Why Should You Produce Rap Instrumentals?

If you think you've got what it takes and you are aspiring to be the next big rap artist but worried about the cost of breaking into the business that should no longer be a huge concern to you. With the availability of online software you can now produce rap instrumentals right from your own computer. Yes, the equipment needed to produce music industry worthy instrumentals is expensive however, there are some relatively inexpensive online computer programs that will help you get started and turn your computer into your own recording studio. Producing one good instrumental could help you get your foot in the door of the music industry and generate the income you need to be able to later purchase equipment to further your career. Consider using an online program to get your feet wet and see if this is something you want to pursue without making a huge investment.

A good software program will have everything you need to produce rap instrumentals at your fingertips. The most important element will be a good sound bank with a variety of different instrumental sounds such as various guitars, horns, and of course, drums. This will allow you to create an instrumental that sounds as though you have several musicians playing different instruments when really you are just using the sound bank available within the software. You can be creative and achieve any type of sound you are trying to.

The program should also be user-friendly and allow you to use your keyboard as your controls (play, pause, rewind, fast-forward) so that mixing and editing are easy and not frustrating. It is important that you are able to record your instrumentals to a 44.1 wav file as this is the same quality that would be produced in a studio and the format someone would be looking for if they were going to buy your instrumental.

So, if you are wanting to produce rap instrumentals as a career a good place to start would be to purchase an online software program that will allow you to create your own instrumentals without a large initial investment. Make sure the program has a comprehensive sound bank, you are able to properly record the instrumental, and it is user-friendly to make the process easy and fun. If you find this is something you are good at and enjoy and hope to further your career, you can always purchase equipment later on.
