What has been the crutch of so many mainstream artists these days has been kept a secret for so long by producers. Let's let the cat out of the bag - the secret is called the Antares Auto-Tune computer program. The first artist to pioneer this program was Cher in "Believe", her #1 selling hit of all time. She used this program on her chorus vocals, which actually added some depth and originality to the song. Low and behold the double-edged sword: technology.

Antares Auto-Tune is used by artists to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed singers to perform perfectly tuned vocal tracks without the need of singing in tune, as well as in the recording studio. While its main purpose is to slightly bend sung pitches to the nearest true semitone, Auto-Tune can be entirely programmed to bring a voice to a specified key controlled by a keyboard on or off the stage - while the singer attempts to sing, the keyboardist plays the notes of the voice that will be heard in a computerized version - hence the robot sounding voice. You'll notice that a lot of mainstream rappers are beginning to sound like robotic cousins as they use this program to its limit in every vocal and every note that they try to bend from their off-key melodies. We all cringe when we hear that our favorite athletes have been using performance enhancing drugs, but seriously, in the music business - technology can become a drug for many artists. In fact, a couple artists who are Auto-Tune addicts are T-Pain & Lil Wayne. Kanye West, Jamie Foxx and even Jay-Z have dabbled with the Auto-Tune in the studio and during performances. People are growing sick of this sound as it takes the musical talent out of the performing artist. What you have now are producers playing major back seat roles in their artists' music, like puppeteers pulling strings literally. What could simply be a boring Ben Stein vocal could instantly have Simon Cowell's mouth watering with the Antares Auto Tune program running in the background. What hurts America as a culture are artists who use Antares Auto Tune and are also winning awards. Antares Auto Tune is a fad, and it will die out quick, and we will once remember when 25% of the pop music on the radio was Auto-Tuned because we thought it sounded good. One thing we won't remember is whose auto-tuned voice that was, as over time they will begin to sound all the same.

Don't believe me... This video will have you laughing like never before. Some innovative producers decided to spice up C-SPAN with the Anatares Auto-Tune program and demonstrate how you can turn any ordinary voice into a #1 hit.

How to Become a Hip Hop Music Producer

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Rapping is a very lucrative business, but hip hop producers work behind the scenes, creating instrumental tracks for a record company, or just for fun. There are many types of producers, but they all follow the same basic steps.

Steps

1. Love hip hop. The industry is tough and ruthless, and without a deep love for the game you will never be good or famous.
2. Learn about music. This is a never-ending process, so don't ever think you're "done" at any point. Learn about all different styles of music, not just modern hip hop. Learn the roots, the theory and the great musicians for many different genres. No style should be neglected, not even country.
3. Determine what equipment you will need. This is a very complicated step, as there are infinite combinations of hardware and software. I would recommend FL Studio's demo version of their production software, if you wish to try production out with paying any money. If you're sampling, be sure to think of how you will access your samples (ie turntable, computer, etc). If you're more interested in composing with synths and virtual instruments, a MIDI Keyboard is an excellent investment.
4. Experiment. Set up a easy kick-highhat-snare-highhat track, and mess around with playing notes over the beats. This should be a period for getting familiar with your equipment. It will take about a month at the very least to acquire real skill with you equipment
5. Start refining your beats. Read the manual and begin using the Google search waaayy too much. Learn about EQ, effects and quantization, and begin to use them.
6. When you've got other people nodding their heads to your music, start promoting yourself. Use sites such as rocbattle.com, soundclick.com, givemebeats.net, and cdbaby.com to your advantage. Look up rappers, local or just on the internet, and see if you can produce a mixtape.

Tips

• Don't limit yourself: know the four elements of hip hop. Breakdancing, rapping, graffiti and turntablism.
• Learning to beatbox will help to compose beats anywhere.
• Make sure you volume each instrument correctly. Louder is not necessarily better.
• If you like old school hip-hop make your snare a few notes lower
• Watch tutorial videos on YouTube.
• EQ will make or break an only OK track.
• Don't be a hater. As a producer, beef will not earn you any respect.
• Study successful producers. It sounds corny, but sit down with your top 25 or 50 instrumental tracks, and take notes as to why they are so appealing.
• Try everything. Nothing is "wrong". If people like it, or even if only you like it, its "right".
• Recommended software: FL Studio, Cool Edit Pro, Logic, Reason, Ableton Live, Audacity.
• Recommended hardware: MPC series, Korg synthesizers, MIDI keyboards, Technics turntables, professional production headphones and studio monitors.

Warnings

• Don't expect to make a living out of this unless your willing to work the hardest you have ever worked in your life. It's not an easy market to enter into, unless you are very determined and will not give up easily you might remember might just make it---it is a crowded market.
• Don't get discouraged by critics.
• Don't develop an ego; it embarrasses you in the long run.
• And keep at it. If you are sure this is a passion you wish to develop, then make a way to integrate it into your life until it is mature enough to be where you want it.
• The software for FL Studio is (about) 200MB, and it is well worth the price. An outstanding program, especially for creative users. You can develop your skills to make a sturdy tool out of it.
• Do not ask a question about how to do something without reading the manual or searching the internet first. Hip hop producers will be very helpful if you follow this one rule.

Things You'll Need

• Determination
• Either production software (FL Studio, Reason, Ableton, Logic) or hardware (MIDI keyboard, MPC (any variant))
• A manual for above product that you've read at least twice
• Music. Lots of it. Which you know by heart.

How to Make an Instrumental on Fruity Loops 8.0 or Reason 4.0

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Many hip-hop lovers give credits to singers and artists, but a few of them give credits to beat makers who are also known as instrumental makers. Beat making is a tough job especially when one has a mediocre knowledge about the processes and the right programs needed to compose a good melody. Eight main steps are required in order to compose a good hip-hop beat.

Steps

1. You will need to have a computer. (It could be a desktop computer or a lap top). The computer should have at least Windows VISTA or Windows XP and they should not be a Macintosh brand (because the Macintosh platform is not supported). Another tool a beat maker should have, is a MIDI Keyboard. The keyboard allows you to play notes by linking it onto your computer using a USB interface. A necessary tool to have if you want to keep up with the sound quality and to stay away from distortion is a good monitor speaker. I would recommend the “Alesis m1-Active Mk2 Powered Studio Monitors” because I’m really familiar with it. Once all those equipments are available at your disposal, then you are ready for the next step.
2. Though there are many companies claiming to be making the best beat making software, there are only two programs that a professional beat maker may use to compose a beat in today’s music industry. The first program is called “Fruity Loops” and the second one is “Reason 4.0”. Those two programs have many tools in common and therefore they need to be bought together. Having the right programs to start an instrumental is vital for beat makers because as a hip-hop beat maker, one should be able to captivate an audience of hip-hop lovers as well as hip-hop artists. Those two programs both have the exact sounds, groove and quality that people in today’s music industry are using to make millions.
3. Now that we have the two best programs to compose good melodies, it could be really annoying not to have both programs rewired into one program. That is where the third step known as “Rewiring Reason 4.0 into Fruity Loops” comes in handy. This technique allows the beat maker to drag Reason’s sounds into the Fruity Loops software. To start rewiring, first open Fruity loops and click on “channel” then “add one”. Now you’ll see a lot of options presented by the software but since we are rewiring something we need to click on “rewired”. There should be a red rectangle displaying “rewired” with a green light next to it appearing on the sequencer. Click on the “rewired” sign on the sequencer and you should see a big rectangle device named “channel settings-Rewired” displaying a rewire image in red. Look for “Client” and select “Reason” because we are rewiring it to Fruity Loops. Then after that, click on “show panel” to open Reason 4.0. Now Reason is opened, click on “create” and select “mixer 14:2”. After that step, click on “create” again and select one synthesizer or a sampler between “subtractor synthesizers, thor synthesizers, malstrom synthesizers, nn19 digital sampler and nn-xt advanced sampler”. In this case let’s say I choose subtractor synthesizers for example. Next step is to go back into Fruity Loops and select “midi options”. Now you should have 3 channels that are “hardware interface II, mixer 1 and subtractor 1”.Now remember that the order of those channels matters a lot (notice how the synthesizer name subtractor is third). Click on the “hardware interface II” and then click “add/change” then close the box by clicking “ok”. Now you need to go to “channels” in Fruity Loops, click on “add one” again and this time select “midi out”. Click on “midi out” and change the channel to “3” so you could use the subtractor. Now if you use your keyboard and play some notes you should be able to hear some sounds from Reason 4.0.
4. After the rewiring step, set up a tempo of the type of hip-hop beat you’re looking forward to create by using Fruity Loops. On your screen you should have a default tempo that is 140bmp; however, 140bmp is used for Techno beats, so you should reduce it by right clicking on it then choose 110bmp or less. Your tempo matters because it helps your timing to be more accurate.
5. Use your ears when you’re composing a melody because if it doesn’t sound right to you what makes you think it’s going to sound to your audience? If you don’t like the sound you’re hearing, make sure you go to Reason and switch manually the sounds. For example the default sound of our “subtractor” is bass guitar but you can switch it into an acoustic guitar or a trumpet and vice versa. Every change you make on an instrument is going to affect your Fruity Loops pattern. It takes a couple of times for anybody to really know what instruments you want in your melody and therefore, it’s okay to play with it and get familiar with new sounds. The more time you spend on your instruments the more inspiration you’re acquiring. My main concern for beginners is that all sounds do not get along. Let’s say I picked an electric guitar and I add some harmonica into the melody. That type of mistake is usually made because beginners love a specific sound of a song or a beat that they heard and they try to add all of those sounds into their melody. Again Use your ear a lot because you cannot force sounds to get along. If they don’t get along by nature, there’s no way they will get along at all.
6. After you’re satisfied with your melody, look for the right percussions. A good way to make this step easy is to listen to your favorite hip-hop song with the exact tempo that your beat has for example and try and pay attention to the percussions only. You’ll notice that most hip-hop songs drums are repetitive but catchy. Once you know how you want your drums to sound like, go to Fruity Loops and browse into percussions section on the left of the screen under hip-hop and drag drums, snares, and hi-hats into your pattern that contains the rewiring. Then for each one of those percussions use your metronome to help you set up a tempo that your percussions must follow. Again this requires a lot of tries, and familiarity and like I said earlier the more you try the more you understand the process.
7. One error most beginners tend to make is using one single pattern that contains everything. Fruity Loops gives you enough space and an infinite number of patterns one could work on. Knowing how to generate the space Fruity Loops gives you is necessary because a professional beat maker would use up to 10 or more patterns for different instruments or percussions. For example you could set up a pattern for your guitar melody, a pattern for your drums, a pattern for your trumpet melody and a trumpet for your snares. You’ll notice the more you advance into beat making, setting things apart is important and it allows you to set up different volumes for different instruments just by using the mixer provided by Fruity Loops. Let’s say I have my drums in pattern 5 but for some reason it’s not loud enough. All I need to do is just look for the mixer then click on channel 5 then add some the volume until I feel like it’s adequate for my beat.
8. Finally when you’re done with your instrumental, make sure you use you mix everything and lay your patterns down into your play list. Listen to your beat over and over again or ask the closest listeners in your household to listen to it so they can give you their opinions. If you feel confident with your beat, click on “file” and export your beat as an mp3 file. Make sure you give it a name.

Tips

• The art of practise is what makes everybody better at anything. Just coz you cannot achieve a goal today, doesnt mean you should give up! Give it a lot of tries and I promise you, you'll make it!

How to Produce Music at Home

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

With new technology, it is becoming more and more popular to make music at home. You can easily start producing without spending a fortune.

Things You Will Need

1. Computer: Since you are viewing this website, I don't think a computer is a requirement you should be too worried about. However, your computer should be fairly up-to-date. It should have at least 512 MB of RAM and a processor speed of 2.0 GHz or more. RAM is very important; the more RAM the better.
2. Digital Audio Workstation (DAW): This is just a computer software program that allows you to produce and sample sounds then sequence them. Don't feel intimidated...This is very easy to do. I use many different DAWs, but I recommend using FL Studio for beginners. If you get more into it, I recommend using Reason as well. A demo of FL Studio is available for download, and it can do EVERYTHING the full version can do except save your work....or....You can buy a synthesizer for $3000 that does everything....you might want to stick to the computer and DAW.
3. Sounds: You will definitely want a huge library of audio samples. VSTs are like virtual synthesizers. There are many different VSTs that produce all kinds of sounds. Google "free VSTs" and you will find many free VSTs; the better ones cost money. Soundfonts are files that contain different sound samples of instruments. You can find thousands of free soundfonts online. You can access thousands of free soundfonts at sf2midi.com but you have to sign up first (it's free) The only thing about that website is that they limit your download speed since you're a free user. Otherwise they have a great library of soundfonts. Propellorheads Reason uses its own proprietary "Refills" for sounds. There are hundreds of these available; each refill holds MANY different sounds.
4. External Hard Drive: As your collection of sound samples, soundfonts, VSTs, Reason Refills, etc. grows, you will need more memory to accommodate it. I bought a 750 gb hard drive for this reason and it's nearly full. If you want to buy one, I recommend buying one off of eBay; this will save you a lot.
5. Midi Controller: This is basically a keyboard (like a piano) that you use to control the note inputs in your DAW.
6. Audio Interface: This is basically a bridge between your midi controller and your computer. You could spend hundreds of dollars on an mbox, or you could spend $10 for a midi-usb adapter on eBay...go with the adapter. The only real advantage of the mbox is that there is a slot where you can add a microphone that runs on fantom power.
7. Microphone: A microphone is not necessary, but if you want to add vocals to your beats you will want one. Don't buy an expensive microphone. Buy a usb microphone, like the Samson CO1U. That's what I bought and it works beautifully. If you don't buy a usb microphone, then you will need to find an expensive way to connect your microphone to your computer.
8. Headphones: If you buy a microphone, then you will need headphones with which to listen to your beats while recording your vocals; if you play your beats out load while recording, you will get feedback.

Tips

• Search YouTube for videos on how to make beats. Try searching for "FL Studio."
• You can sell your beats. There are many websites dedicated to selling beats. Here are a few:
• Thebeattrader.com
• Givemebeats.com
• Beatswagger.com
• Buythatbeat.com
