BEATMAKERS AND PRODUCERS..DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE??

IN TODAYS MUSIC SCENE THE BIGGEST THING TO GET IS A TOP NOTCH PRODUCER....EVERYONE WANTS THE HOTTEST COMMERCIAL OR HOOD TRACK. I GET A LOT OF PRODUCERS SENDING TRACKS FOR CLIENTS AND THE FIRST THING THAT USUALLY JUMPS OUT IS THE QUALITY OF THE TRACK. QUALITY IS A BIG DEAL IN PITCHING OR SELLING A TRACK AND IF THE QUALITY ISNT THERE WHAT DO U HAVE TO OFFER?


ARE YOU A BEAT MAKER OR PRODUCER?? MOST PEOPLE DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE AND IM GOING TO GIVE YOU MY TAKE ON THE SITUATION.
A BEATMAKER IS PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON PERSON ON THE INDIE SCENE, THESE GUYS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE QUICK TO SELL YOU A CHEAP BEAT THROUGH EMAIL OR ON A CD AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN BECAUSE 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES YOU JUST LIKED THE TRACK AND YOU COULD AFFORD IT... NOT SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT CAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF WEBSITES GETTING BEATMAKERS EXPOSURE BY LETTING THE CONSUMER PURCHASE BEATS STRAIGHT OFF THERE SITES. SO THERE IS AN AVENUE FOR A BEATMAKER OUT IN THESE MARKETS BUT LETS TAKE A LOOK AT A PRODUCER.

PRODUCERS ARE THE ONES THAT SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS INTO MAKING TRACKS COME ALIVE AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERY SOUND, EVERY BEAT BREAK, BEGGINING AND END OF THAT TRACK SOUND AS BIG AS POSSIBLE. THESE GUYS WILL USE REPETITION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WEN THEY ARE WORKING ON TRACKS. ANOTHER DIFFERNCE WITH PRODUCERS IN WHICH TO ME IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERNCE FROM THEM AND A BEATMAKER IS THAT THE PRODUCER MOST OF THE TIME WOULD LIKE TO BE HANDS ON WITH THE WHOLE RECORDING PROCESS AS FAR AS PUTTING THE SONG TOGETHER, THEY MAY RIGHT HOOKS, THEY MAY GO THROUGH THE BLACKBERRY AND GET A FEATURE FOR THE RECORD..ETC ETC BUT THEY ARE REAL HANDS ON PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WHEN A ARTIST COMES IN WITH A HOT CONCEPT AND IDEAS FOR A SONG. PRODUCERS COME A DIME A DOZEN CAUSE THERE ARE GUYS THATS LOOKING FOR THAT QUICK MONEY AND THERE ARE SOME THAT LOOK FOR LONGEVITY. WHICH ONE DO YOU LOOK FOR ?? AND THERE ARE MORE DETAILED AVENUES I CAN GO IN BUT JUST WANTED TO GET THE MAIN POINTS OUT THERE IN THE OPEN..SO BY THESE POINTS WHICH ONE ARE YOU?? NEXT TIME WE ARE GOING INTO DETAILS ON QUALITY OF TRACKS.....AND ILL POST AN INSTRUMENTAL WITH THAT ONE.

EVERY ONE LOVES MUSIC...AND MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO KEEP EVERYONES LIFE IN MOTION TO THE POINT WHERE EMOTIONS FROM THE WRITERS OF THESE RECORDS INFLUENCE ANY AGE OF A PERSON. I REMEMBER GROWING UP WHEN I GOT MY FIRST DRUM SET AND I WOULD PLAY FOR MY LIL SISTER AND SHE WAS MAYBE 2 AT THE TIME AND SHE WOULD BOUNCE AROUND IN HER PLAYPEN. RIGHT THERE I KNEW THAT MUSIC CAN REALLY AFFECT PEOPLE THAT DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

I STARTED THIS BLOG TO BE REAL INFORMANT TO INDIE ARTIST, RECORD LABELS, PRODUCERS AND FOR YOUR EVERYDAY MUSIC LOVER CAUSE I REALIZE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WONT SHARE WITH THEM THE INS AND OUTS OF THE MUSIC BIZ. ALL THEY SEE IS THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR THAT COME WITH THE PROPERTY AND I JUST REFUSE TO LET ALL THIS TALENT THAT I BUMP INTO ON A DAILY BASIS FALL INTO THAT TRAP.

YESTERDAY I WENT TO A VIDEO SHOOT OF A YOUNG ARTIST THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE AND I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT MUCH BUT I KNEW THE GUY THAT WAS FILMING CAUSE OF HIS PREVIOUS WORK. NOW THIS WAS THE ARTIST FIRST VIDEO SHOOT AND HE IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM " LOOKED" LIKE AN ARTIST. HE HAD ON A DIRTY GREY WIFE BEATER WIITH SOME OLD BLUE JEAN SHORTS THAT THE BELT DIDNT FIT SO HE WAS HOLDING HIS PANTS UP, WITH SOME FUSION Js ( JORDANS MIXED WITH AIR FORCE ONES). NOW IM HERE SOLO AT THIS VIDEO SHOOT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND LIKE HIS HOMEBOYS, SOME "DANCERS" AND OTHERS BUT I COULDNT HOLD MY TONGUE I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING TO HIM ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE AND AS USUAL WHEN I DONT HOLD MY TONGUE ARTIST GET REAL PROTECTIVE AND START SAYING " I KNOW" AFTER EVERYTHING I SAY. WELL NEEEDLESS TO SAY I DIDNT GIVE HIM THE 5TH DEGREE BUT I LET HIM KNOW THAT HE CAN DO BETTER AND THEN FOUND THE GUY THAT "WORKS" WITH HIM AND GIVES HIM THE 5TH DEGREE WITH THE DIRECTOR RIGHT THERE AD LIBING ME. THATS ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT IM GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE IMAGE AND HOW BIG IT IS TO HAVE THAT IMAGE WHEN YOU ARE UP AND COMING CAUSE THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS VERY VISUAL AND I REPEAT VERY VISUAL... MTV AND BET HAVE BEEN A LOT TOUGHER ON CENSORSHIP OF A A LOT OF THE VISUALS THAT THEY HAVE LET FLY IN THE PAST YEARS . SO TO SAY LOOKS ARE IMPORTANT WHEN DELIVERING YOUR MESSAGE..WOULD U BELIEVE A UPS DELIVERY MAN COME TO YOUR DOOR TELLING YOU HE IS GOING TO INSTALL YOUR STEREO SURROUND SOUND???...... OH YEA WOULDNT BE RIGHT IF I DIDNT GIVE U A LIL MUSIC AFTER YOU READ ALL THIS: JUICE AND YELLABOY FEAT JC "HOOD GIRL" http://www.zshare.net/audio/15446776015e67df/
