What makes a pro recording pro? What is the "sound" that the pros get and how can you make your recordings sound more professional?

The simple answer is - there's no simple answer. But with careful listening and a little experience you can create excellent results with modest equipment.

Good mixing starts ear

The first and most important item of equipment is - who knows? Anyone? It's your ears! Sorry to tell you this, but listening to ten hours of Rave at 110dB will do nothing for them and you might as well give your mix to a turtle as try to mix with misused ears.

Listen to commercial recordings of mixes you like, analyse them, listen for the effects and get to know what constitutes the sort of sound you're after.

Mixing secrets

There's no hidden secret to getting a good sound, but if we had to sum up the secret of mixing in two words it would be this - EQ and compression. Okay that's three words.

These are probably the two most important tools used by professional producers. However, like any tools, if you don't know how to use them you'll be carving Habitat tables instead of Chippendale chairs.

That's where your ears and experience come in. Here we have assembled some production ideas, suggestions, tips and tricks but they can only be guidelines and need to be adapted to suit your material. There are no presets you can switch in to make a bad recording sound good. And if your original material has been poorly recorded not even Abbey Road could salvage your mix. But follow these suggestions and see how much your mixes improve.

Get the level right

You can't push the levels when recording digitally as you can when recording to tape but you still want to get as much signal into the system as possible. This means watching the levels very carefully for clipping, and recording at an even and constant level.

Some recording software lets you monitor and set the input level from within. Some expect you to use the soundcard's mixer while others have no facility for internally adjusting the input level and expect you to set this at source.

Monitors

Your ears are only as good as the monitors they listen to. DO NOT expect to produce a good, pro mix on tiny computer speakers. It may sound fine on a computer system, but try it on a hi fi, in a disco and through a car stereo.

Oddly enough, you don't necessarily need the most expensive Mic. Many top artists use what some might call "average" Mics because they work well and get the job done. You can spend a

Producing music is something that can be very intriguing, but also it is something that can be very time consuming. It takes a lot of dedication and motivation. Most of the professional music producers have extensive imaginations and years and years of experience.

So if you are someone interested in producing music are you prepared to put in the work?

A lot of people have the understanding that to start producing music you need thousands of dollars in equipment and you need to have gone to school or had some kind of schooling on producing music. This is totally untrue!

You can begin producing music very cheaply. The program (tool) that I started with was very cheap and it is actually something that I still use. It offers pretty much everything you need. It has extensive help guides and tutorials. I definitely got my money worth with this program, it gets put to use all the time.

There are programs like this all over the internet. I recommend starting with one of these programs. Not only are they inexpensive, but they are also very helpful. They offer tools that help you produce music, make instrumentals, compose music, professionally engineer and play different instruments. You can easily make beats and play them right online.

Most of these programs are basically mini music production workshops. Many of them also offer hundreds of videos and tutorials that show you exactly how to produce music, the right way.

So get rid of the preconceived notion that you need to spend thousands of dollars and start producing the kind of music you want to be listening to right now!

Producing music and making beats is something that can be very fun. Music has a big impact on the way people think, feel and act. Being able to create your own beats and music is something that can be not only very fun, but also very addictive.

There are so many different kinds of sounds that you can put together when making beats. The possibilities are basically endless.

The notion that many people have is that you need to have thousands of dollars in equipment and hours and hours of classes and tutoring. This is totally untrue.

There are plenty of programs and tools offered online very cheap that you can produce beats with. Most of these tools and programs offer extensive help guides and tutorials. You can get one of these programs for as little as $30.

I believe these tools are a great place to start with making your own beats and producing your own music. I say this because you can basically test the water before you go full blown into producing music. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and then later down the road figure out that producing music is not for you. More essentially, it is a safe road.

Not only is acquiring an online tool for making beats and producing music the safe way to go, but it is also a great place to start. You will learn a lot about making beats and producing music through help guides and tutorials. You will figure out if you want to take the next step. This would be actually spending thousands of dollars on equipment and even advanced music production classes and schooling.

But for now, I recommend sticking to a cheap online production tool, which will work just fine for you for now.

I have been asked about the FL Studio screens and menus a lot, so this is for people having trouble figuring out the menus and other components on the Fruity Loops FL Studio screen.

Menu Rundown:

Most of the screens you will be dealing with in Fruity Loops come from this menu -

These buttons are generally located in the upper left corner of the FL Studio Program. Now I will rundown each button:

 

This button opens up the FL PLAYLIST. This is where you can sequence your loops to create your final song.

 

This button opens up the FL STEP SEQUENCER. This is where you sequence your sounds to create loops.

 

This button opens up the FL PIANO ROLL. This is used to make advanced patterns in the step sequencer.

 

This button opens up the BROWSER. This is where you will find your samples,vsts and other FL Studio add ons.

 

This button opens up the MIXER. This is where you can adjust your track volumes, add fx to your individual tracks and mix the overall song using the Fruity Loops FX Plug-ins.

 

 

 

You also need to be familiar with the PATTERN menu .

This is where you can switch between the different patterns that will make up your song.

 

The TEMPO CONTROL . This changes the BPM (beats per minute) or tempo of a song.

 

 

The CHANNEL SETTINGS

This is just a basic introduction to the FL Studio Menus, If you need more help with Fruity Loops aka FL Studio or some samples to make beats with, check out the websites below:
