Best tip: Use your voice to help you find what mdidi patterns to put down. Beat box your drums, sing your bass lines

@NVsionbeatz 5 лет назад

I started doing that this year and i've improved so much, too many producers use the "fill every 2 steps" option for hi-hats and call it a day lol, your idea doesn't just work with drums either, sometimes playing one of the sounds i write MIDI for over and over and hearing something that'd sound good over it without it already being there, such as playing some Piano loop and thinking "damn this needs some choir aahs or something"

*"Once You finished making the beat, you have to produce the record" - Dr. Dre* That's the real definition of a Record Producer. Pharrell Williams, Rodney Jerkins etc does a lot more than just program beats. They guide and direct the session, collaborate with writers, musicians and coach thr Artist behind the board.

It's the money and the fame that changed him. He became a world wide star literally while he was sick and going through oporatins to fix his mouth. He probabaly thought that his voice would be ruined for ever but even though his voice was distorted on with wires he still blew up. His album late registration is one of My favourite american Hip hop (I love Love UK hip hop) albums ever.

@bjamiork 2 года назад

I remember my introduction to Pharrell was when I copped The Neptunes Present...Clones back in high school when it dropped. I listened to that album nonstop to the point where people would get tired of me driving them to school 'cause it was damn near all I played (next to Jamiroquai albums). I tried dressing like him in high school and everything, lol. I remember telling everyone I could about Pharrell and The Neptunes for YEARS (especially after listening to N.E.R.D. and his In My Mind album) but it feels like he didn't become well-known, mainstream, or a household name until his track Happy from Despicable Me came out as well as Blurred Lines with T.I. and Robin Thicke. People knew him before because of Grindin', Frontin', and Drop It Like It's Hot (among others) but the man has been a musical genius and inspiration for YEARS.

@inigo9000 2 года назад

Huh i think we must live on different planets because Pharrel couldn't been more mainstream in the 2000's , there was no bigger name around at that time. He was working with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Gwen Steffani, Jay-z, Ludacris, Nelly.... From producing to singing on the hooks, he was everywhere

No, not true. There are plu-ins, AutoTheory 4 for example that allow you to create compositions on piano without knowing music theory. If you have "the ear" where you can tell what sounds good and what doesn't, modern technology can take care of the rest. Digital music creation has completely changed the game. I play guitar but I produce music without any guitar in it. So many options out there.
