Lets get started with the easy steps for you to become more independent and have you create the next hit song that will have fans and record labels tuning in to listen. It is important that you select a good beat to start off with. There a lot of sites that allow you to purchase a beat on lease rather than buy it outright. The difference between leasing a beat or buying it outright is normally the price point and the rights to the music.
For example: Artist A buys a beat from a producer for $1000 outright meaning the artist now has the rights to the beat, these include selling the song they record to as many people as they without having to pay the producer anything.
Here is the same example but with the lease option:
Artist B leases a beat from a producer for anything between 40-50 dollars for decent beats. Immediately you notice that the out lay between the two examples is Artist B has spent way less money for a beat that he/she can record to. If you are on a low budget this is clearly the better of the two ways to go with.
The more you save on a beat the better off you are because getting the beat is only the beginning.
Next you have to write a song to the new beat that you just bought off of a producer. Now if you are not confident with writing song there are also ways you can get around this. Jump onto Google and take songwriting classes if you feel you would like to write your own songs. You can also get songwriters to write a song for you again this option you will have to Google songwriters in your area and will have to pay them for this.
Once you have agreed with the songwriter and the song is now complete,the next step is to find a recording studio in your area that you can get the song tracked and mixed down for you. My suggestion is before you go to the recording studio practise your song as many times as you need to because when you get to the studio you will be on a paying system that normally goes as per hour with them. To get the best for your money be well prepared know your song by heart and be ready to get the recording done as quickly as possible. If you can master this technique then you can recycle the first steps and buy 2 beats for example and have two songs ready to be recorded.
Common mistakes that people make are that they go in to the recording studio unprepared and this is a disaster on your part, the recording studio will love you because they not cared how long you in there for the longer you are the more money you will pay. Now I am not saying that you should go and lay a song down in 10 mins. Be professional but keep in mind that it is coming out of your own pocket. This is a demo recording and record companies know that you as an individual do not have the funds to spend loads of time in the studio.
After the song/songs have been mixed and a copy of the final work has been handed to you,you now have a demo song or songs that you can market to fans, music managers, A&R agents and record companies. Create a MySpace profile, create a Facebook profile, create a Twitter profile, these are the major three social sites. These will help you to put you music out there and get as much exposure in doing so.
Lets return to the previous example.
If you take into account all the transactions that occurred between buy/leasing a beat to the final product you will see that if artist a was doing what you were doing then he
