For every aspiring singer or rapper, the ultimate issues when it comes to make your own album comprising original songs are: I don’t know how to make a song – I don’t know any songwriter/producer or don’t know any good ones – I have a budget but not enough to pay good producers. How do I do? Wait until years pass? Fortunately, with the development of technology and especially internet, things have drastically changed.
It has always been the same but probably stronger than before, art is often considered as less important than other things and music would tend to just be a hobby for many aspiring artists. But, because we have less on the bank account, does it mean that we have to give away our dreams and for a singer never have his own album produced and released? Giving away your dream is not an option if you don’t want to live a life of frustration. New ways for making albums exist.
Today, one can easily record his voice with his own equipment without it costing a leg. One computer, one good mic and an audio converter AD/DA (such as the Mbox). The word has easily spread on these Do-It-Yourself techniques. Now, aspiring singers don’t need to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars on studio recordings. Investing in your own studio will save you lots of money if you are willing to pursue a career.
Talking about saving money, one will wonder how his album will ever be produced without costing a killing amount of cash. Some new websites are proposing a new solution with “beats for lease” (instrumentals for lease). The system is similar to what leasing refers to in general. Those websites are proposing a list of original produced instrumentals/beats to singers or rappers looking for material for their album. How does this leasing process work? This is quite simple: the website remains the owner of the music (instrumentals/beats) and is granting some rights of use to the purchasers, i.e. the singers and rappers. Many websites propose music in various genres from pop to hip-hop, including electro tracks…
Last step but not least, you have to release your album, making it available to your fans… Once again, things are pretty easy with those websites (such as Zimbalam) proposing to post your album on multiple online music stores, including iTunes… It would cost you around $20-40 per album to use this service, depending on the website. You’ll usually get around 90% of the royalties on sales. However, with SongCast, you will keep 100% of your royalties, so you should check it out: www.songcastmusic.com.
So, what are you waiting for? If you have this singing spirit inside of you, don’t wait no more, you can make your own professional album in no time and for a low budget.
Remember that this will also be a good way to promote yourself to other professionals in the industry like managers or booking agents, perhaps some labels? Who knows… Time to act now! Dreams can’t wait!
