I am going to learn you how my instrumentals are produced and what I do during the production of my beats.
I am going to tell you about beats and instrumentals. I think there's a difference between beats and instrumentals. I think beats are different parts of music looped, using drumtracks and chords copied during the entire track. I believe instrumentals are fully organized tracks which contain a clear arrangement with an intro, chorus, breaks and verses. To my opinion, instumentals are produced by people who make music using real instruments and having a clear image of how it should sound like when it's recorded.
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.
In time I taught myself how to produce a full instrumental. What should the intro sound like? When do I turn to a break? Even though it's just about the arrangement of the tracks. How do you think I produce all of these parts? I'm going to tell you how I begin with an instrumental and what's, to my opinion, the best way to produce these bridges, breaks, bridge or chorus.
Just to begin, there are a lot of producers who are beginning there beats with only drums. Because I'm a musician, I learned that the drums have to be almost similar to the bass. Then the bassline is created by using the chords and melodies. So I start my instrumentals always with the recording of the chords and melodies. After this I start playing in the bass. I like to make it very groovy, but I have to remember that the vocals can get in conflict with the bassline, so I adjust to this. If you get your bass and vocals conflict with each other, you can end up ruining the track and make it overproduced. After I recorded these parts of the track, I create the drums. I learned myself keyboard drumming. When I do this, it gives me a good look at how the verse is going to sound like when I finished it. When I've created this in my head, I start with recording the kick and snares. Then I go on recording the hihats crashes and toms. If I can, I try to produce the drum track in one recording 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.
A good part of the instrumental is the break. Again you can switch the chords to produce a break that's a lot different from the other parts in your instrumental. You're back at the beginning and try to create some kind of break that takes you to the last chorus. I try to make the last chorus such as an climax of the instrumental. Do not go into another key, when you're switching chords in a break.
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.
One other thing I use in de proces of creating instrumentals is letting other people vibe on it. Some of my friends play guitar and I play the keys myself. I let other people who make music do their thing on my tracks and work together with them. I like creating a track when someone else created the basics of 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'm not going to lie to you. I bougt beats to when I was young. After I used this in my rapping and songwriting times, I wanted to produce the instrumentals of my own. From that point on, I put a lot of money in my material as keyboards, computers and DAW's. Do you love music and want to be succesfull in de the music industry? One way or another, there's no going out on investing.
