Ok, you have all of your songs written or recorded onto mixtape beats, but you want to make a "real album" that you can release to the world.
Herein lies the problem...either you have all your lyrics written, but no songs recorded and you don't know any producer and on top of that you don't have the money to pay for recording sessions, even if you did know a producer.....or....you have recorded your songs to mixtape beats or instrumentals that you have no legal right to use.
If you are a rapper, then it is a simple process. You are going need music that you have permission to use, then you have to find a place to record your song, then you need your song mixed and mastered, before you release it. There are a lot of sites you can license music from, and there are 2 types of licenses to choose from, non-exclusive and exclusive.
Exclusive licenses are considerably more expensive because once you buy this license, no other artist can buy or lease this music, but that doesn't mean that you will be the only person licensed to use that beat because it may have been licensed non-exclusively before the exclusive licensed was purchased. At any rate, once you buy an exclusive license, no one else can buy a license that beat from that point on.
Now, exclusive licenses cost more because once you purchase this beat, no other artist can license or lease this particular music. However, that does not mean that you will be the only artist with that beat because it may have been licensed non-exclusively before the exclusive license was purchased. But still, once you purchase an exclusive license, no one else can license that music.
Non-exclusive licenses can range from 2.99 to 50.00 per beat, and exclusive licenses can be anywhere from 200.00 to 10,000.00 or more. So I'm sure you can purchase something that you like that is within your price range. Plus, producers usually offer package deals when buying more than one lease. www.freshoffabreakup.com is an example of such deals that also has affordable, quality music.
For writers that create R&B songs or pop songs everything above still applies, but you also should to find a singer who can "demo" or "sing" your songs. That is, unless, you can sing them yourself. Finding a demo singer that will do your songs justice can be a difficult task. Professional demo singers can be a little pricey, but it is usually worth it....and what you shouldn't do is rely on someone's word that they can sing, then blindly to pay them, then when you get into the session, they take forever and sound horrible....and you end up with a song that sounds nothing like you wanted.
Whether you find a professional demo singer, or you are singing the song yourself, if it's within your budget, you might want to also find a "vocal producer".
This is the person who is responsible for making sure your vocals are sung correctly, your melodies are plausible, and that the over all recording is sonically viable.
That's it for now, but shortly I'll cover more topics, so until we meet again..
