STUDIO MUSIC

How to make hip-hop beats and become a

producer

HOW TO BECOME A PRODUCER

To become a producer you have to study how a

producer works in a studio. Motivation and

inspiration is the key to become a great producer in

the music world.

WHERE TO START

For beginners, there are software's such as Fruity

Loops that will teach you how to make music. Fruity

Loops is a software to create music by clicking

sounds and composing a pattern of live instruments

and sounds that matches up to sound creative. Once

you get a hang of that, your confidence level will

boost up.

MIXING SOUNDS

Mixing your sounds are one of the key points to

producing a track. To mix your sounds you will need

to be familiar with the mixing process. Mixing is

another element a producer will have.

SOFTWARE’S FOR MIXING

You can mix sounds and mix a completed track

with Fruity Loops, but I would not recommend this.

Software’s such as Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase,

Reason and Adobe Audition are software’s a

producer may need to mix anything. Some of the

software’s require an interface.

STYLE

When becoming a producer, you will find your

sound and style. You will find yourself making music

the way you want to and that usually leads to a

signature sound.

MAKE A NAME FOR YOURSELF

To make a name for yourself can be easy and it can

also be difficult. First, your material needs to be hot.

People need to love what your sound is all about. You

need to present your product to the world as an

aggressive producer with a fresh sound.

HOW TO MAKE AN IMPACT

There are free media web-sites you can reach to

the world. Record companies are all about fans. If

people around your area love what you’re doing,

then the chances are people outside will love it as

well. Websites such as YouTube and Facebook are

great tools for free promotion and to get your

material heard. View counts and fans are the two

things the big record companies are looking for.
