OFFICIAL BEATMAKING / PRODUCTION THREAD Vol. New NT


I rock with it, it's simple but not too simple.

I'd slow the tempo just a tad, and add a lil' high end to the snare, but that's just for my personal taste.

Welcome to the fomly, fomly. :nthat:

Lol, the sample came from an Isley Bros song called "Ohio Machine Gun" (if you listen closely you can hear him say Ohio too).

Plus that's where I'm currently staying. :pimp:

I'm noticing a surge in said labels lately, why do you think that is?

Soundclick producers do it to get more plays on their beats

Might as well just say "I don't have my own identity as an artist"
 
In my case it's more to give people a reference point to start from. When I posted this track on SC I noted it as an A$AP Ferg type beat, but the track has an original sound and doesn't sound like anything he's used before. But, I could imagine him on the track. So in my case it's more to let the listener know where I'm coming from and what my vision is. Most people need a reference point when they hear an instrumental track, especially if it's a sound they haven't really heard before and doesn't copy something else.

Trends. Everyone says its to get noticed. but ur not getting noticed by anybody important doing that. its basically to entice small sales imo. but when i see those labels, theyre usually knockoffs of other beats the artist has done, or its just random artists names thrown on it just to sound different. overall i just think its terribly wack

From what I understand (and having tried a demo of it), Ableton Live is a loop-based production tool, similar to Acid Pro, and has a lot of features that make beat-matching and sampling simple.

Everyone who talks to me about Logic always says that it has a very steep learning curve, but is ridiculously-full featured. I'd say in terms of simplicity, Ableton is moreso, but Logic will allow you room for growth as you develop your skills and knowledge of production. Plus, Logic Pro is a good second step after GarageBand, given that they're both compatible as Apple-developed programs.

Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the above, since I don't use either - this is just what I've heard from people who actually use these programs.

Edit: As a new producer, since we're talking software, I say start with something free, i.e. Garageband if you're already using a Mac, or Reaper if you're on Windows. Save your money until you know what it is that you're looking for and what you want it to do - a lot of us started out on demo versions and things like that before we built out our setups.

Thanks for this. How do i download Garageband on my Mac?

Between Fruity Loops, Logic, Reazon and ProTools what do you recommend someone like me who has a high interest in beat making but isn't musically inclined at all with instruments or vocals? I wanna start producing as soon as possible.

Is there a rise in "Type beat"? I've seen that since the Soundclick days

I make over 10 grand a month off type beats.

serious.

it doesnt have to even be a type beat as in ripping an artist style. just use the artist names for traffic.

Super late on this, but if you have zero technical knowledge. I would avoid Reason. I tried the demo and felt suuuuuuuper overwhelmed, and I'm coming from Ableton.

FL Studio seems to be the go-to if you have no idea what you're doing/just starting out, after that you can either choose to stick it out like a lot of people, due to familiarity and simplicity, or try new things. If you want something you can grow into, try Logic or FL Studio.

Ableton is a bit complex if you aren't gonna need the extra "Live" aspects of the program. I currently use it though, and I'm used to it, so I stick with it.

Whatever you decide though, give it a few days/weeks before you give it up. There's no instant gratification.


Also, I think Macs come with Garageband pre-installed, I have it on mine.
