Ok...so you're a singer, writer, or rapper and you have all of your songs written or recorded onto mixtape beats, and you want to make a "real album" that you can release on itunes, spotify, or pandora.
It sucks when you have all your lyrics done, but no songs recorded and you don't know any super producers and on top of that you don't have the cashola to pay for sessions, even if you did know a super producer. It's more disheartening when you have recorded your songs to every one else's beats that you have no right to use.
When you are a writer that writes rap songs, things are a not that complicated. You need beats that you have the legal right to use, then you need a studio to record your song in, then you need mixing and mastering, before you unleash it. There are many places online to license beats from, and there are typically two types of licenses you may choose from, exclusive and non-exclusive.
A non-exclusive license is less expensive and gives the artist the right to record to the music and sell usually up to about 2000 copies of your song before having to re-negotiate with the producer who created it. (Licenses Vary). Remember when purchasing a non-exclusive license you are not the only one who will have a license to use that beat. Any other artist can also buy that same license for that beat....so potentially there may be other artist with songs to the same beat as yours. It doesn't happen frequently, but it does happen.
A non-exclusive license is significantly cheaper and gives you the right to record music to the beat and sell up to 2000 copies of your song before having to re-negotiate with the producer who made it. (Licenses Vary). Also, you should remember that, when purchasing a non-exclusive license, you are not the only one who will have that beat. Other artist can also buy the same license for that beat....so potentially there could be other artist with songs to the same music as yours. It doesn't happen frequently, but it does happen sometimes.
Non-exclusive licenses range from 2.99 to around 50.00 per beat, and exclusive licenses are anywhere from 200.00 to 10,000.00, depending on who the producer is. So whatever your budget is, you can find something within your budget. Plus, producers offer package deals when purchasing multiple leases. www.freshoffabreakup.com is a good place to start.
For writers that create R&B songs or pop songs everything above still applies, but you also should to find a singer who can "demo" or "sing" your songs. That is, unless, you can sing them yourself. Finding a demo singer that will do your songs justice can be a difficult task. Professional demo singers can be a little pricey, but it is usually worth it....and what you shouldn't do is rely on someone's word that they can sing, then blindly to pay them, then when you get into the session, they take forever and sound horrible....and you end up with a song that sounds nothing like you wanted.
On a side note, whether you hire a professional demo singer, or you are singing the song yourself, if it's within your budget, you may want to also employ a "vocal producer".
A vocal producer is the person who is responsible for making sure your vocals are delivered correctly, your melodies are attractive, and that the over all recording is marketable.
That's it for now, but shortly I'll cover more topics, so until we meet again..
