pick up a demo of Fl Studio or Ableton and watch youtube videos

since you know music a bit, and these DAWs are pretty user friendly you should be able to pick it up quickly.

Learn what works for you and work at it

and its a long process i'm still learning how to use Fl Studios and all its plugins and funcitons

 

[LUClEN]

i sell rap beats and rap beat accessories

Anderson “Vinylz” Hernandez wanted to be rapper up until the age of 15. Realizing his skills weren't quite up to par, he decided to try his hand behind the boards. A close friend who was producing using the Fruity Loops production software showed him the ins and outs of the program. From there, Vinylz became cooking up his own beats and sharing them with other producers on MySpace.

One of the producers he was in contact with was Toronto-based and OVO crew member Boi-1da. After a few digital correspondences, the two decided to work together. Boi-1da would invite Vinylz to his crib in Canada for days at a time. Conversely, Vinylz would invite 1da down to Washington Heights. Soon after, the two decided to meet in L.A. to make magic. Vinylz has co-production credit on a bunch of hits, including Drake's "5 AM in Toronto," Jay Z and Rick Ross' "F***WithMeYouKnowIGotIt,” and DJ Khaled's "No New Friends," to name a few.

These days, he's been in the studio with the whole Young Money camp. He produced Nicki Minaj's "Chiraq" and Lil Wayne and Drake's "Believe Me." He's currently building his own studio in New Jersey, and has recently signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV through Boi-1da. We spoke to Vinylz earlier this week about producing for Wayne and Drake, what Nicki is like in the studio, the "Black Skinhead" remix, and what he's got coming next

Lol @ no samples

 

[G.Avant]

Lol @ no samples

lol yeah man that's really an accomplishment for me only made a beat from scratch like a few times. I usually sample or just find a loop for the melody because I didn't know shit about music theory, but now I been learning a lot of things so I plan on falling back on the sampling. What you think about the track though?
