How to Add Hit Making Value to Your Productions

Apr 24, 2012 by strat - Comments Off on How to Add Hit Making Value to Your Productions

Whether you are a rapper, singer, producer or filmaker, you need great quality music for your productions. These days there are plenty options for those of you involved in creative industries. You can buy beats online, license royalty free music, license music from established artists (highly costly) or simply make the music yourself. No matter which method you choose, the music in your productions needs to be of good quality. I get seriously annoyed if I’m watching a movie or TV show and they’re using some painfully generic sounding background music!

In the above video clip I present a new sample pack called Radio UberStarz Vol 1. It features 5 Hip Hop/R&B/Pop construction kits which are perfect for any of the aforementioned uses. Artists who usually buy beats online can use kits like these if they are in the mood (and have the capacity) to be more creative, as these kits give you more flexibility than just using an mp3. Producers can use these loops to add to or inspire their own beats. A producer is NOT necessarily the guy who plays all the instruments in a beat. That guy would be called a composer, musician or simply just beatmaker. A producer is the person with the overall creative vision for a project. He decides what goes where and how it should sound. Loops and samples have long been a big part of a true producer’s arsenal (If you play many instruments or compose your own beats from scratch, that’s great too!).

Take some time out to check out the loops and samples in the kit featured here, and perhaps some of my other kits. They are proven, trusted by other producers and can easily help you add that hit-making sound to your productions

Why Even Other Producers Want My Beats

The graphic above is the artwork for one of our top selling loop packs. If we never mentioned it before, one of the major things we do is create and sell royalty free loops and sample packs, which are bought mostly by other producers. Interesting right? So we basically make beats for artists to buy online as well as beats that producers use in their own projects to create beats.

What this says is that our sound is in demand by producers, many of whom artists turn to when they’re  looking to buy beats online. This particular product is now at #23 on the ProducerLoops Top 30 sellers charts. These loops are used in:

  • Major Label placements
  • Advertisements
  • Television shows
  • Movies

Hopefully this gives you a clearer idea of the all-around good quality of our productions and our reputation. As an artist, buying beats from us, at our highly affordable prices, is sort of like cutting out the middleman since we are among the select few who create a lot of the samples, loops and production material that many other beatmakers use.

So don’t just randomly buy beats online, do your research and work with producers with proven musical quality so good that even other producers buy it!

CAN’T FIND BEATS ONLINE? MAKE THEM YOURSELF….WITH A LITTLE HELP

Are you a true independent music artist? Do you search online to buy the right beats or even seek out local producers to no avail? If you’re like me then you fancy yourself a true “do-it-yourself-er” when it comes to music. These days, the indie artist is not just an artist. He or she is also the recording engineer/producer/beatmaker/mix engineer/chief cook and bottle washer. It seems as though this is an evolution which came hand in hand with the advent of new and more affordable software and hardware for making music. Additionally, rates at large commercial studios and prices charged by big name producers are usually too hot for the average indie artist.

In steps producers like me. Guys who are familiar with the situation simply because well…we are artists too and we face the same problems. I started making rap beats and learning how to record and mix because I was in a rap group and we need access to those things but could not afford the professionals. Because I am in such a position to empathize, I am able to do two important things:

While the latter may be more suitable for producers, recall that we just established that many indie artists are also the producers of their own material. Thus, loop pack such as the dubstep samples in the player above are perfect for artists as well as dedicated producers. Sometimes this may even be a better option than buying beats online, for the following reasons:

  • The high quality (WAV, ACID, APPLE) loops can be mixed and matched, added to other instruments or manipulated in many ways and therefore are more flexible than just beat in mp3 format.
  • The loops are sold royalty free so it is very similar to leasing a beat
  • The price is very affordable and the value is great because a loop pack will contain 5 or more beat kits.

DON’T JUST BUY BEATS, BUY TOOLS FOR YOUR CREATIVITY

Just to sum it all up, I must say that there is NOTHING wrong with buying beats online. Many artists are simply just vocalists and prefer to keep things simple. However, for those who like to get hands on and show a different level of creativity, loops and sample packs are a viable option. You get a substantial number of royalty free loops in each pack that can be combined and manipulated in countless ways or simply looped up and used as is!
