How To Make A Style Or Unique Sound

Posted: 9th April 2012 by Young Ave in Home, Tipz

Itz every producerz goal to be able to make something nobody else can, and to develop dat perfect sound. Some find there sound when they first start makin beatz while otherz find it later through experience. Anyway I have some tipz dat should be able to help any producer develop they’re sound.

  1. What stylez n soundz do u like? – (Obvious I Know) Figure out what u like da most n want to get into. Listen to it a lot n try to dissect it. Try to remake thingz from yo favorite producerz or songz to learn techniquez. Do diz until u feel dat ur ready to create yo own style or if u feel u can skip it go to step 2.
  2. Pick yo favorite or most important soundz – Out of all the beatz u made n listened to make a personal drumkit out of da soundz u like or use da most. (Diz includez snarez, handclapz, bassdrum,bassline,whistle,snythz,sound effectz,bellz,soundfrontz,pluginz,etc) Now u wanna take yo soundz n make beatz only usin dem..I suggest 5 at first to see how u it goes. If it goes well pat yoself on da back n keep makin beatz wit dat same style so u can undastand it n develop it more. If u aint feelin it add or change some of your soundz around n try again until thingz are soundin decent.
  3. Challenge yo sound to make it betta – now dat u have a style dat definez u(no homo) itz time to make it betta or take it to a different level. Diz’ll set u apart from havin a generic or predictable sound. Some examplez are:  snare rollz,dropz,bridgez, melody style, n hi hatz.
  4. Pratice, practice, practice – From diz point datz all u can do until u satisfied wit yo sound n itz where u want it to be.

 

I hope diz waz helpful to a lot of producerz havin trouble. If u have any suggestionz or ideaz feel free to leave a comment

Over 20 Ways To Fight Producerz Block!!!!

We all been there before. Wetha u can make beatz fast or slow sometimez u get stuck n don’t know what to do. I’ve been down dat road many timez. However I figured out a couple thingz dat may get u back on track n add inspiration to your project. Also feel to tell us what u do when u get stuck.

 

  1. Listen to something datz similar to what your makin wetha itz a beat u already made or a song from somebody u listen to.
  2. Change your effectz to make thingz sound different.
  3. Add dropz n variationz to beatz.
  4. Realize whatz repetitive about your beatz so u can stop doin it.
  5. Relax, try to relieve yo stress because it could hold you back.
  6. Listen to songz u like n see whatz missin from yourz, n pay attention to patternz or melodies.
  7. Get new sound effectz, drumz, n vstz n your library.
  8. Let someone hear n share they opinion.
  9. Upload da incomplete beat n listen to it.
  10. Are your always melodies simple n limited, if they are consider piano excersizez, or  lessonz.
  11. Make a list of 10 thingz u need to change about your beatz n follow thru ertime u make a beat or fix one.
  12. Get drunk..ha ha
  13. Take your time, erbeat wont take da same amount of time.
  14. Try to make your beatz usin a formula usin partz (Ex: melody, background, drumz, bass,effectz).
  15. If u cant fa some reason make 1 beat at one time dedicate yourself to a few beatz before movin on to prevent wasted ideaz n time.
  16. Put a time limit on da beat or partz of your beat to stay time efficient n focused.
  17. Try to make one of your favorite beatz. U can get inspiration or learn something datz valuable.
  18. Add extra reverb to soundz..may sound simple but it can definitely make a difference.
  19. Create your own personal style.
  20. Put together a drumkit wit most of da soundz u use n need to make it easier to create what u want.
  21. Is it a simple beat? All beatz don’t have to be complex. Ironically addin less thingz to a beat can make it betta sometimes.
  22. Listen for holez or partz dat feel naked. Sometimez a good beat can become a excellent beat juz from da background soundz u hardly hear.

Wanna Understand Fruity Loopz a lil better? Ofcourze u do. I found a pdf for da FL Studio Bible. Itz for da older versionz but itz still very useful. If I find a newer version I’ll post dat too also az well.

Do I really need to say anything? Didn’t think I’d do. Diz anotha dope mixtape from Fabolous.

Well az u all may know diz iz like da 20th time I put da site back up, but I’m proud to say dat itz back fa good diz time. I apologize fa da inconvenience n confusion. All of da previous post and features will return soon, and all drumkitz are n da “DRUMZ” section az uzual. Thankz fa coming back or visitin if ur new.

Diz a classic freestyle battle between Serious Jones and Murda Mook. If u aint heard diz before u definitely need to check it out. Punchlinez n metaphorz all day.

Az a producer I don’t even have to explain how important it iz to know your way around a keyboard, and if you know how to play the piano it’ll DEFINITELY benefit u.  I admit I can’t play da piano fa shit but I’ve always wanted to learn n haz search for many wayz to learn on my own. After trial and error I discovered something called Synthesia. I call it “Piano Hero” becuz itz basically a piano version of Guitar Hero..n u actually use da real instrument..n actually learn how to play it..ha ha..To download Synthesia go to www.synthesiagame.com or click on da link below.  If u want extra songz to learn they offer it for an additional fee which iz undastandable or u can find da MIDI file on da innernet n play dam near any song ever. Guess what else? U don’t even need a MIDI keyboard to play it! (I really suggest u get one doe) Fuckin bananaz I know. If u don’t have a MIDI keyboard u can mess around on da computer keyboard until u get one. I have a M-Audio KeyRig 49 n got it from Guitar Center fa like $100 or cheaper. (My nigga Q put me up on dat n 10th grade) To me datz da best solution if u want something affordable with enuff keyz. If u know something more efficient leave a comment. I think diz iz perfect for anybody dat wantz to learn on they’re own, improve there skillz, or not be bored to death with tedious ass finger drillz(Finger drill..ha ha). Even doe it’z an effective game u won’t be playin da piano overnight. U gotta put time n effort into it, like when u havin sex wit someone u actually like. I definitely think diz iz a good tool to bring out dat extra talent u know u have. Finger drill.

Az we all may know da release of new jordanz can mean a few thingz. For some it meanz another opportunity to get a dope pair of shoez, a chance to add more exclusive shit to your collection, a chance to flex on your peerz(urban youthz like to say dat), a chance to flip(sell) da shoez for a profit, or a chance fa mutha fuckaz to lose they gah dam mind. Wit all dat bein said itz obvious dez shoez are n high demand n more than likely expensive. For this reason people go to extreme measurez to get dem. A good example of diz iz a recent Air Jordan release of da Retro XI Concord’z shown below:

They are a nice pair of kickz(I aint gon lie). However some things dat happen cuz of da wild demand iz crazy. Iz it da company or Michael Jordanz fault? Ofcourze not. Itz completely up to people to make they own smart n reasonable decisionz. Da Jordan craze haz been a lifestyle for a lot of black people since da first pair came out.  For a lot of black people (mostly teenz n young adultz) havin da nice expensive shoez iz a way to show status or be superior  by havin an impressive collection or juz bein fresher then otha niggaz. Diz iz very important to da youth so they’re more likely to do anything they can to get da shoez. Knowin diz itz not about da shoez. Itz about bein noticed n bein relevant or “cool”…or “not lame”. So dez shoez n anything dat will display superior status iz n high demand. Same shit wit clothez n jewelry. Da more expensive da better. Da thing about Jordanz iz dat sometimes they’re limited n they come out often so itz constantly a chance fa niggaz to show they ass. Now dat we know why Jordanz are desired so much n da black community(or hood) iz it more of a lifestyle or a burden? I say dat itz a lifestyle dat CAN be a burden. Itz only a burden if people let it be one by letting da craze consume dem. Niggaz gotta break from dat mentality n put dat energy towardz something more important. Nike or Michael Jordan ain’t made a big deal out of it cuz they job iz to put da product out n make money. Not preach to niggaz, not lower pricez, not address attackz, robberies, n murderz, n not make u a betta person. Get yo shit togetha people!
