Website – http://www.musicproducerpro.net

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. Let’s start with the creative side of music production and where it all begins.

Music Production Software is where all the fun begins, 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. Check the link below for more information

The Music Production Equipment (Hardware) 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. Learn to use them with the music production software because without the software it’s going to be hard to mix all the audio together to get a great mix. Invest in good quality equipment and the results you will great out of your music will be amazing – There are guides at the bottom of the page – follow the link.

Building up your knowledge for a career in Music Production is critical, so ensure you watch online Music Production Tutorials. 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.

I wish your Career in Music Production to be amazing and you reach to the top.

Easy Ways To Make Money Producing Music/Beats

February 21, 2010

Website – www.musicproducerpro.net

Selling Beats Online
I could bore you with business terminologies, concepts, and how to properly apply them to the online beat market. But quite frankly, that kind of information won’t do you much good; business jargon only tend to complicate things, not solve problems. So with that being said I will try to minimize the business jargon, and lay down some fundamentals of branding and apply it to online beat selling, in hopes of increasing your probability of success selling beats online.

Branding
Brand your image, brand your music, and brand your communication. How can you do this? Here are a couple ideas you could experiment with:

1. Create 1 alias only!: A lot of producers fall into the habit of creating several aliases due to legitimate reasons of their own. Fair enough, but in order to maintain a clientele base, instead of a customer basis, you have to be grounded and identifiable.

2. Try to define your sound: This doesn’t mean making the same kind of beats over and over again. It simply means find/ create something distinct about your production. Whether it is layering your drums, passing guitars and other instruments through an effect that you’ve mastered, etc. You want people to be able to identify you, not only by your name but by your product (your beat). Kind of how you hear a Dr. Dre track and you know it’s Dr. Dre without browsing through the production credits

3. Keep at it: Don’t expect to start selling beats over night, or over the span of a week, or a month. Some people do get lucky and start selling their beats as soon as the create an account on social beat networks and upload their music, for the rest of us, we understand that this kind of success requires a great deal of time and patience. During down time, you can focus your time on branding your image. If there is a beat you have that isn’t selling, talk to other producers on the site (successful producers) and ask them to leave feedback on a particular track you are having problems selling, and see if you can pinpoint the problem from the feedback they give you (Remember, their word isn’t golden, it is just a suggestion). If that doesn’t work, try advertising on the main page of beat social networks.

A couple things to keep in mind in case your music isn’t selling:

i. Price: Are you charging too much in comparison to others
ii. Quality: Is it properly mixed, a full song, etc.
iii. Originality: Are there other tracks that sound the same that could be purchased for less
iv. Exposure: Is the track being heard

4. Learn some music theory: Music is an art form that has some basic rules that should be followed. This doesn’t mean that you can’t bend them; it just means you just can’t break them. If you’re really serious about making some money selling beats online, take the time out to learn some theory. There are some sites online that give free lessons on music theory. This will enable you to be more consistent in the quality of music you make, and help you distinguish yourself from other online producers.

5. Mixing DOES matter: Although this may seem completely out of left wing, it is very instrumental in your production. Imagine if the sound guy didn’t have the volume high enough during the president’s inauguration. Take time with your mixes. It’s like yin to yang, the music isn’t more important than the mix, or vise versa. They compliment each other, so if you can’t mix, find some one who can, or learn how to

6. Don’t compromise yourself: A lot of producers fall into the habit of selling their beats for next to nothing. This is only hurting you in the long run. You cripple your ability to evolve as a producer, because you are satisfied with your quantitative success, and you’re only creating a brand for yourself that you’ll find difficult to get out of. I mean, if you made a beat that you thought was hot, and posted it for a substantial price difference in comparison with the other tracks you have for sale, the probability of selling it will be pretty low, because they’d rather look for a substitute

7. People are watching: The way you respond to people could affect you even if your intentions where good. Never forget, even though you may feel you are right about something, there are a million people out there that disagree. Keep your opinions unbiased, briefly address the issue and or concern, and let it be. * As long as it doesn’t attack you as a brand*

E.g. – You may run into a situation where someone disagrees with the genre or sub-genre of music you made. Since this could affect you indirectly, you should stand up for your brand, BUT ONLY DEFEND YOURSELF & WORKS WITH FACTS. The person you’re arguing with might be ignorant, but the rest of the people reading those posts aren’t

8. Be humble: Online producers are a dime a dozen, you have to turn customer into clientele. Go online to producer forums, get to know the people on there, get to know artists, post up pictures of your self on your profile. Use these social tools to gain an advantage over your competitors. Treat people with respect and you will get respect back. It’s one thing to be competitive, it’s another thing to be arrogant.

These are just a couple things that could help you sell more beats. I’m not guaranteeing you that following these guidelines will guarantee you success; it is merely a step in the right direction. Good Luck!

Learn To Use The Music Production Software Timbaland Uses

February 20, 2010

Website – www.musicproducerpro.net

A lot of people would like to know how Timbaland gets his tracks to sound so unique. While he is an amazing producer. One of the major keys to his success is his relentless search for new sounds. Timbaland uses a sound library that makes an amateur producer look like he is using a kids keyboard. To get the sounds that made Justin Timberlakes last two albums slam, you are going to have to look for synths or synthesizers. Two of Timbaland’s favorite are the Vanguard and a synth from Re FX. They were actually made popular by techno producers.

Don’t expect Timbaland to stay their for long though. While you may be able to make tracks like him, He got their first. Labels and publisher are looking for what will be hot in 2 or 3 years not now. If you are an artist, Google chasetrackmusic.com Their is an up and coming producer named Chase McMorrough that has producer some really hot Timbaland style beats, and he is still in the underground so you can get a track, although not for long, for only a couple thousand. We used one for one of our artist. It was the one that got her a deal.

Another great trick to get drums to hit harder is to layer your kick with another 1/32 off time, and change the attack to hard. It really make the beat jump. Hope fully this information was helpful to you. I am going to recommend some materials for you if you are just getting started or even already in the game.
