Hey, does anyone know where you can buy the background instrumentals
to the latest hip-hop, R&B, and pop/rock songs? I've got a collection
of about 15 CD's full of awsome hip-hop instrumental tracks, that are
just waiting to be mixed with rap lyrics. I'm thinking about selling
my collection, because the latest craze seems to be for kids to start
their own band groups and make music on myspace. Even that hit
single, "Soldier Boy" started by a guy without a record label on
myspace. I know plently of talented musicians, but I don't think any
of my friends have taken their talent into the world of electronic
music and studio editing.
I had a project awhile back to find a way of layering soundfiles
together. Now that I'm running a macintosh I found software already
out there that lets you do just that. You can pitch shift your voice
so it sounds like a chip-munk, and blend it into the origonal vocals
so that they sound like a real person you never even met. I'm not
working with any other software now, but I'm listening to lots of good
hip-hop.
I'm living in an appartment with my girlfriend. We are totally on our
own, and doing fine. We found out that we could get wi-fi in this
place from one of the appartments next door. The signal is as good as
a cable modem.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there shouldn't be a reason to
re-invent the wheel, when you are trying to make music. There is tons
of good instrumental music out there that can be mixed, layered, and
edited together. All we really need to focus on is a good way of
making the vocals sound clear, well timed with the background, and
make sure they are hitting notes along with the beats.
So you know of any goood places to find instrumental beats, and
music? I'm trying to find people who want to buy the beats I already
got, and am going to be selling lots of old hardware to get some extra
cash. I have a keyboard, electric guitar, and a nice graphical
designer drawing tablet I could sell for the right prices.
