Learning Music Production from home is one of the most enjoyable things to do as a producer, you get to make your mistakes without any body knowing, you get to experiment without anybody seeing your tricks and techniques… Music Production is truly amazing. Suddenly in the past 5 years there has been a massive raise in the way Music Production is seen in the educational eyes and college and university courses have been popping up like hot cakes all over the world.
But is a college or university course in Music Production what you really need?
I think not, everything you can learn in Music Production you can learn from a single website that i found while browsing the internet a few months back. After studying a 3 year Degree in ‘Commercial Music’ i took on this course online and realized that everything i had been sitting down studying for 3 years was available in a program that takes a few months to do in your own time from home.
The topics range from Music Production, Music Strategies, Pop Music Culture, Hip hop, Music Entrepreneurship and so much more. The creative side is so down to you to be honest, only you can push you and to be honest.. 3 years of studying a degree like myself is not going to do any different than a short course can do for you in a few months. You need to take action for yourself.
You need to become an Entrepreneur in this day in age, being your own boss. Knowledge is the key to any Entrepreneur, so make sure you get your knowledge and know how up!

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’.

Another Day Another Dollar..That’s the life of many producers out there, making beats from home and making so many at that they make a healthy living off it. Producing music from home and then selling them on the internet has become the next big thing many producers are doing that are finding it hard to get a record deal.
Selling your own beats online isn’t only about the money but your setting up your own business, your own brand they will be trusted by the people who buy your product. You will get recommended just like any good restaurant and have the entire world to purchase your product, your music, YOU.
Ive been telling you about Make Money By Making Beats, the guys from ‘Ansane’ who made this book are stupidly rich now from selling beats online. They use to upload around 20-30 beats a month, fresh ones. One free a month and built up a crazy reputation. They are now teaching you how you can kill the market your in and make a great income! Visit their website at www.musicproducerpro.net/makemoney.html

Was browsing a website as I do and came across a top ten female rappers list..
Do you think this is up to date enough because to be honest in the past few years a few new female rappers have come up in the game.
There list:
- MC Lyte
- Lauryn Hill
- Queen Latifah
- Missy Elliot
- Da Brat
- Jean Grae
- Rah Digga
- Lil’ Kim
- Eve
- Foxy Brown
My thoughts on that list is that it needs updating. Looks like something from the 90’s. Lil Ma and a few other little female rappers have come up in the game. Lil Kim deserves a little higher ranking in that list I think too!
List from: http://rap.about.com/od/artists/ig/Top-10-Female-Rappers/

Everyday a new producer is born around the world, well every few minutes to be honest and the industry is growing at an amazingly fast rate. There are people going to be producing music in 5 years that would have never thought about it before in there lives, some that are reading this article thinking about getting into the music industry but never thought about it before. There are so many different reasons people join the music industry, some for the passion, some because they have natural talent or some for the money however are they all successful?
The main reasons producers are finding it hard to get record deals with major record labels is because simply, there is so much competition and unless you have already done a lot of work and have some sort of fan base in some cases, the record label doesn’t want to know. You have to come like a ready made product this day in age in the music industry because If your not, some body else is ready to take your spot. Be warned the music industry is not a playground, you cannot expect to join it and expect a deal to come flying at you with no work put in on your side.
Another reason why Music producers are finding it hard to get record deals with major record labels is because the labels are lacking in money because of poor sales because of illegal downloading of MP3’s. This is effecting the whole entertainment industry because people are no longer buying, they are downloading and it is forcing record labels to get rid of acts.

I had my little cousin ask me a question today.. What Does A Music Producer Do?
I thought aww.. there actually listening to what i am part of. Well i thought i would just give you guys a little brief for dummies on what does a music producer do.
A Music Producer is the person who creates and arranges the Beats, melodies etc in a song. They often have some say in what the artist lays down on the track too, after all they did produce the beat.
A Music Producer is in charge of the overall quality of the final product too, they should be mixing all of there music as well as the vocals unless taking to a professional studio to vocal and master.
Any more things to add? Drop me a comment.
Peace
Jay

Everyday i’m sure some of you out there are just there making beats day in day out for fun, well i told you about it a few days ago.
STOP
Stop wasting your talent, it’s all about marketing yourself as a brand and selling your music to the masses. All those producers with massive back catologues full of beats you need to start profitting from them because if they are good, more than likely someone wants them!
Setup mini contracts, so for example you can give away a beat for $20 to $100 and the artist can give it out up until 1000 copies have been sold or whatever then a contract has to be made where are getting paid for it too.
Many ways for producers to make money!
