Making Music On Your PC

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Up until a few years ago, making music meant a massive investment in time and money- either you had to buy expensive equipment and learn how to use it, or rent a studio for $100 per hour or even more. Those days are fortunately gone now, you can use your computer to record and edit your vocals or instruments, arrange everything and burn a CD of your work afterwards, ready to be played on your CD player.


In order to make music with your computer, the minimum you need is a soundcard and good software. Modern computers usually ship with a built-in soundcard already, which is sufficient to start with – just connect an amplifier or headphones to it. Nearly all soundcards have Mic In/Line in connectors as well, so if you wish to record vocals or instruments, you only need to purchase a microphone and connect that. Although some soundcards come bundled with a microphone already, those are usually of poor quality and not suitable for decent music production. Thus a good idea here is to seek advice in your local music store.


Next you need to find good music software. Fortunately there is a lot of applications available for all common computer platforms, no matter if you are using Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. To find good applications for your platform, type something like “Music Software for PC” into your favourite search engine.


A good idea is to start with free software, then move on to commercial software once you got the hang of it and your requirements grow. You might also want to look at the applications that are given away for free on cover CDs of music magazines, or those that come bundled with your soundcard. Some music software developers give away older, discontinued or feature-limited versions of their software for free. Often such software is a lot more capable than software which has always been distributed freely.

Beat Making Software – Rap Beats Maker Program

Friday, January 1st, 2010

A music beat maker is going to have a few things going for it that separate it from a virtual drum-machine or traditional software beat maker. The most essential difference is that it is going to allow a song-writer to produce an entire song from beginning to end. This usually means that the samples will also have to be more expansive. More samples and sounds will be necessary as well as at least 16-tracks. Beyond this, there may be a virtual drum-pad and there should also be a virtual piano set.

The piano set would be used to add the bass-lines, guitar parts, vocal elements and synthesizer sounds; essentially everything that doesn’t sound like a percussion instrument. The idea behind a music beat maker is that it will allow a song-writer to drop a nice beat and then have enough tracks and samples left over to add a hook. A hook is the part of the song that keeps the listener listening. Every great song has a great hook.

There are a few things every beat maker should have, so for the purposes of this article, these elements will be discussed now. For one thing, a beat maker should have a 16-track sequencer. Whether or not the tracks can be bounced onto one of the tracks is not as important as making sure there are 16-tracks available. 8-track sequencers simply do not give the song-writer enough options and may be okay if you are just looking for a quick and simple beat but lack the desired effect when you want to add a hook or produce an entire song from scratch.

You will also want each track to have its own volume control. This is pretty obvious, but make sure that you try out the samples and the volume control on each track before you purchase the music beat maker. You don’t want to end up with a music beat maker that does not give the sneer, bass-drum etc. the exact tone you are looking for.

You will also want to have control over the beats-per-minute or BPM. This stands for how many beats are played each minute, so for a song that is set at 100 BPM, 100 beats are ‘completed’ per minute. This does not mean you should use every beat (silence is golden) but it is the standard for determining the tempo of the song. Just make sure you have control over it.

Last but not least you will want to have an easy export option in your music beat maker. At the very least you will want the beat maker to export to mp3 with the click of a button, and the more export file options available the better. Most software beat makers today will have this option, and that would include music beat makers as well.

To re-cap, the four ingredients you will want to have on your music beat maker at the bare minimum are:

- 16-track sequencer (not an 8-track sequencer)

- Individual volume control (for each of the 16 tracks)

- BPM Control (to control the tempo of the song)

- Easy Export Option (at least exportable to mp3 so you can burn the song or upload it etc.)

Just remember to try out as many music beat makers as possible by downloading ‘free’ versions on your computer. This way you will have a good idea about what you like and don’t like and then you can choose accordingly. The price of beat makers has gone down so much in the last few years that you can probably spend well under $100 and be pretty happy with the purchase and the beats you make. Good luck and happy beat making.

Download Beat Making Software—Find Out Why It’s the Best Route

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

I got tired and frustrated with dealing with producers that were charging me a lot of money for one track, so I decided to make my own beats and download beat making software. I wasnâ??t sure how exactly I was going to accomplish this, but I was determined to get it done.

To keep my motivation and adrenaline going, I would think of all the advantages of making my own beats. For one, I wouldn’t have to pay a producer anymore. I would not have to give up any royalties which is a HUGE benefit, which means that is more money in my pocket. And if I get a cool microphone, I wouldn’t even have to go to the studio and pay money to record the song!

So are you wondering how I did it? Well, I had to learn some hard lessons in the process, but fortunately for you, you can skip to the easy part.  At first, I started to learn how to make my own beats using studio equipment. I had a mentor and started to take one on one lessons. I didn’t really get anywhere using that route because I didn’t have the equipment at my house to practice. So each week was literally my only practice time. Needless to say, that I didn’t learn much with the studio equipment.

After almost giving up, I saw an ad online that you could download beat making software and create your own music beats online! Well, I thought there was some type of catch or that the software would probably be too complex. Nevertheless, I attempted to try one and to my surprise it was actually very easy to use and even included video tutorials.

The video tutorials helped me out a lot because I learn better watching someone teach me something as opposed to reading a boring manual. I am so happy I decided to download beat making software and learned how to make my own beats. I am saving so much more money, having less headaches, and having so much more fun.

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

What are Private Label Products?

Private Label Products or services are typically those manufactured or provided by one company for offer under another company’s brand. Private label goods and services are available in a wide range of industries from food to cosmetics to web hosting. They are often positioned as lower cost alternatives to regional, national or international brands, although recently some private label brands have been positioned as “premium” brands to compete with existing “name” brands.

Examples include Trader Joe’s and the European grocery chains Aldi and Leader Price.

Have you heard of Private Label Rights?

It’s where the authors of the products, be they eBooks, reports, scripts or software, give up all claim to copyright. They also usually give the source codes with the product.

It means you can now do whatever you like with that product.

It’s a powerful opportunity few people take advantage of!

For example, an E-book with “LIVING GREEN” Resell Rights is usually supplied as a finished PDF file, and a sales webpage to sell it.

But if it came with Private Label Rights you could expect the raw “.Doc” file you can easily edit, and the Graphics in “.psd” (Photoshop) format so you can easily edit. For software you would have the rights to edit the script, or be supplied with source codes.

It’s what allows you to turn “Instant Video Streamer by Joe Blogs” into “Simple Web Video by Your Name” : -)

Making Music: Swaying the Crowd With your Tracks

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Your parents may never forgive you for your career choice but being a Disc Jockey is a great way to make a living. If you have a passion for music and can build a great rapport with the crowd DJ’ing might just be your calling. Think about all the advantages you will be enjoying if you choose to take it up as a regular job.

Advantage No.1: You will still be able to maintain and manage a Full-time job. Most DJ’s play at night, since the hottest spot for action, the clubs are busier during nighttime. As a result you can work wherever you like during the day and then finally head off to the club at end the day on a musical note.

Advantage No.2: The job pays handsomely, and for almost no effort on your part. If you are a music enthusiast playing good tracks and making them sound better should be a cakewalk for you.

Advantage No.3: Total freedom in your work zone and an equal amount of space to help spread your creative wings. DJ’ing ensures a quick and easy flow of money. Gigs are popular and thus most DJ’s make money hand on fist. With the cash flow taken care of you can easily try out new things to suit your own creative taste.

Advantage No.4: Whether you are playing at a club or at a wedding you will be getting oodles of those complimentary drinks and food items constantly, so party on Bro.

If DJ’ing sounds like your cup of tea here are a few pointers. Begin by broadening your musical horizon. As a DJ you will be expected to play a lot of music, many of which may not suit your personal taste. To equip yourself for this challenge get your hand on all the music you possibly can.

As you probably know not all music works on the dance floor. Decide what is to be your forte, is it Trance that you specialize in? Or is it Hip-Hop? Are you eager to experiment with funk? Or rap?

For anyone looking to be a DJ, good music recording software is a must. A number of top DJ’s also have his or her own recording studios but this is obviously not an option for everybody. If you do have access to a recording studio however, do make good use of it.

Now, the rest of your requirements will depend on whether you are looking to be placed in a disco or a club or whether you choose to be mobile. Mobile DJs play for various events such as high school reunions, parties, socials, proms, weddings, private parties etc. They usually carry their sound recordings in some preferred medium, such as MP3, midi file etc. on compact discs or vinyl records or in MP3 compatible devices such as an iPod. To playback the recorded music mobile DJ’s require at least 2 playback devices so as to ensure continuous playback.

On the other hand if you are a permanent DJ at a club or a disco you will have your own console with a turntable, and will thus not have to carry your own playback devices.

So what are you waiting for, if music be the food of love go ahead and play on. And this time watch the crowd sway to your tune!
