Software Reviews

May 3rd, 2012

In case you don’t know which software should you use to start pumping out beats then continue reading.

If you are just starting out and you have trouble finding the right software then I know how you’re feeling! I know from my experience that the well known beat makers are hard to work with and not so much ago I was getting mad fast due to the fact that I wasn’t able to see some results (a song made).

So i started doing more and more research and the results are presented below…

#1

I use this software for a few months now and I’ve produced a few beats, which you can find on this website. You can read the full review here. The following features make Dubturbo the #1 option for starting your beat making career:

User interface: 

Quality of sounds: 

Ease of use:

#2

As you can see, the BTV Solo has a harder to use interface, thing which is reflected in the ease of using this software.

User interface: 

Quality of sounds: 

Ease of use: Overall:

 

 

#3

This is an old beat maker that everybody knows about. But in the same time, every beat producer out there knows that it’s not something you should even look at if you want to start making quality beats in a short period of time.

Other beats made with Dubturbo!

April 22nd, 2012

You’ve heard about Dubturbo but you don’t know if it’s for you?

Well I’ve decided to gather some beats made with this software, and they don’t include my first beat:

Do you like the beats? You can start doing them too because Dubturbo comes with full training and it also provides a marketplace where you can sell your beats (free for Dubturbo users).

Best software to make beats – How to choose it yourself!

March 3rd, 2012

best software to make beats

This article won’t promote any software to make beats so i am not telling you what’s the best software to make beats…Instead it’s about how you need to choose a beat software that fits your needs the best and thus making it the best for you.

As I already said… not all software programs can although we know that all the people say their software is the easiest to use!

-So, if you are a newbie and you didn’t make any beats before you need to choose something that has an easy to use interface. Even if you are more advanced in making beats, I still recommend that you should use an easy software but that might be somehow impossible, because even the easiest software can be hard to use if you don’t know how to use it and that brings us to the next chapter.

-Easy to understand tutorials! You need them and it’s better if the software developer can provide them because he knows best how his software is working, so he should be the one showing you how to use the software.

-Features included with the software. The best software to make beats will allow you to have multiple tracks as well as an easy to understand Sequencer and the posibility to use your keyboard for mixing beats and sounds.

-Sounds library needs to be included! Some software programs will provide sounds with your purchase but some software won’t do that and you could end up paying more for the sounds than you payed for the software, which is not cool at all!

-The price is also very important, especially for someone who is just starting out to make some beats. You can’t go and pay hundreds of dollars, or even thousands for a software to make beats if you don’t know how to use it properly. I am not saying that you need to pay a lot if you want to make your own beats but you can if you want to.

Now… how bad you want to start making some beats and even flip some for some fast cash?

Dubturbo Review – Best beat making software ?

March 1st, 2012

best beat making softwareYou probably know that all the internet mentions Dubturbo one way or another… and that’s why in the following lines you will see the pros and cons of the Dubturbo beat making software… and in the end you decide if it’s the best beat making software or not.

I’ve been playing with Dubturbo in the last few months now and I’ve constantly improved the quality of the songs that i’ve put out.

If you have little or no experience in making beats and you want to know exactly what’s all the fuss about then here’s what you should know about Dubturbo:

To the point Dubturbo review

Easy to use! The interface is friendly and you will get used to it very fast. You can check my first song < Believe it or not…I’ve made it in less than an hour after buying Dubturbo!

High Definition Sound Quality! The songs that you make using Dubturbo will make anyone think that’s made in an expensive studio.

Training provided! Some software creators don’t care about your experience in making beats (hip hop, rap, house, whatever) and that’s why they don’t give a shit on providing some training. Dubturbo sets itself apart from that crowd because you will get training with how to use the software and how to create beats. Also… if you have any trouble you can contact the support team and you’ll get a fast response.

Price! The final thing, one that will make you happy, is the price: You see… Norb, the creator of the software, and his team don’t want to make a fortune off Dubturbo and that’s why the price is less than $50. You might already know that other beat making software programs with these features start at hundreds of dollars.

Not DUBTURBO!

How to sell beats and make a lot of dough?

January 8th, 2012

You are stuck? You make very good beats using Dubturbo or any other professional software but you just can’t sell them? Or you don’t sell enough?

Then you need to market your brand! You need a marketing approach that make your targeted clients go crazy and get your beat right then!

Here’s 1 marketing solution for selling more beats for a long time from now on!

1. You make a youtube channel. You customize it a bit and brand it with the name you want.

2. You start recoding High Quality videos and even make clips with your beats. You need to position your beats as something cool and desired by including cool stuff in the clips (which can be even powerpoint presentations!).

Why do you think all the hip hopers wear bling and drive expensive cool cars in their clips? Yeah.. I know a Lamborghini is expensive but you can still rent one… or even get a picture with one and make slides using it. Still too hard to do? Even an Iphone is cool! And you probably have one right next to your right now.

3. You make a facebook page and start to promote it to your friends and all the people you know!

 

These 3 steps will give you exposure and clients for your beats and songs. If you really want to make a lot of cash and you really love making beats and songs….then YOU can make more than $5.000 a month.

Here’s  a guide that goes into more details and teaches you exactly what you need to do make 5 grand a month! It’s not free but producer knows what his talking about!

Exactly how could you make your own beats and make 1,000′s every month?

January 7th, 2012

If you didn’t know before… you could make $ 4-5k a month by selling your beats online without any headaches!

1.First thing you need to do is start making beats! You can’t sell beats if you don’t make them so get a beat making software and get your “feet wet”.

2.Then you go to a beat directory and open an account. Example: Soundclick or Premiumbeat.

3.Then you upload your beats and start making money! The prices for royalty free beats start at $19/ download but it depends on the beat directory how much money you actually make with your beats. Beats sell even for $80 / download!

Tip on choosing the beat directory: find the one with the most traffic and highest prices! Of course you could list your beats on multiple royalty free directories so you could have more chances of making more money off your beats.

How much you need to sell to make 4,000/month? just 50 but consider the fact that you can’t sell $80 beats if you don’t have some experience. So let’s say you start with $20 / download. For $1000 /month you would need only 50 downloads and I’ve seen songs downloaded for even 500 times in a lifespan of 6-12 months. And that was just one song!

Just be sure that your beats and cool and that you use the best beat making software! If you take my recommendation: Dubturbo then you should know that they have a beat directory membership included with the software.

Make your own beats the best way! Not the free way!

January 5th, 2012

So you want to make your own beats and you don’t know how to start?

I already outlined that you need to get yourself a beat making software but there more than that. If you don’t have anything to do with music and you can’t learn either then this isn’t for you.

Sure…you might make a few awful beats with a free beat maker which has 2 tracks and 2 types of drum and key kits but you can’t go far with something like that and you will never find out how high can you get just by using a shitty old software that only installs spyware on your PC.

Now… I am not saying go and get Dubturbo because I have it and I use it. I am just saying that you can’t make gold out of shit. You know it, I know it!

If you really want to make it in the music industry and you can’t commit to using one good beat making software then I’m sorry but you won’t be eligible for my next post where I will guide you through the process of making at least $1000 per month from your own beats. And no…I ain’t joking this time. Just read the next article that will show up on the website.

Want to make hip hop beats that everybody loves?

January 2nd, 2012

 

Want to make hip hop beats and you don’t know where to start?

You might already know that every hip hop song starts with a beat. In most songs, the beat is the one which makes the song and the singer famous.

A hip hop artist thinks about the beat behind the lyrics because that’s the way they roll in hip hop!

 

So the question is how you can make a great beat?

If you never used a beat making software until now then that might be bad for you because that’s what exactly you need.

- You get a beat making software. I recommend the best one which is also affordable and it comes with more than just a software.

-You start using it and understand it while you also develop and test your talent.

-After that there are 2 directions you can follow…

-best way for becoming famous over night: You make a channel on Youtube and start uploading your beats!

-best way for some quick cash: You add your songs to a royalty free sound marketplace ( memberships included in Dubturbo). I’ve seen beats in these marketplaces that were downloaded over 500 times at a price of $ 5-10 a pop! So that’s almost $5,000 but some fees apply and must be payed to the marketplace after the songs are downloaded by the buyer.

-Or you can even follow both of them in the same time and you make some quick cash and in the same time you also start to build your celebrity level on Youtube.

If you don’t have an idea how should your first song needs to be, you can get something that’s already on the market and add your own touch to it. You know? You might already have something that you like but you think there’s something missing.

So why not modify it and upload it to youtube? If you manage to make a cool video along with your song you might find yourself all over the internet the next day! So why wait? Go and make some beats…

Newbie or Pro – Why you need to use a beat making software?

December 28th, 2011

It doesn’t matter your level…noob, intermediate, professional… you need to use a beat making software, the best you can get.

And I will tell you why in the next few lines so read them carefully if you want to stand a chance in front of all the people that want to become someone in the tough music industry!

For the newbies the best thing to do is take a scenario:

You don’t know exactly how is this stuff working. You think you have talent (maybe even have a good voice) and you want to see if you can become the new Drake.

You probably don’t have the money to make your in-house studio with all the devices and professional equipment and you don’t have the money to pay for renting a local studio. Even if you have the cash to make or rent a studio you should just start by using a beat making software because Dubturbo (the best beat making software in our opinion) is way less than $ 100. You can learn to make your own beats/negative and you can modify everything you want as you want.

Getting a beat maker is absolutely the best solution not only because you won’t invest much but also because you will have the option to modify everything and to actually learn how to make beats and music. If you had gone to a studio they wouldn’t have given you this option unless you payed them for every minute of their time.

Still wondering how much it costs to rent a sound studio?

An example of a studio in New York, not very fancy: $2,500/day – $5,000/weekend – $17,500/week.

Are you nuts and actually thinking of renting one? Then you need to know another thing: That cost won’t include the staff…only the hardware and the location!

The 2nd case that we want to discuss is what happens if you are a almost a pro?

You know how to make music, you have a great voice, you have 2-3 songs on the market that didn’t make you money because you didn’t know how this music stuff works but you think that your next song is a hit and it will make you a STAR!

How could you make a song with a low budget?

Use the best beat making software that you can find. Get yourself some add-on kits for more sounds and start making your own beat.

That might be a shock to you but nowadays even professional studios use mixing software programs nowadays. Why do you think? It’s cheaper, easier, faster and it provides way more quality than recording with a band and 100′s of instruments! Check what this one can do…

In a future post I will tell you how you could make money without becoming the next hip hop star! So stay tuned :)
