Bridging the Gap between Rappers and Producers

Hello Everyone,

Ive joined about 3-4 Facebook Groups over the last few months connecting with Rappers and Music Producers around several different topics. I had my first conversation today January 16 2019, and I had an epiphany that relates back to my earlier years learning about the recording and mixing process. I started a Portable Recording Studio program called Portastudio after Tascam's Portastudio Portable 32 track mixer. In the Beginning my first few students were pretty difficult to work with, some of them I got along well with, due to them having some knowledge of the process and the others I had a difficulty working with. They were more focused on the end result. They didn't know how much time and patience went into it. They also had a difficulty understanding how buying beats worked. I was very against ripping beats off Youtube and them recording vocals over them saying they cant release it. Going against my word sharing it on Soundcloud and Facebook. Eventually we parted ways. I did this program for free and was taken advantage of for my time, money spent on equipment, and work done. I realize they're lack of understanding and discipline is what was wrong, they needed to know the basics before jumping behind the mic. The most important thing for both producers and rappers right now is information. Believing myths of the music industry and the recording process is giving us a false representation of the craft. So over the next few weeks ill be going over topics like clearing samples, and mastering beats if you should or not and copywrite rules and how distribution works (distrokid, tunecore, cd baby).

thank you for reading have a great day and keep on learning
