The most successful rap artists in the business work with the most gifted and talented producers, programmers, musicians, and recording engineers to help them bring their vision into reality. For the up and coming artist, he's or she's has got difficult choices to make. Does one invest the time and money in all the equipment necessary to self-produce a CD, or do you buy ready-made rap beats and hip hop instrumentals off the internet. The fully produced royalty free hip hop instrumental from the net can be a very cost effective option, especially if you are just putting together a demo to showcase your talent. These non-exclusive beats can be licensed for very little cash, and usually can be downloaded in the form of a simple wav. file, Broadcast wav. file, or even an mp3 file. Here at BeatWhip.Com we do just that. For those that have never heard the term “non-exclusive”, it simply means that BeatWhip is granting you a license to use that beat for your demo purposes.
If the fully produced hip hop instrumental is the best option for you, then when checking out beats sites listen to the quality of the demos presented.
I would also tell anyone looking for just about anything on the internet to not assume that the first ten “beat-makers” are the best or most qualified just because they are in the top 10 for that query. Certainly visit and start listening to the demos on those sites, but I would suggest you dig even deeper to the beat shops on pages 2, 3, and beyond. The reason for this is the guys that came up #31 for rap beats might be an amazing producers, but a horrible web designers. Seek and ye shall find.
Here at BeatWhip.Com though, we pride ourselves for having the hottest beats at the lowest prices. Its that simple!
You will most likely run across some beat and instrumental sites that give you access to thousands of beats after you pay their membership fee. Again, listen carefully to their production,and their recordings to help you deciding whether that's a good investment or not. What good is it to have access to thousands of beats, if the audio quality and production is not up to industry standard? Or the producers have no idea what their doing? Or the site isn't legal in the first place!
Once you have your beats chosen, you have many options as far as audio software you can use to record your rap or vocal in. The majority of the big expensive software like Cubase, or Sonar, Acid from Sony, and others will have scaled down or home studio versions that can be had at a fraction of the cost. It's also worth mentioning that there are some budget microphones available that connect directly to the computer via USB connection that don't need a mic pre-amp.
In closing, with a small invest for the recording software and inexpensive mic,and a handful of or beats, an artist can make the demo of their dreams without breaking the bank.
That's our goal here at BeatWhip, to empower YOU, the artist, with everything you need to be successfulwithout breaking the budget!
