Ok, you have all of your songs written or recorded onto mixtape beats, but you want to make a "real album" that you can release to the world.
It is problematic when all your word are written, and no songs recorded.. and you don't know any beat maker and on top of that you don't have the cash to pay for recording time, even if you did know someone who made beats.....or....you have recorded your songs to some one else's beats or instrumentals that you have no legal right to.
When you are a writer that writes rap songs, things are a not that complicated. You need beats that you have the legal right to use, then you need a studio to record your song in, then you need mixing and mastering, before you unleash it. There are many places online to license beats from, and there are typically two types of licenses you may choose from, exclusive and non-exclusive.
Exclusive licenses are considerably more expensive because once you buy this license, no other artist can buy or lease this music, but that doesn't mean that you will be the only person licensed to use that beat because it may have been licensed non-exclusively before the exclusive licensed was purchased. At any rate, once you buy an exclusive license, no one else can buy a license that beat from that point on.
An exclusive license is more expensive because once you purchase this beat, no other artist can purchase or lease this beat. However, that does not mean that you will be the only artist with that beat because it may have been licensed non-exclusively before the exclusive license was purchased. At any rate, once you purchase an exclusive license, no one else can license that beat.
Non-exclusive licenses can range from 2.99 to 50.00 per beat, and exclusive licenses can be anywhere from 200.00 to 10,000.00 or more. So I'm sure you can purchase something that you like that is within your price range. Plus, producers usually offer package deals when buying more than one lease. www.freshoffabreakup.com is an example of such deals that also has affordable, quality music.
For writers that create R&B songs or pop songs everything above applies, but in addition you have to employ a singer who can demo or "sing" your songs. Unless, you can sing yourself. Finding a demo singer that will do your songs justice can be a hard task. Professional demo singers can be a little costly, but it is usually worth it....and the worse thing you can do is rely on someone's word that they can sing, then agree to paying them 200.00, then when you get into the recording session, they take forever and sound horrible, and you still have to pay them....and all you have to show for it is a song that sounds nothing like you wanted it to sound.
Whether you find a professional demo singer, or you are singing the song yourself, if it's within your budget, you might want to also find a "vocal producer".
This is the person who is responsible for making sure your vocals are sung correctly, your melodies are plausible, and that the over all recording is sonically viable.
That's it for now, but shortly I'll cover more topics, so until we meet again..
