Music Producer Pro – Full Review

April 23, 2010

Let’s be honest. The number of music production software that are being rushed into the market have made the air very dusty which has blurred the vision of people looking for the perfect software. There are two ways which can help you find the right software for producing music. One way is to try out each and every program that is available. The second is to read reviews.

Many companies hire people to write ‘oh-this-product-dropped-from-the-heavens’ reviews; easily misleading people into making wrong choices. The two factors which will help you find an honest and unbiased review is your judgment and your luck. I am writing this review according to the way I see Music Producer Pro. You can take. You can leave it. The choice is obviously yours.

Now let us see if Music Producer Pro stands up to its name.

Upon seeing the interface when I ran the program on my computer for the first time, it was nice to know that there are some sensible software engineers out there to whom it’s just not about slapping the program in the face of the user. A neat and concise layout set a welcoming tone for further exploration of the software. After spending a minutes, thirty-five to be more precise, I was effortlessly and directly able to find which ever option I wanted. In other words I did not have to click the drop down boxes here and there to find what I was looking for.

Secondly, a library of tutorials and information is available. Surprisingly there were many tutorials that were not about Music Maker Pro but about the art of making production. These are available in both visual and written formats. I would not be exaggerating if I told you that the total size of these tutorials by far surpasses the actual size of many music production programs added together. These detailed and easy-to-follow tutorials help to hit the ground running in the field of music production.

The Pros:
The cost of the program was as much as I would spend if I went out to eat alone. The day when I purchased the program, I went out for a nice lunch to celebrate the fact that I got the program so cheap! You also have a 60 day money back guarantee.

Music Producer Pro, unlike many other music production software, supports many genres of music. Whether you are into hip-hop, rap or rock, this software can help you do that very well.

The Cons:
The sad thing is that if I do not point out at least two bad things, readers will be like “Oh this review is so biased!” For the benefit of these people, I will force out a negative point. Music Producer Pro would need you to upgrade your computer if your ram is less than 512 Megabytes and if your processing power is less than 2 GHz. The modern day computers mostly go beyond the minimum specifications mentioned here.

The Final Word:
In conclusion, I would recommend Music Producer Pro to any one looking for good music production software. I would rate it 4 stars out of 5, keeping the pessimists in mind. I hope this review helps you in purchasing the right program to set you on your way to musical stardom!

Music Production Software Exposed – What The Top Producers Use!

April 21, 2010

Website: www.musicproducerpro.net

I don’t know if you all are aware but some of the biggest rappers are now rapping on FL Studio beats. Jay Z kicked it off with 9th Wonder. Then came Franchise Boys, Crime Mob, & Soulja Boy on FL Studio. And now Drake’s producer Boi 1da who made “Forever” with Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Eminem is repping FL Studio.

I personally started off with hardware (MPC 2000XL / Motif) then i gradually moved to software. I think with everyone scrambling for Soulja Boy & Boi 1da’s beats now FL Studio is finally getting the Co-Signs that it needs to be a real force in “High End” music production and not just for bedroom producers & amatuer hobbyist.

I post this just to give yall a FYI on what’s going on and in no way am i telling you to use FL Studio if you want to make hot beats. I use all kinds of beat makng software & sequencers and there is no “magic hit maker” out there. You must learn your craft & study the game and it doesn’t matter if you rocking Hardware or Software. Hot Beats are Hot Beats, plain & simple.

The purpose of this post is to show how software only producers are finally being taken serious. FYI – Even Dr. Dre is rocking Reason now.

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.

What Is The Best Software For Releasing Music

February 28, 2010

Website – www.musicproducerpro.net

Music Production Software is the first thing a new producer is looking for, it allows the producer to create music. The question i hear the most is what Music Production Software is the best? Fruity Loops (FL Studio), Reason, Logic Pro or Protools.

Reason

Reason is properly my favourite because every single sample included in the software is perfect. Reason is normally used by producers that already have an idea of how to make music and advanced producers. The sound quality you can get out of reason is top notch and ready for radio play, it is recommended however you have to stay within reason. You cannot add VST’s and Plugins, however you can add samples to NNXT and Redrum. Below is a website where you can find tutorials on how to use Reason.

Pro Tools

Pro Tools is like Logic Pro. Industry standard. Pro Tools is normally used by producers that use instruments and hardware that require live recording to get sounds into the song. Pro Tools allows you to also like Logic do everything within one program, supports almost everything you throw at it. It is the worlds best but it also comes at a price and if you can afford it check it out, however don’t buy it for the name and expect to make hits. Below is a website where you can find tutorials on how to use Pro Tools.

I hope this helps you when picking your music production software.

Logic Pro 8 or Fruity Loops.. What Is Better?

February 24, 2010

Website – www.musicproducerpro.net

When it comes to picking music production software it’s very important that you find a piece of software that you find comfortable. The most popular music production softwares out on the market right now are Logic Pro 8 and Fruity Loops so i would recommend looking into one of those as the results they give are of industry standard with some of the top producers in the world using them.

Logic Pro i would generally say is more for the advance user who already knows how to use a sequencer to produce music – because realistically when you have learnt how you make music you can jump from program to program and make song. Logic pro is excellent for the producer who wants to produce a full song and master it and even add vocals to your song very easily instead of jumping to another program to record vocals – it’s truely amazing when it comes to the sound quality.

Fruity Loops i would generally say it’s a program for you to begin on however some producers never grow out of it because it’s also very powerful in what it does, you can record into it however i must admit it’s not the best and you cannot do as must as you can do in logic pro 8. But in terms of producing a beat or making music it’s extremely user friendly and something i believe is great for a beginner producer.

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.

Music Producer Pro – Software Review

February 17, 2010

Website www.musicproducerpro.net

Most music production products are more or less money grabbers. You would generally end up paying for a package that talks about things you already know or may even raise your curiosity only to prove to be a big disappointment. Howe ever, a true informational product should actually help you to learn new ways and methods that you were not aware of.

Music Producer Pro is not a product that does not deliver on its promises. In this package, you will get to know skills that you did not know before. The product will also enhance your knowledge and make you see everything in a different and a more innovative perspective. According to the Music Producer Pro Review, you will get to know different techniques that are though well known but not used much by people. The video lessons are pretty simple and you have some great user-friendly guides.

The rich experience of 23 years of its maker Jay Dynasty is quite apparent in the way the 14 video lessons and the studio lessons are designed. People who follow everything given in these tools, all the tips, methods, and lessons are bound to become professional music producers. Apart from the hip, hop, dance, or techno, you can use these lessons for all genres of music. You can use methods like beat making or sampling and even learn rap and hip hop instrumentals. You can even learn to write your future chartbuster songs as well.

According to this Music Producer Pro Review, this complete package is a better deal than attending an audio college since colleges are expensive and you may have to fulfill a lot of criteria to become a part of the college. On the other hand, with this Music Producer Pro you can learn music production while earning money or completing your studies as well.

The Music Producer Pro Review concludes that this product is actually a genuine and a great product that can help you to make sweet music in the minimum cost!
