Online Drum Machine To Make Music Beats Use DUBturbo Beat Maker Software

BEAT MUSIC MAKER :

If your reading this then your most likely looking for an online drum machine or software you can download so you can make beats for your music. Lucky for you I have some great tips and advice on what drum machine software to use and how to use it.

Online Drum Machine To Make Music Beats Use DUBturbo Beat Maker Software

Everyone is different and will have their own preferences but when I want to make beats using my computer I like to use professional beat making software like the online drum machine and beat maker - DUBturbo. In the past I used a combination of programs like Sonic Producer and an MPC but now I have more fun and find it so much easier using DUBturbo to make beats because the program is very professional and has all the features I need to produce my music fast.

What is DUBturbo anyway?

Simply put DUBturbo is a beat sequencer program you can use to make beats on your computer that has hundreds of sounds, samples and instrumentals of just about any kind of musical instrument you can think of. I'm a really big fan of this software and here is why.

The interface is very cool and the panel layout makes it a breeze to work with. The drum machine panel has keyboard triggers that make it feel like you're using an MPC, I still use the MPC I bought but not as much because using DUBturbo you can tap in your beats on the fly using your keyboard.

Making a beat is as simple as creating some bars to work with, pressing record and then tap in your beat using the keyboard.Then loop that and repeat what you did but add a new layer over the top with a different beat. Of course you can get as technical as you want and create your beats by drawing them in but that is just a fast way to use the program.

The really good thing about this software is that it is so easy to use even the complete newbie can make pro beats. Now I'm not saying that DUBturbo is the be all and end all of beat makers but it has to be my personal favorite.

Equipment to Make Beats - The 4 Things You Need to Make Your Own Rap Beats

A Music Production Software

Equipment to Make Beats - The 4 Things You Need to Make Your Own Rap Beats

This is probably the most important piece of equipment to make beats. Your choice of software could have implications in the style you develop as a music producer. But for somebody starting from zero I would recommend to not pay too much for this yet.

Most of the peripherals needed to make beats come with light versions of popular music software. Even though the purpose is to temp you to upgrade to the more expensive versions, these light editions have more than enough sounds to keep anyone going for a long time.

If you have absolutely no experience you could check something like Sonic Pro, a very popular online program that for only .00 USD offers a sequencer, sounds, instruments and more important, video tutorials on how to make your own beats.

An Audio Interface

One of the most important reasons why to get a decent audio interface is their handling of a common problem with computers and music, latency. This is the amount of time that it takes the computer to process an incoming signal.

Latency can create very annoying issues when making beats, like playing a midi note and hearing the sound a second later. It would be extremely difficult to record live that way. Also if you want to connect instruments, external synths and drum machines, audio interfaces feature the proper inputs.

A Midi Controller

Most of today midi controllers plug to the computer via USB and are recognized automatically by most music software, requiring almost no technical knowledge to get them going.

The most popular midi controllers come in 2 flavors, keyboard or pads. The keyboard is the most popular and the most practical, but rubber pads can yield more rhythmically interesting beats. Even better is the new breed of controllers that blend both together.

Monitors

It might seem like the least important feature for someone getting started, but this depends on how much you enjoy making music. The issue lies in the reproduction of the entire frequency spectrum. Small computer speakers by default mess with the audio content, hyping up frequencies because of their inability to fully reproduce them.

Even though the monitors at beginner prices are not the full solution, as you go up in price you start to get a more realistic image of the sound you're working on. At lower prices most monitors still hype up the sound a little, but in a way that compliments music making and not video game playing.

Free Software For Music Production

BEAT MUSIC MAKER :

Free software for music production is a great way to get started in composing your own music. However you'll quickly find that as you delve into creating more and more beats the limitations of these free software applications will become apparent.

Free Software For Music Production

Getting into the music industry is extremely difficult, given it is a highly competitive market place. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of people trying to get in every day, and sadly a lot of them fail, for a number of reasons, but primarily for the poor quality of their beats. So producing quality beats is one simple step in the right direction. If you get a name for yourself as a quality beat maker then, you could potentially have producers head hunting you.

However, before you are able to mix-it-up with producers you will first need to get your beat making skills up to a reasonable level. One of the best ways to do this is to teach yourself how to use various types of computer based beat software programs. You can find some free and paid software solutions online.

A major benefit when getting into computer based beat programs is that they do not take up additional space in your music studio, like a drum machine, keyboard or musical instruments. In fact if you have a laptop then your studio becomes instantly portable, which means you can be creating beats where ever you are.

Another major benefit is that a lot of these applications come with a huge library of pre-recorded beats and midi sounds, which in some cases can replace bulky instruments like the drums, keyboard and guitars. Of course there is one proviso here, the quality of the sound depends on the software application you choose, and the capability of your sound card.

Take time to learn how to use a beat maker software application correctly. Understand how to use the features properly, and then you'll be producing the high quality music that you hear on the radio and television everyday. You'll find that you can create quality sounds in no time at all with minimal cost and a lot of fun.

A really good way of learning how to use a beat maker software program is to try to reproduce the music of one of your favorite songs. This will help you to get an appreciation for the instruments involved; how to differentiate the sounds and how to reproduce the sounds of each instrument. I've found this to be one of the best ways to learn how to produce your own beats, because you can use ideas from songs and modify them to create your own unique sound.

There are literally hundreds of different software applications available online and the rule of thumb I always use is you get what you pay for. If you don't have much cash to buy a beat making program then you could use a free audio package like Audacity. Audacity is really basic in features and does not come with pre-recorded beats, however you can create multiple tracks and save them in mp3 and wav formats. Fifty dollars will give you a reasonable software product that will come with pre-made beats and midi sounds. So start out with a free product first if your budget doesn't allow for it, then upgrade and buy a product that offers you more features. As you get good at creating music you will need to upgrade to a better software product to be competitive in the music business.

Background Music For Videos - Make Your Own Music For Your Videos

BEAT MUSIC MAKER :

I had a lot of trouble finding good background music for the videos I was making until I found a program that you can use to make your own music and now I don't have to worry about breaking copyright laws either.

Background Music For Videos - Make Your Own Music For Your Videos

When I first started making my own videos I didn't really know anything about copyright infringement or about any of the copyright laws until I submitted a video on YouTube.com and received one of those copyright infringement warning messages. After reading on some of the websites about these laws I started to think about other ways I can get music for my videos, I never really though about making my own.

I assumed you would need to either be musically minded or a be a musician to use music making software but when I done some research on music beat maker programs I was actually pretty shocked at how easy it looked to make your own music.

So I started making my own music for videos I was making and turns out everyone I show really liked the videos and the music. Now I make background music for videos and games for a small fee which makes me think I could start making a living from making music beats for people as a business of some kind. But for now it is just for fun and some spare cash here and there.

Make sure the software you choose has lots of training videos and has good reviews. There are some really good ones out there for under so you don't have to spend a lot of money to get started. Also make sure the software has plenty of sound kits and samples already built-in, this way you won't have to fork out any extra money to get the sounds you want.

If you have ever put a video on YouTube.com or any video sharing website that has someone elses music in it did you know you could be breaking the law? If you don't want to receive a nasty email like I did then I recommend you check out music making software or try and use your own music in some way.

It's really not as hard as you may think, and you will be surprised how much talent is hiding inside of you. When I first created my music for my videos I was pretty proud and my friends thought they where really good as well.

How to Make a Professional Music Video at Home

How to Create Your Own Professional Music Video from Home

How to Make a Professional Music Video at Home

Today, many who go web-surfing run into spoof music videos that get millions of views. Sadly, more than half of those people who got 1,000,000+ views missed an opportunity of earning ,000 or more from just that YouTube upload. Why is this so? I will let you know near the end of this article. Shall we get back to the topic?

For those who think it isn't possible to make a high quality music video from home like the ones you see on television, I am here to tell you that it IS possible to make even BETTER videos. You may not be able to create one as good on the first try, but again who is? It takes perfection; following these 5 steps:

Step 1: Music

Of course a music video isn't a music video without music. Find an instrumental that you want to create a song to and download it. A good program that I recommend for downloading instrumentals would be Frostwire. You can download it from frostwire.com. It is completely free to download and use. Or so it was the last time I checked. Be careful when downloading from Frostwire though. The first two or three files at the top are usually tricks, but you can easily tell them apart. The false ones usually match your search phrase word for word, letter for letter, and are lower case. Also check the file size to the right of each result. Instrumentals and songs are usually at an average file size of 1,000 Kb for each minute of a song. So if an instrumental you're looking for is about 3 minutes long, the file size should be around 3,000 Kb. The false ones at the top are usually at a small file size, around 10-30 kb.

I used to use Frostwire until I began creating my own music with music production software. If you want to make money from YouTube, I suggest you make your own instrumentals like I do. Anyone can learn to make a simple beat. Some good music production software I recommend to use for the PC would be Fruity Loops Studio. The latest version is FL Studio 9, but FL Studio 5, 6, 7, and 8 are just as good. If you want to pay for it, you can buy it at your local computer store or online at flstudio.com, but if you want it for free, I suggest you use Frostwire, since it can also download programs for free too. For the Mac users, your computer should already come with a music production software called GarageBand. In my opinion, GarageBand's instruments sound more professional than Fruity Loops. Both programs have user manuals available in the help menu and Garageband has a beginner tutorial. For any other tutorials, I suggest that you search YouTube for Fruity Loops Beginner Tutorials or Garageband beginner tutorials.

Other PC Music Production softwares include Reason, Sonar, and Nuendo. Another Mac music production software is Logic Pro. The music industry itself specializes mainly with a software called Protools. It's compatible with both PC and Mac, but is usually the software preferred for studio recording. If you decide to use Protools at all, I recommend that you buy it rather than downloading it for many reasons. Trust me on this one.

Step 2: Lyrics

Of course, music videos don't ALWAYS have lyrics, but if you do decide to, make sure you write lyrics to the instrumental and keep them for the studio recording, which we will get to later. (Lyrical tip: Keep your lyrics fairly clean and it may be more marketable! Make it hilarious or comical, and it may get more plays! Ex. Search "White and Nerdy" on YouTube)

Step 3: Home Studio (Session) Recording

The best software for studio session recording starters is Cool Edit Pro. Cool Edit Pro is only PC compatible though. I learned it on my own through experimentation, but for tutorials, I'm sure you can find them on YouTube. There is also a user manual in the help menu. You can also download Cool Edit Pro for free using Frostwire. For the Mac users, once again, congratulations! You can record yourself using Garageband! To do so after you have finished creating your instrumental on Garageband, at the top click Track> New Track> Real Instrument> Create. You will notice that on the left, a track for recording appears that is titled "No Effects". If you have a microphone plugged in, test it out by speaking into it. The green bar next to "No Effects" should rise every time you speak. If not, check your System Preferences for Sound and switch to Built-In Mic/Internal Microphone. Most Mac laptops have a built-in microphone. Most of them are found on the left speaker at the bottom right side, but only on laptops. For PC laptops, your microphone may be found in the top of the monitor in the middle, left, or right corner.

For more advanced users, session recordings can be done with Protools. You can buy microphones, but the cheap ones are usually not good recording microphones at all. If you have a built-in microphone, you're in luck; because believe it or not, it is better than most microphones under . Just make sure you adjust the volumes of each separate recording you do accordingly, regardless of which mic you use. You can make a bad mic sound much better than it does by altering the volumes.

P.S Tip: How to Autotune

Unfortunately, I only know how to do Autotune with the Fruity Loops users and the Garageband users. For the FL users, you have to download a plug-in called Antares and drag it into Fruity Loops. As for the Mac and Garageband users..... you guys are very lucky. GarageBand comes with a built-in Autotuning system. To use it, at the top click Track> New Track> Real Instrument> Create. If your Audio Region at the bottom is not visible, at the top, click Control> Show Editor, or just press Apple+E. Turn the "Enhance Tuning" in your Audio Region all the way up. Then look just below that switch, and check in the box "Limit to Key".

Step 4: Recording the video

To record the video, you're going to need a decent quality camera. But just because you have a decent quality camera alone doesn't mean that the video is going to be great. It's all about how you put it together. As far as quality goes, I recommend the Jazz Elite HD Portable Camera for starters. It's a 0 high definition camera, but you can get it for only 0 at electrotech.totalwarehouse.com. I haven't found a cheaper high definition video camera online yet, but if I do, I will let you know. Also, looking into getting a tripod would help for stabilization. You can find those at Wal-mart for pretty low prices.

Also, if you're trying to make money on YouTube, make sure to keep other company products' logos and titles out of the video as much as possible. YouTube can prevent money making from almost any logo being shown publicly in your video. This also includes logos on shirts, so just make sure that whatever clothing you choose to wear for the video, that the emblems or logos of your shirt's producers are not visible.

Step 5: Putting the video together

Hook up your camera to the computer and transport all of your video clips in a folder. For PC video production beginners, I recommend using Windows Movie Maker. It comes with every Windows computer. If you can't find it, just click Start (or the windows icon for Vista users) at the bottom left side of the screen. Go to Programs> Accesssories> Windows Movie Maker, or Programs> Accessories> Entertainment> Windows Movie Maker. If you can't find it in either of those places, go to My Computer, open up the Local Drive (usually C:), and go to the Program Files folder. Look for a folder called Windows Movie Maker and look for the startup icon. For Mac users, there is iMovie. The video clips can be dragged or imported into both of these programs to use. If your PC or Mac came with the Adobe Collection, you may also use Adobe Premiere Pro, which is compatible with both computers. Adobe After Effects is a more advanced software to use for special effects, but you can easily learn it through 10 short tutorials at videocopilot.net. A much more advanced video editor is Final Cut Pro for the Mac users, used by real industry movie makers.

There are video tutorials for all of these softwares on YouTube, but, in my opinion, Windows Movie Maker is ridiculously easy to use; but Adobe Premiere has more tools and effects that you can do to your video. Adobe Premiere also has green screen keying, which Movie Maker does not have. If you are looking to make music video production or music production a future career, I suggest you look into a college called Full Sail University. It is known as the "Harvard of Entertainment and Media Schools" and has one of the three best film programs in the world and the top 5 Recording Arts programs in the country. It is a high-paced school, and you can receive your Bachelor's in either program in 20 months. To look further into this school, visit the Full Sail website.

Make sure you render your video in a high quality setting too. "Rendering" just means saving the video in video format. The higher the quality, the longer it may take to finish saving the video, but it may be worth it. If you have the Jazz Elite HD Portable Camera, you may not have to worry about quality as much.

Extra Step: Earn Money Through YouTube

To earn money, simply reach over 200,000 views with your video. YouTube will send you instructions on how to set it up and will review your video to make sure that there are no copyright infringements.

But as for music videos in general, I've seen the best and I've seen the worst. The quality of the final product all comes down to how you use these tools to the best of your creative ability. Show laziness in production, and lazy is how the final product will appear to be. Happy music making!

Review of the Traumah Drum Library

BEAT MUSIC MAKER :

For music producers today, it is essential that we use high quality drum sounds in beats and instrumentals. Many upcoming producers often buy drum sample kits with famous producer's names on them. For example, a beat maker may want to create an instrumental to sound like producer Dr. Dre or Timbaland so he/she will try to buy their drum sounds. Often times these kits will be labeled "Dr. Dre drums" or "Timbaland drum samples".

Review of the Traumah Drum Library

The problem with many of these kits is that the sounds are often recycled from stock drums in keyboards (Roland Fantom, Korg Triton, Yamaha Motif, etc). This can make a producer's beats sound bland and un-authentic. It also contributes to beats "sounding the same".

Welcome to the Exclusive Sounds

Since becoming a music producer in 2004, I have purchased plenty of drums and sounds, but in 2010 I was introduced to Traumahdrums.com. Traumah is a music producer that specializes in the engineering and crafting of unique drum samples. Upon visiting Traumahdrums.com, I signed up for his mailing list to download a free drum kit.

Over the course of the next year, I received periodic emails from Traumah with music production tips, videos, and plenty of free drums kits. After receiving tons of good information from Traumah I finally decided to invest in one of his drum kits.

The Traumah Drum Library includes 187 organic drum samples exclusively crafted for producers and beat makers. It includes "50 crispy ear stabbing snares, 50 back cracking gut punching kicks, and 37 foreign sounding percussion ranging any where from Western Indian influenced shakers to South African inspired Congo drums". The drum kit also features 30 unique drum loops.

Upon receiving my drum kit, I uploaded the drum sounds in to my music production software. I currently use Reason 5 to make my beats. I uploaded one of the kick drum sounds into the Redrum rack in Reason and was immediately blown away at the thickness and uniqueness of the drum sounds. I went through all of the kicks, snares, claps, percussion, and hi hats in the package and I could tell that each one had been crafted to "knock". With my production roots in hip hop, this was especially pleasing to my ears!

Compare and Contrast

To ensure that the sound I was hearing was not all "hype", I uploaded some of my favorite drum sounds and compared them to the ones in the Traumah Drum Library. Quite frankly, the sounds I was using did not cut the mustard! My favorite kicks, claps, snares, hi hats, and percussion instruments sounded weak compared to Traumah's kit.

I then began to ask the question. Why? Why did Traumah's drums sound better than my favorites? I sought to do an EQ analysis. I brought Traumah's drums and my favorite drums into ProTools to compare and contrast them.

When comparing Traumah's drums to mine I noticed that each drum sample was crafted to fill up the sound spectrum. Kicks had plenty of lift in the low end frequencies as well as some mid. Snares and claps hit hard! In addition, all of the sounds were pre-mixed which was huge for me!

The sounds I was currently using were not pre-mixed. Anyone one who's actually taken the time to mix instruments together knows that it can be an extensive process. The fact that the sounds were pre-mixed saved me valuable time in the engineering department!

Final Verdict

Overall, I am very pleased with the Traumah Drum Library, I use it often in my beats and instrumentals. Since using Traumah Drums, I've noticed an increase in beat sales as well as increased interest from independent artists. The drum library is well worth the purchase price. I would recommend the kit to any serious producer looking to enhance their sound and sharpen their skills.
