Do You Want To Make Music Like Me

August 29, 2008

Learning how to make music is something that many people want to do but think of it as a undoable task, or something that takes a lot of time. Some people even think you have to be born into music and are naturally talented, no doubt alot of people are however you can be like them too. Go onto google and search up Fruity Loops, Fruity loops is the most used music production software on the market and is common for new producers to use.

The reason people use Fruity loops is because everyone recommends it and it allows you to do things advanced music software such as Logic Pro do. Adding plugins which allow real sounding instruments is what alot of producers do to give their productions a very professional sound and also could make them sound as if they are using much more advanced software or even hardware then they actually are.

Starting to learn how to make music isn’t as hard as you think and if you put your mind to it you could be making music within a few weeks from knowing nothing at all and once you know how to make music in one program, there pretty much all the same and you will advance through them all. Follow your heart if your heart is in it and start making music today, follow your dreams and if you really want them they will come true. Find some friends or a mentor to tell you if your music is hot or not, signup to websites such as myspace and upload your music and get feedback.

Good luck

Making Music – Learning What The Listener Wants

August 29, 2008

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.

Training Your Ears

August 28, 2008

I previously posted this; Ear Training

I recently heard back from 7 of my subscribers i recommended to join the course and they are already able to pay back melodies and are moving onto creating harmonies. Vocal training, keyboard and basic note training is avaliable from the link above, training your ears is totally something that needs to be done before entering the music industry!

Great work guys!

Join Today – Not training your ears to know notes is and will be embarrassing, let me give you an example. I always could produce music, however i never knew my notes by ear. So i was in a studio with vocal artists as a producer and they would know every single note i used and they were correcting me! And i was the producer!! Don’t get put in that position…

Help With Beatmaking

August 26, 2008

Visit the website - www.musicproducerpro.net

Want to record some beats and produce music?  Well, in today’s lesson I want to cover some of the finer details you need to consider when recording and producing beats!  Recording beats is a tough task to accomplish at home primarily because it involves recording more than one instrument in the drum kit. A drum kit consists of so many varied instruments that it can produce a huge range of sounds covering the entire audio spectrum, from the soft sound of brushes to the loud beat of a bass drum. In terms of recording, you have to consider recording beats as recording several instruments and would be using multiple mics to capture the whole gamut of sounds. If you are using multiple mics, you would also need multiple inputs to record separate tracks.  Though it is tough to record beats, it is important to get it right as a good beat is the heart and soul of groovy music. Let us now look at how you can go about recording the various instruments to get groovy beats:  

 

Snare Drum  

Good snare sounds are essential for a good beat. You should ideally place a mic a little above front edge of the drum facing downwards at a 45 to 65 degree angle. You can move the mic further away from the drum head to get a little less low end sound. Make sure that you are not getting a “bleed through” from the high hat or cymbals. If you record the snares separately, it will be easy to EQ them at the mixing stage. Before you start recording, listen through headphones to make sure that the snares are sounding right. If you hear a ringing sound, cover the top head of the drum with tape to cut down on the ring.

Bass Drum  

To record the bass drum, you should use a mic made to record low end frequencies. You can try placing the mic halfway inside the drum and muffle ringing sound with a pillow inside the drum. Again, keep listening through the headphones to make adjustments. The mic should be pointed towards the beater and away from the snare drum.  

 

Toms

Recording toms also requires a good bass mic that can record low frequencies. You can place the mic a few inches above the outer rim of the drum. You can experiment with the distance to get the sound you want, the further the mic from the source, the more roomy the sound. You can point the mic downwards at a 40 to 60 degree angle and away from the audience. To give a flowing feel to the drums, you can try panning the toms on the left to the left side of the mix and those on the right to the right side.

 

Cymbals  

It is tough to record cymbals in a home studio. You have to record them in stereo with two mics, one over the left cymbal and one over the right cymbal. You should use mics of high quality. If you have only one mic, then you should place it in the center. You should ideally place the two mics quite far apart, roughly about three times their distance from the cymbals. It works out fine if you place the mic not too far from the cymbal.  

 

Room mics

If you are getting good sounds in the your room, you can try capturing them with a room mic. You will have to experiment to find out the best place to set it up. You can place it in one of the room corners, in front or behind the drum kit. Just make sure that it is quite far from the drum kit, or you will end up with phasing problems.  One more tip to keep in mind while recording beats is that since you are recording a range of sounds, make sure you don’t record too hot or you will end up overloading your preamp and causing digital distortion!

I will leave it here for today, but watch out for the next music production tip as I will help you out with some stuff that will take your music production to the next level.  So, for today, take care, and get producing!

Create Professional Music

August 26, 2008

Creating Professional Music is something that is essential in the Music Business because of the amount of producers in the industry, the industry is a fast growing industry with new producers coming out everyday.

Music Production is something that producers all have to master to create quality music;
* Beat Creation: picking sounds for a kit, grid & manual tick editing, ghost notes, stereo field sound placement, layering, sample management, using dynamics & efx, dynamic playing via velocity templates
* Quantise: understanding and manipulating quantise, extracting grooves from audio & midi material, creating custom quantise templates, understanding swing, getting that perfect timing in your beats.
* Sample Manipulation: determine the key of a sample or song using spectrum analysers, old school key matching techniques, manipulating key, time stretching/compressing, slicing techniques for drums and instrument phrases.
* Dynamics and Effects: compression, parallel compression (New York), stereo widening techniques, EQ, reverb/chorus, filtering redundant frequencies.
* Polishing the mix: understanding sample management, multi format audio exports, grouping and soloing for mixing/production.

Creating Professional Music takes time however it can be mastered – Fruity Loops, Reason, Pro Tools & Logic Pro are the music industries favourite music production software tools for music production. You can find these music production software packages on their website – search on google.

I conclude this by saying – Learn how to create professional music before going to release. Be better than the rest because it is a hard industry to break into, just like the fashion industry a new producer comes out everyday so you need to be on top of your game.

Careers In The Music Business

August 25, 2008

Starting a career in music production is something that has to be mastered and has to be taught. You cannot be naturally born knowing everything, knowledge and power in the world is taught to you and I am going to tell you many ways you can learn how to build a career in music production.

Music Production is where all the fun begins, using Music Production Hardware is all part of it but generally speaking I am going to use the term Music Production Software; 
You will need this to create your music, and however you may start learning (through fruity loops, reason etc) but ultimately you will need to end up using industry standard music production software such as Pro Tools or Logic Pro. This will give you the freedom to move around different record studios.

The Music Production Equipment you use is just as important as the music software. Your production equipment could be your midi keyboard, microphone, digital keyboard (Triton, Yamaha etc), mixing desk, audio interface or many other different types of equipment.

Building up your knowledge for a career in Music Production is critical, learning from online Music Production Tutorials is a great way of building your musicial knowledge. They will give you everything you need to know production wise, you will be learning some of the same production methods as many established producers. 
Anyone that may be more advanced than you get Music Production Tips from, it’s always good to learn and take on advice.

Getting A Internship In A Major Record Label

August 20, 2008

Producing Music from your own Music Production Studio no longer is as hard as it once use to be, you do not have to spend mega bucks a month renting somebody else’s studio when you can have your own Home Studio. Music Production is either born in you and you are a musical naturally but like many thousands of talented producers they had to learn.

Don’t think because you don’t know a thing about making music there is no hope, there is great hope and I know exactly what can get you making beats in no time, entering competitions and ultimately getting you a internship with a major record label. ‘I wanna make music’, ‘I want to Produce Music’, ‘I Want to make beats’ and ‘I want to be the next big thing’ are phrases I hear from newbie producers every day, but are they doing anything about it? Are they getting the information they need? And I think the answer is no.

I have found a website that can turn someone who hasn’t got a creative mind into a master mind, and to think if you have a general interest in making music.. You will go far. I am going to post a link at the bottom of this page and I suggest if you wish to get into the music industry you check it out and have a look at the information because it goes so deep you will think you famous before you are.

Stay forced and you will suceed.
