So I wanna realy work daily on my mixtape and I have songs writen but how do I find the right beat ? I got a friend who makes beats, he seems pretty genious but hella lazy as in he makes some awesome sounding stuff but seems to not learn all the basics you need. But well since it's only a mixtape it doesn't have to be perfect.
SO do I search the web for beats that might fit, I don't know musical theory and doubt a beat just happens ot fit your composion. I guess I need to work with someone to make fitting beats. Is it possible you have a song writen and find a beat that matches ?
A mixtape is like an unofficial album with often b-class material as you leave your best songs for a real LP, it's very popular to do mixtapes in the urban comunity.
I do this for developing my skills because it motivates me when I work on something concrete that I willl make public instead of just practicing in my room for just myself.
I'm very good at lyricism, got some good melodies (mostly for songs that I'll keep for later, mixtape songs often lack melody) and know a lot about charts and hit songs. However my vocals are rather bad and the parts where I'll sing I'll process heavily with autotune or whatever will be needed, my rapping is ok now but I'll really work on it.
So how do I go about this ? I also realise I am almost old at 24 and really have to catch up, I think the best is to specialise on improving vocals, I'm good at songwriting and that is the olny reason my music can be good cause vocaly I'm lacking. Well I am gonna practice my vocals for the next years to come but tohers are already really far ahead, they only need to be good enough to pull of the melodies, rappers aren't expected to sing that well, for example Eminem sings sometimes and it's not great but does work especialy with his production team as superstar.
CLIFF NOTES / SHORTCUT / THE QUESTION
I HAVE THE SONGS FOR MY MIXTAPE WRITEN MOSTLY AND HOW DO I FIND FITTING BEATS NOW ? DO I NEED A PRODUCER TO MAKE CUSTOM BEATS FOR IT OR CAN I FIND FITTING ONES ON THE INTERNET ?
Note - I posted this same question on another forum like 15 minutes ago, to make sure I get answers
