Hot Tips for Creating Amazing Music Beats at Home...

noreply@blogger.com (Independent Musicians Network) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 22:52:00 +0000

Hey, fellow musicians.

You need hot beats to pull your tunes together. A great set of

music beats will be the backbone to your rhythm section.

They can peak the interest of your listeners and make them

want to keep coming back for more of your music.

Check out some hot tips for creating amazing music beats from

the comfort of your home.

Make Your Own Beats Today

1. Customize the beats so they fit your signature sound.

Whether your signature sound has a rap, funk, rock, or country

feel etc. you want people to know they are hearing your unique

beats when they are listening to your music. Your beats should

really set you apart from others, and grab your audiences

attention.

2. Utilize music beat resources that are available to you.

There are great resources available to help you make your own

beats from the comfort of your home e.g. music beat creation

software, beat making equipment, music forums etc…use them!

There are great tools for sampling beats, building upon your

foundation and creating hot new beats. Listen to cool rhythms

you like on CDs, MP3s, music videos, radio, at gigs etc. as this

is great inspiration and really can help you feel the grooves.

Keep them fresh in your mind, and get a raw sampled recording

of some of the beats (e.g. using a handheld recording device) so

you can remember them later. Then edit the beats to make them

your own. You can also create your own beats from scratch using

good music production software.

We recommend you check out the music production resource at the

following link because it is easy to use (and has video tutorials),

has a cutting edge music sequencer, and allows you to export your

beats via mp3.

Visit this link to make your own beats today!

3. Search for music forums online to find a community of
beat makers you can trade ideas with.

Visiting forums is a great way of learning what others are doing to

find and create great beats. You can go online and use a search

engine to search for forums focused on creating music beats.

You may be surprised to find that there are several forums focused

on the specific style of music beats you are in to. They are a very

good place to go to brainstorm ideas and get tips for recording

great beats. You may even be able to take your beats to a new

level by collaborating with other beat makers.

4. Expand your creativity, and ear for music.

When you need ideas for new beats, try to emulate the beats you hear

that sound really tight and catch your attention. Look for the subtleties in

the rhythms that you really like and learn how to recreate them in your own

voice. You can practice to your hearts content right in the comfort of your

home. This can help improve your rhythm and ear for music.

Also, make a practice of experimenting with your rhythm machines

to make your own beats. Once you find your groove you'll be surprised

what you can create.

5. Record the beats you create!

Always remember this important note... make sure you record your beats so you

can remember them later!…You can record your beats at home using a handheld

recording device, home recording equipment, or software. Whatever recording option

you choose to use, just make sure you use it...so you can share your hot new grooves

with your fans.

7 Hot Tips for Getting Signed to Record Labels

noreply@blogger.com (Independent Musicians Network) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:24:00 +0000

Hi, fellow musicians.

Before you think about sending your music into major record labels, like Jive Records,

there are some things you must know. The record label representative you work with

must have a vibe with you and your music.  It is their job to find the next big artist, one

who will get radio play and sell a lot of CD's and MP3 downloads.  If you have interest

in getting a record deal, pay close attention to the following important tips to help you

take your music to the next level...and get  signed.

1) Make Sure Your Music is Tight!

The production needs to be solid, and the music quality must sound professional.

Of course a lot of fine tuning can be done in the studios after you're signed, but

you know the saying...you only have one time to make a good first impression...

so make the most out of it.

2) NEVER USE Certified Mail to Send Your Music to Record Labels.

Certified mail is the first step in the legal process so artist reps will likely

put your mail to the bottom of their pile.

3) NEVER Contact an A&R (Artists and Repertoire) Representative More
than Once in a Week...if they Expressed Interest in Your Music.

They are extremely busy, and will get back to you when they can. Also, if they

think you have a hit on your hands...you may have problems getting them off

of the phone because they will be so ready to talk with you.

4) NEVER Send More Than 4 Downloadable Songs.

If you are given the go ahead to send your music to an A&R rep for record deal

consideration, do not send them more than 4 downloadable songs at a time or

10-12 beats if you are a beat maker.  They are very busy so you want to respect

their time by not overwhelming them with too many music samples.

Also, 4 downloadable songs (or 10-12 beats)  is more than enough to give them a

feel for your music.

5) If You Mail Songs to Your Contact at a Record Label, Put Your
Contact Information on Your CD AND Packaging!

A&R reps are so busy, they may open your package and immediately get distracted

with 10 other things. Eventually they may come back to your CD, and if your

contact information isn't listed on your CD...your out of luck. So don't make this

big mistake!

6) NEVER Mark Your Emails Urgent.

This sends the message that your songs are more important than anything and

everything they have going on in their life, and if they see your message really

isn't urgent on the scheme of things...that may upset them. This is a great way to

get you placed on the back burner of other projects your A&R Rep is working on.

7)  Make Sure Your Photography and Graphics on Your Site are High Quality.

Your website is like your resume' to music professionals, so if it is of poor quality,

they may not take your music seriously and you may not be considered for a

record deal. *Note: If you have a Myspace account, and have some friends on there

that would be viewed as non-professional, strongly consider removing them from

your friends area if you want the executives at the record labels to take you seriously.
