Active Studio
The effort Hip-hop & Cheap Studio
So I want to go into production hip-hop/rap/R & B and not really know How? Well, it's much easier than you may think. With only a few items, you could be on its way to becoming the next Timbaland, Dre, or The Alchemist.
So where do you start? First, it is necessary to make sure you have the appropriate software. A lot of people out there As to the blows of the sample and using other people's music, but wants to be original. In at least at first, because if you're like me, you probably want to develop their own style. Here is my list of essential software start-up you need to make time:
Reason 4.0 - Propellerhead Reason is one of the most dynamics of software that you can have in your arsenal. It is relatively inexpensive, however, allows you to produce almost any sound you can imagine through a wide range of synthesizers, drum machines and effects. It is very easy to use, and produces a powerful sound and professional. Almost all major producers have used Reason in a time of career.
Fruity Loops Studio - Many producers use Fruity Loops to create productions of everything. What really separates FL reason is that it has the ability to become in a VST instrument when used with some mixing and recording programs like Cubase or Pro Tools. (This is the crème de la crème '- But needs when you're a beginner)
Sony ACID Pro - This is a cool application that lets you manipulate the blows he has created in Reason or FL. It is easy to use, so and works perfectly on any system.
That's a lot for taking time. My choice is the reason, but as they treat all, you may find that FL Studio you like best or a combination of both. It's all about finding what you are most comfortable. Now, you have your software and have done a fantastic ill. What now? The following is my recommendation for recording and mixing software:
Adobe Audition - This used to be called Cool Edit Pro Use a very simple interface in which you are able to upload your songs beat and record their vocal tracks. This can also be great if you want to use live instruments as well of his punches.
That's really all you need for software. Something to make music, and something to record. Now, I ask, what about hardware?
Samson CO1 condenser microphone cardiod - This is a great studio microphone. It runs about $ 70 and sounds great. Be sure to get some cables, support pen, and the wind screen. (About $ 50) total.
Samson S 48v Phantom Power Supply - need to turn your microphone. Since the microphones study to create their own power, phantom power is basically the device that harnesses the power and sends it through your microphone.
Any MIDI capable keyboard - This is one of the tools to be used with Reason or Fruity Loops to make beats. Allows you to play MIDI sound files on your keyboard, rather than on the computer. Make sure you also get a Usb Midi Cable, so you can attach to your sound card.
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Interface - This sound card is impressive. It runs under a hundred dollars and allows all computers connected to your PC.
Samson Resolv 40th Active Studio Monitors - If While ordinary stereo speakers have no problem, all you hear exactly how these tracks sound when played in your mp3 player, radio, or a local club.
And that's Comment You have everything you need to get started.
