What The Right Beat Producer Can and Will Do For You
A Beat Producer Should Make You Hits!
When you go to a beat producer now a days you should be looking for one thing and one thing only, and that is a beat capable of making a hit record. You may find a beat producer online that has the best prices ever, but will his beats give you the hit you are looking for? So many beat producers online have a catalog of 100 beats or more, and none of them are capable of making a hit record. As an artist you have to be careful where you invest your money, so make sure the producer you find has classic material for you on the production end.
Don't go looking for the best deals online and settle for some mediocre track. Even if you can only invest in one beat from a beat producer with quality music production you should do that. The quality of that one record will take you a lot further than a full mixtape or album of sloppy records. Be very careful in selecting the producer that you want to work with. Weigh out your options and go with the best that you can find, not simply the guy with the best deals.
A Beat Producer Should Be Able To Promote You!
After you are done with the music where will you go from there? How will you get the music to the right people? As an artist you should also find a beat producer that has the ability to provide you with great music promotion services.You want a beat producer with the ability to get you radio spins, promote your music video to millions of fans, or get your mixtapes and albums to thousands of blogs, labels and Dj's for features and opportunities.
This is very important because not only will the radio spins get you paid royalties, but the exposure coming from being promoted to millions of fans can make you more relevant when a record deal is set on the table. Finding the right beat producer can be the difference between a mixtape with a couple hundred downloads and views, and a mixtape with one hundred thousand downloads and views. Ask your beat producer what they can do for you in that department. If they have no idea how to promote you the right way, you are talking to the wrong guy.
In the long run there are so many things that a real producer would do for you that these so called producers now a days don't even make an effort to do. Be fair to yourself and dedicate yourself to a producer that can get you to a better place in your music career.

Tips for mastering your original beats by dirtyscopebeatz.com
Lets get straght to what you came here for. You want your beats to sound like the pros, and have all the rappers buy your tracks for their music. Problem is you are not getting the sound you want out of the mix. Well today we are going to remedy that, and hopefully make a drastic change in your mix quality.
For years I have studied the art of mixing. I found a few things to be very much "Common Sense" and other things were like "Rocket Science". Lets take the topic of panning into consideration. When we think of this topic a few questions come to mind like.........
Whats should the first step be in mixing beats?
The first step in mixing beats should be the volume. If you are already dealing with instruments that are playing at peak or actually over peak and distorting, nothing you do will help much. So you need to bring DOWN the volume on most of your tracks. Here is a tip for setting volume of the instruments in your beats.
Does panning help the mix?
The answer is yes, if used properly panning can make a big difference in your mix. I find it more effective to pan the percussion than the actual instruments. The reason I say this is because instruments almost always have a natural pan going on. A simple pan is good on the percussion though. No need to put your high hats 50% to the right thats just over doing it. Just slightly mover your percussion around.
I normally move my high hats slightly to the left, and open high hats I move to the same position. Everything is a slight move as well. Bongos slightly outside of the high hats, and effects I sometimes pan to the outside as well if its a sweeping effect. Claps slightly to the right of the snare (which I leave centered) works real well too.
Another thing producers are missing in their mix is e.q.. No two instruments should ever have to fight for frequency space. I always find it in your best interest to find instruments that already work farely well with each other frequency wise. Sometimes though we end up with instruments that don't quite agree with each other though and eq is necessary. Then comes the question.....
How does e.q. work?
First thing to remember is eq is all about the frequency. Lets take the strings for example, and assume they are played in a high key. Chances are that since they are played in a high key, we may get some unwanted high frequencies in there. Actually the chances are pretty great and there is something you can do about it. High cutting eq is the best for this. By adding an eq to the mix, and bringing down the highest frequency, I have just eliminated my problem.
Set the frequency that you want to affect to the desired level, and play around with the sharpness of the cut to really get the sound you are looking for. If you have two instruments fighting for the same frequency space. Decreasing a frequency level in one instrument in the problem area, and increasing the the level of the same frequency in the tho other will create a little room for each of the two instruments. This is a great trick to get the bass and kick to agree with each other.
How to use reverb and other effects to achieve a good sound?
One thing people get mistaken in thing reverb is meant to make something sound like its in any sort of room. Reverb is actually meant to give the instruments room from each other. Space in other words is what reverb gives you. I recommend a drum room reverb on the snares and have it to where it is barely noticible on the snare. Just enough to blend the snare more with the rest of the beat is alright. As for your instruments go... know which instruments already contain reverb and try not to add reverb on them.
Also if you find that you like the reverb on a particular instrument alot, its not a bad idea to blend the reverb on the other instruments to match the reverb on that instrument. Really to be honest thats all I really do.. make sure your master channel has no effects on it. If you use fruity loops, you know they always have a limiter on the master channel to begin . Leave the limiter there up until all the mixing is done. When you are done mixing remove the limiter. That will help clean up the mix alot.
I would like to mention this very important note very quickly. Alot of people hear their own music and get over judgemental of it. If you are critiquing your own music and not letting the world get an opinion you are digging a whole for your self in the music industry. Over the course of my career I have realized that the beats I hate the most are sometimes the fans and THE CUSTOMERS who came to buy beats like most.

So you need to bring DOWN the volume on most of your tracks. Here is a tip for setting volume of the instruments in your beats.
- Make sure your drums are the loudest thing in the mix.
- Kicks should hit between -2 and -4 db, in ITS OWN mixer track
- Snares once they are normalized are normally good, but anywhere between -8 and -12 is a good volume for your snares.
- Here is a fact most people don't know... -12 is actually the equivilent of -0 when it comes to volume in your instruments (not speaking about the snares and kicks) Start all of your instruments off at -12 when mixing and you will notice that your ability to hear the instrument is not affected to much, in fact at times I beleves it makes it heard even better.
- Volume of bass should be where ever it sounds best alongside the kick..

How to find chord and melody when making original rap beats
Well you know the secret to finding the chord and melody when making original rap beats is this... The 1st note... the 4th note and the 5th note are all connected. The first being the root of the scale you chose for your melody.
Look at the image below.
This is an A minor melodic... If you look at the scale you will see that the first note is A, the fourth note is D and the 5th note is E. If played together they are a natural chord progression, just as lon as you remember your root is the note you rest on. The chords for the first, fourth, and fifth note are naturally used together in chord progressions.
All you have to do is know your scales... it the scale combined with that technique. First you start at the root, then you progress through the scale to the 4th and 5th notes. Once you have found those notes. Begin to mix up different ways of playing them. When you find a good PROGRESSION you simply add in notes played in a different swagger that are all the notes of the chord you are playing. This is your melody in the works!
The melody would run through the chord. Its the notes involved in the 3 chords that you use to make up the melody, and the rest of the chord progression if you happen to need a fourth or fifth chord. Its the order in which you play the notes involved in the chords that makes a melody.
As far as knowing the types of chords you need, you just have to know when something is wrong... you have to train your ears to know when the right dynamic is there in the chord. A slight change from major to minor in your chord progression can take a beat all the way. For instance listen to me breaking down the beat below. I made switches from major to minor in this chord progression.
Dirty south beat by http://dirtyscopebeatz.com
This was a beat that producers would always say to me, I like you you switched from major to minor. Its a dramatic change. You will learn things like this through practice. When it comes to making dirty south beats this is a big life saver as well. Especially because the melodies are usually repetitive.
All in all though this is all there is to making a good chord progression and a good melody happen. I would like everybody to leave comments and tell me what you think. If you would like to hear more of my original rap beats visit http://dirtyscopebeatz.com

Buy Exclusive/Lease Dirty South Beats - Which to pick when you Buy
Buy Exclusive/Lease Dirty South Beats - Which to pick when you Buy
Ok here is something to talk about. The the importance of knowing which dirty south beats we should just lease and which to make an exclusive purchase. Alot of people don't know the difference between lease beats and exclusive beats so lets discuss that first. To make it real simple when you lease beats you leave it open for other artists to use it as well and you only get a certain amount of rights to the beat. Some produce will give you different right to the beat so don't be alarmed we will talk about that in a sec. When you purchase exclusive beats you are taking the beat off of the market. You are now the only artist allowed usage of this beat. Now when you are looking to buy beats for an album or mixtape you have these options. The question is when is a good time to use these different options. First thing to take into consideration is the quality of the beats. Is the beat worth the exclusive purchase? Next thing is do you really love the beat? Is this a beat that you feel is touching your sou? If you have already answered no to all of those questions is no then this is a time when you lease beats. Now lets say you answered yes to all of those questions. There are still a few more things to think about before you purchase exclusive beats. Will this beat be a single on your project? Is the beat relevant to today's industry? If you answered yes to these questions then this is when you want to purchase the rights to exclusive beats. Contracts will vary from different producers so don't expect the same contract all the time.
