Posted by Mick LLaleBeoufey 29 November, 2009

So you make pop, dance, RB, rap, hip-hop, house or any other beats, but for some reason your drums don’t hit as tough as commercially released music and your tunes aren’t piercing thru the speakers like you want them to. This text is going to outline three simple pointers are going to help you perfect craft and get you on the right path to achievement.

1. make it simple stupid – I know you have heard this phrase before, but it’s the truth. A good piece of music is typically simple and layered with other easy elements, so making a cohesive and concentrated piece of music with many elements. The complexness of your music will naturally progress as you keep practicing and perfecting your style.

2. Learn Your Tools – Many producers have the myth of thinking that having the newest gear and music production software makes you a better producer. This is totally wrong. A classic example would be the hip-hop group Dem Franchize Boyz song “Lean Wit’ It” which was made using a $50 music production program and generated millions of dollars in sales.

Remember, there also are lots of hideous producers out there with $10000 worth or more of kit. The main point being, that its how you use your music production tools and master them, rather than the tools you have!

3. Practice, Read, Research, Interact, Repeat – there are lots of resources out there online, whether it be music production forums or general music forums. Asking people on feedback and tips is a great way to both learn and motive yourself. You will turn into a better producer thanks to the sheer competition on such forums and the knowledge that they will bounce off each other.

In summary, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that your appliances, knowledge or skills aren’t good enough. Just keep doing music and you’ll naturally progress into the producer you were always wanting to be, it doesn’t happen overnight so work diligently, and work smart.
