Which VSTi plugins do i like?

There are alot of Vst plugins which you can buy, there are also many you can download for free
You can download some free VSTi plugins on my blog.

Setting Up Your Own Recording Studio - What Gear Do I Need ?


  • A computer (PC or MAC) both will work fine. I personally use a PC
  • DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software package e.g. Fl Studio, Cubase, Reason. Try demo version first when trying out gear. 
  • Audio interface and MIDI interface (Not necessary)MIDI interface is just needed when you want to record live music like your guitar, drums etc. 
  • Audio interface - I would recommend to buy it as it gives you clearer vocals, then just plugging it to your back of the PC. 
  • External MIDI sound generators (e.g. synthesizers samplers) * Optional 
  • External audio devices (e.g. mixers, mike preamplifier & FX units) * Optional 
  • External MIDI or USB keyboard controller 
  • Amp & speakers 
  • 3rd party plugins (e.g. FX & Virtual instruments)


Here is a graphical example on how to connect and set up your equipment




Becoming a Music Producer/Beat maker 
A degree or a course is not necessary, as many people just mess about with the software and start to learn it without any guidance. If you do a course it will help you to know more about technology, in digital and analogue. For me "street knowledge" is the best as many different musicians can show you different tips and trick they discovered. YouTube is also a good source to tutor yourself. You can search in the search engine and a lot of tutorials will came up. Some are very good however some are just a waste of time.

You are not going to produce for your favourite artist, let’s say 50 CENT, right at the beginning. You should start recording yourself, your friends or just use an accapella to produce a whole song.

Money is another thing you need to get started. You need a few things for that (look at image above).

Once you have everything to get started, make a YouTube or any other video sharing website to publish your content. Facebook and twitter are another good way to publish yourself. Collaboration with other artist on your level will help as your "fans" will start liking him and his fans you.

Hate is going to come your way, just try to ignore them as you want to rise and not fall back down where you came from.

Try to different genres then the one you like. If hip hop is your main thing, you should also try to do some rock music even if you don’t like it. A fusion of two different genres might create your unique style.

Autotune


Autotune Evo

Autotune is an audio processing pitch correction which is created by Antares Audio Technologies. Autotune uses a phase of vocoder to correct pitch in a vocal. It correct the vocal if it is out of key. It allowed artists like T-Pain to sing perfectly tuned without needing to sing in tune. The software blends slightly the sung pitches to the nearest key. The overall effect gives you a robotic effect on a vocal like a synthesizer.

Developer(s) Antares Audio Technologies
Initial release 1997
Stable release 7
Operating system Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X
Type Pitch correction

BPM - Tempo of different Genres

Beats per minute (BPM) is a unit typically used as a measure of tempo in music.

The BPM tempo of a piece of music is conventionally shown in its score as a metronome mark, as illustrated to the right. This indicates that there should be 120 crotchet beats (quarter notes) per minute. In simple time signatures it is conventional to show the tempo in terms of the note duration on the bottom. So a 4/4 would show a crotchet (or quarter note), as above, while a 2/2 would show a minim (or half note).

In compound time signatures the beat consists of three note durations (so there are 3 quavers (eighth notes) per beat in a 6/8 time signature), so a dotted form of the next note duration up is used. The most common compound signatures: 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8, therefore use a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter note) to indicate their BPM.

Exotic time and particularly slow time signatures may indicate their BPM tempo using other note durations.

Beats per minute became common terminology in disco because of its usefulness to DJs, and remain important in the same genre and other dance music.

In this context the beats measured are either crotchets (quarter notes) in the time signature (sometimes called down-beats, although the term is ambiguous), or drum beats (typically bass-drum or another functionally similar synthesized sound), whichever is more frequent. Higher BPM values are therefore achievable by increasing the number of drum beats, without increasing the tempo of the music. House music is faster around 120-128 bpm (from regular house music to UK Garage), and Jungle music generally ranges between 150-180 bpm. Psytrance is almost exclusively produced at 145 BPM, whereas Speedcore and Gabber music both frequently exceed 180 bpm.
