Then you’ll be well on your way to creating your own tracks from scratch. You’ll soon be putting your own mix onto someone elses basic idea. Then follow some tutorials and learn how real tracks are put together. Learn by playing with a tool and seeing what it can do.
All these tools work in the same basic ways so any experience with any of them will translate pretty well into the others if you decide to switch later. You can get beat making tools that are almost as powerful that are ideal for starting out. These are pretty darn expensive though, with Pro Tools starting at about $600. But also Cubase, Reason, Fruity Loops and Logic. The professionals mostly use Pro Tools for audio work. What software program do most producers use? Someone could of course do both jobs, but they are not the same thing. They may not necessarily actually create the music, compile or produce the actual music. Does that mean a producer is the same as a composer? It’s an ongoing argument that has less and less meaning as music has changed and developed. Some producers are not beat makers, but many beat makers would also consider themselves to be producers. So the difference between a beat maker and a producer is actually pretty small. It’s a creative role with a lot of control – like being a movie director. They had the commercial skill and knowledge to know how to create something that would sell. They were the person who took some raw ideas and shaped them into a polished finished product that people wanted to buy. Well in this more old fashioned tradition role, a producer was the ‘unknown hero’. What does it mean for someone to produce a song then? You’re still working through the same creative process to achieve the same end result. Your raw components are slightly different, but you’re still building up layers in the same way. The confusion though is that in modern terms, as someone who is making beats – you effectively are a Producer too. They mix, edit and combine those tracks to create a polished finished ‘song’. Adding in a vocal track, drummer, bass, keyboard – an entire band or even an orchestra. That could mean a guitar track recorded by a talented guitarist. They take raw components and put them together to create music. So if that’s making beats then what does a producer do? Well, a producer ‘produces’ music. It’s a serious skill, it takes a lot of pearning and practice to do it really well.
They lay down sounds for drums, percussion, keyboards and other sampled sounds. They use samples to ‘play’ lots of different instruments. The short answer is that a ‘beat maker’ is a person who makes ‘beats’.
