Going to college for hip hop production?!
Question: Going to college for hip hop production!?
I've always been REAL interested in making hip hop beats!.!.!.!. i'm a huge fan of hip hop and i think it would be awesome to be a producer!. I was wondering if there are colleges (specifically in the Cleveland, Ohio area) that offer courses on music production!? What would be my best bet on getting into the hip hop production career!? Taking classes or just buying equipment and reading books or what not!? Thanks!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
download "ableton live" off a torrent!.
learn this program it is basically the industry standard for music production!.
learn about samplers and synthesizers
learn about "vst"s (these are the instruments that you put into ableton)
you do not need hardware at the beginning!. once you have ableton you can install vst instruments and begin!. download "sample packs" for beats and vocals!.
you also need a program to cut up samples!. an easy one (and free) to begin with is Audacity!. download jazz and other types of music!. cut these up and play with them in ableton
good luck with it!. it takes a while to get into but once you have a program down and start to develop a style you can begin to invest in hardware and build up a sample collection!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
