In this post I am going to share with you some tips on what to do before you start publishing your song to public.
#1 Get a decent quality equipment
Sound quality of your song is critical! If you have amazing lyrics, great instrumental but your vocals sound like walkie talkie no one is going to listen your music. No one will share your music and your effort is wasted. Decent quality recording equipment is very cheap these days. You can get all you need in couple of hundred bucks. I will recommend to you some very cheap great quality equipment that I used for making music :
- Microphone - CAD U37 USB Studio Condenser Recording Microphone
- HeadPhones - Behringer HPS3000 Studio Headphones
- Audio Mixer - Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium
That`s all you need to get amazing sound quality output!
#2 Record only the best songs you have
Don`t record just anything! Make sure you give the best of yourself in writing lyrics. No one is going to listen some random lyrics. Make sure that you have a message you want to tell to your listeners! Work on your lyrics, everyday, whenever you can! Always carry with you some notes and pen! Write down every idea you get, and then when you get some time, sit down and develop those ideas!
#3 Make your own instrumental or buy one
Don`t just download instrumental from youtube and record own song on it! DO NOT! Why? Because a lot of others will use it too, and you will loose a credibility. You can find some very cheap amazin instrumentals online. Buy it! Support beatmakers because it`s very difficult to create good instrumental. if you dont`t want to buy one, then make it! You can use some amazing beat making software like Fl Studio or Reason. Be original as much as you can! Try not to copy someone others style or lyrics! Be yourself, bring yourself into your song!
