I am going to learn you how my instrumentals are produced and what I do during the production of my beats.
I want to learn you about beats and instrumentals. I believe beats and instrumentals are not the same. Beats are a few parts of music, such as drumtracks and chorus. These tracks are used over and over the entire track. I think that the full track instrumentals include an intro, chorus, verses and breaks. These instrumentals are mostly productions of people who learned to play music on an instrument and know how it is going to sound like when they've created it.
Just to start off, my main focus is on the hiphop and R&B instrumentals. I began producing when I was 19. I worked on different styles of music, because I wanted to learn about how-to-do and create good quality instrumentals. I learned this in a few years. I produce instrumentals for different artists. Even though I like working with known artists, my main focus is on the young artists. I want to provide them with high quality beats and instrumentals.
I'm working with hardware synthesizers and I have always did. I have never used plugins for my instrumentals. That's because I love to use sounds just the way they are in my keyboard. I'm not a fan of software I guess. It's not cool to work with a lot of programs on my PC. Hit the keys and produce the instrumental, is how I think it should go. I began playing the piano on a little Yamaha keyboard that was cheap as hell. After that I switched to the Motif ES8. That's when I really learned myself playing the piano. Such as every producer, I started of creating 8 bar samples as music parts. I just played this over and over to create a beat. I'm using a MOX8 synthesizer at the time. I was dragging my 50kg Motif to shows and rehearsals. Even though it has not as much sounds as the Motif it's easier to transport to giggs and shows. All my instrumentals are produced with sounds out of the MOX8 Yamaha synthesizer.
I learned about producing a track over the years. The intro: How do I make it sound? What's the time to pull in a break? That's just about putting the track together, but what do I do to create these parts of an instrumental. I want to let you know how I begin working on a track and tell you how I think an verse, bridge, break or chorus is created.
1st, I know many producer start a track by using drums. I'm a musician and I know that basslines and drums are essential to each other. Then the bassline is mostly related to the chords and melodies of a song. I always start my instrumentals with the chords and melodies. When I finished this, I play in the bass. I like to make it groovy, but I look forward to see what vocals could be added to the instrumental. You're not going to like a bassline which conflicts the vocal parts. If you do this, it could screw up the track and finish it as overproduced. When I'm done tapen these parts I add the drums. I have taught myself how to play keyboard drums. This helps me getting a good visual of how the end result of a verse is going to sound like. When I played this in my head, I'm begin adding the kick and snare. Then I record the hihats, crashes and even toms. If it's possible, I try to create all of this in just one tape.
Now I created the basics of the tracks, I start thinking about the bridge and chorus. Sometimes I use different chords in the bridge, so that means I start all over again with creating this part of the instrumental, but you can just add a few strings or a lead to expand it. The chorus is most times the same as the verses. I just add a lead to it and sometimes strings or different basslines to fill it up. So that part is easy when you got the right lead. Again, make sure you won't make it sound overproduced. Keep thinking ahead and try to get in a songwriters position.
Now the break is a very cool part of the instrumental. That's because you can change the chords again and make it sound a lot different than the rest of the track. You start all over again and try to create a nice break which goes to the last chorus. In my instrumentals, the last chorus is always a sort of climax in the track. When you create a break in the track and you use different chords, make sure you stay in the same key.
It's very important to stay patienced, during the proces of producing instrumentals or beats. Sometims I work on an instrumental for 2 hours, but it's not weird to work on it for 8 hours or even 2 days. Next important thing in line is to get the feeling of your track. Live your track. Dance, vibe, rap or sing on the track. Once you're doing this, it's more fun to do and keeps you motivated.
I also let other people play on my tracks when I'm producing instrumentals. I got a few friends that are guitarplayers. Therefore I play the keys myself. I like working with other people who play instruments and letting them jam on my beats. When someone else created the basics of the track, it's a challenge for me to finish it.
Just like everyone, I got my inspiration from different producers. They made me start creating music. If found Ryan Leslie as one of my biggest inspirations. That's because I can see and hear that's he plays an instrument. The tracks with a lot of musicality in it are most times produced by real musicians. They know how music should sound like. I play the keys in Eroyal And The Kingsz and I'm a musician too. I also produce the songs. During the proces of producing these tracks I keep in mind the sounds I use and how they sound like on live performances. When people play your music as if it are number one records and they play it along with you, it gives you a good feeling.
All my instrumental are to be bought at Robin Wesley Productions and robinwesleyinstrumentals.com. The websites went online in January 2012. The reason why I did this is because I want to make my music worldwide en give people the opportunity to create their own song with it. The high quality beats are offert for low prices as you can see. I understand people think it's a big step to purchase an instrumental when they are not certain they can pull out a hit with it. Take a good look from my standards. You have the chance to buy the instrumental when you already have made the lyrics to it, when you listened the tracks on the mediaplayer at robinwesleyinstrumentals.com. I put a lot of time in it. If you don't see it the way I do, you should take a look on the other producers websites and compare these to the music on de webpage. If you took a good look at the information I wrote above, you'll definiatly hear the difference.
I'll be honest to you. I've purchased instrumentals too in the past. I used this when I was songwriting and rapping, but one day I wanted to create my own instrumentals. From that day on, I invested in my gear such as synthesizer, computers and DAW's. If you love music and want to be succesfull in the music industry, you'll hve to invest one way or the other.
