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.
