of value for the money they were charging. Then there were a few really good sites that put a lot into their sites and provided tutorials where you could make your own beats and downloadable sounds. Some were offering 1000′s of beats and instrumentals and sounds that you could download and add your lyrics to and produce your own tracks. These sites were very good and really offered a lot for a one time member fee. Had my research stopped there, and it almost did, my brother would have had a really good source to get the beats and instrumentals he was looking for. Well lucky for him I was really I wasn’t satisfied.

I started looking for music production software and programs, something that would teach him how to put it all together professionally.

Recording a music demo is the most vital step in pursuing a record deal. If you want a record deal, you need to really impress the record label and give them something professional, polished, unique and exciting. Finding the right record producer can be a painstaking process, but it’s absolutely necessary if you want to have a shot at a successful music career. The following are ten pitfalls you must avoid when recording your music demo.

1. Be careful of music producers with no real music industry experience or credits.

Anyone can call themselves a music producer. Calling yourself a music producer requires no experience, no degree, no credits and no skill. Do you want to trust your career with this person? Look for a music producer that has actually worked on records with signed artists and record labels. Valuable and necessary music production skills are acquired only through years of hard work on professional recording sessions.

2. Beware of producers who want to record your music demo in their “home studio”.

Although home recording equipment has gotten better through the years, there is still a vast difference between a home studio and a professional recording studio. Due to space constraints and budget concerns, a home studio will often make many compromises in sound quality and flexibility that will undoubtedly affect the final product. It’s difficult to get a clean sound from someone’s basement. A real full service recording studio has certain professional standards that they must adhere to and cannot make such compromises if they expect to stay in business.

3. Watch out for producers who want you to sing in their closet or bathroom.

When you’re paying hard earned money for your music demo you shouldn’t be shoved into some guys cramped, unventilated closet. How safe would you feel? You need a studio with space to move around and you need to be comfortable when you sing if you really expect to perform your best. In addition, the poor acoustics of a closet will give you a very undesirable vocal sound.

4. Be skeptical of music producers who claim to specialize in 7 or 8 styles of music.

Specialize means to ‘devote oneself to a specific area of study.’ An experienced music producer may do a few related styles well, but beware when they claim to ‘specialize’ in Rap, Country, R&B, Folk, Rock, Club music, Blues, Polka, etc. This is like casting a net out to see who bites. Chances are they have no real specialty and will miss the subtle elements of each style. The result is a music demo that sounds stale, stereotypical and boring at best. If you want a producer that will make fantastic music for your specific style, find one who actually specializes in that certain sound.

5. Use a professional engineer to record and mix your music demo, not an amateur.

Engineering is a skill and a talent that takes many years of hard work, study and long grueling hours to acquire. Professional engineers have worked with hundreds of artists and music producers and have learned individual techniques from each of them. They are paid hundreds and thousands of dollars for their technical and creative skill. Engineers are the ones responsible for the sonic quality of a recording. You can have the best producer in the best studio in the world, but with a bad engineer the music will end up sounding like garbage.

6. Be careful with producers who want to charge you by the hour.

While occasionally an hourly rate can be appropriate, it is NEVER done in the real music industry (where we make records, not demos). The music producer is paid a flat fee by the record label to give them a fully produced song for their artist. When a producer charges by the hour, you become the one producing your own track and the producer is reduced to the role of a keyboard player. They count on you making common mistakes and running up the clock because of your lack of experience producing.

7. Watch out for producers who claim they will shop your demo.

Find out exactly what this means. Will they send it to their cousin in Georgia who has a wedding band? Did they meet a guy in the music store who has a cousin at some label in France? If they have any genuine music industry contacts that are really worthwhile, they could not possibly have them very long if they promise to shop every artist they produce before even hearing them. This will ruin their credibility. Do not fall for this one.

8. Be cautious of producers who emphasize equipment over credentials.

All too often people think that by just acquiring some gear they’ll get a great production. Don’t believe it. Buying a paintbrush doesn’t make you an artist. Buying a violin doesn’t make you a musician. Why do people think that buying a mixing board makes them an engineer or a music producer? It doesn’t. That only comes with hard work and experience. As an artist your only concern should be how your music sounds, not whether producers are using class A mic pre-amps, a tube compressor or Apogee A/D converters.

9. Listen to the music.

Listen to examples of their work and see what moves you and which music producer you connect with. Does the music producer listen to you and share your vision? Do you feel comfortable with them? Do you enjoy being in their studio? Do you trust them? If you do, that’s the right music producer for you.

10. You get what you pay for.

Music Demos are NOT like McDonalds hamburgers. They are not massed produced and they are certainly not all alike. While cost is a concern when doing a music demo, you must realize that a bad demo is worse than no demo at all. A bad demo will close doors for you that you may never be able to open again. Like anything in life, garbage is cheap and you pay extra for superior quality. For an experienced music professional, you may end up paying more than that with a bargain basement dirt cheap producer. But if you’re really serious about pursuing a record deal you must present yourself in a professional light if you have any hopes of being signed.
