Just to give you guys an image of how I make my instrumentals and how I work when I'm producing my instrumentals.
I'll be talking about beats and instrumentals a lot. In my opinion, the difference between beats and instrumentals is that beats are music parts created in loops of drumtracks and same chordwork over and over. Instrumentals are in my opinion music parts created and worked out in full tracks, including an intro, verse, chorus and break. Instrumentals are creations by musicians who have a longtime visual on how a track is going to sound like when it's complete.
First of all, I generally produce hiphop and R&B instrumentals. I've been doing this since I was 19 years old. I've experimented with different genres over the years, just to learn about producing good quality beats and instrumentals. My instrumentals are for all kinds of artists. I see it as a challenge to produce a track or instrumental for artists who are well known in the music industry, but my first intentions are to create high quality beats and instrumentals for the beginning young artists.
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.
The most important thing is to stay patienced, when you're creating beats or instrumentals. I can work on an instrumental for 2 hours, but I have days that I work 8 hours of even a few days on an instrumental. So don't rush it. The other important thing is to really feel your track. Get in it and live your track. Dance to it, vibe on it, rap or sing to it, whatever. It gives you more fun in producing instrumentals and keeps you motivated at all times.
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.
Several producers inspired me and gave me the love for music production. Ryan Leslie is one of my biggest inspirations. That's because he proved to be a real musician. People who play instruments and create music too almost always create music with lots of musicality to it. That's because they understand music. I'm one of those persons too and I play piano in the crew of Eroyal And The Kingsz. I even create the songs. I think about how all the sounds are going to sound like when we play it in live shows. When you see other people playing your music and instrumentals on live shows just like it's a hitsong, it gives you a thrill.
You can purchase my instrumentals at Robin Wesley Productions on robinwesleyinstrumentals.com. In January 2012 I launched this website. I want to give other people the possibility to create their own tracks with it and bring it all over the planet. I offer high quality music for low prices. A lot of persons may think it's very pricy and risky to purchase a beat if they don't have the confirmation that they can make a hitsong with it. Look at it as how I see it. I put a lot of time in the production of the instrumentals. You can purchase it when you already have the song and lyrics to it by using the homepage mediaplayer. If I haven't confinced you with the writings above, you should listen to other producers on the internet and put their tracks next to mine at my website. Once you've read all the writings above, you should hear the difference.
I'm not going to turn things around. In the past I purchases beats too. I wanted to create my own music, after I used this beats for songwriting and rapping. Since then, I bought a lot of synthesizers, computer, DAW and other gear. If you have a hart for music and you have ambitions in the industry of music, you'll have to pay up for something.
