This has been said because in the time this generation lives in; music has lost its meaning and the real sound of soul. Through long research these facts can be found that proves so and can also teach, the new generation about the history of music. One important thing these books, websites and many other sources teach is that music is more then just a sound; it is more then just notes. “To some, music is a way of life”- Sound of Soul, music is all they know. To them, music is how they express their feelings and thoughts.
The Truths of Music
As a young I enjoyed very much the music that I listened to online. As I had become an artist, I found more and more that was simply the music that people thought, listened to or watched. The truth is that some is a great gift which one can receive and can enjoy for a long time, but it is not the whole truth. There is one truth – The truth that you are not able to make sense of which I will explain below and the Truth that you cannot know at all. That when you hear music you will hear. Because the truth is something you are not able to really understand which really means that you cannot know right now about the true meaning and value of this beautiful music as I have seen it, because the truth is something that you can’t be able to perceive. To put it simply, you are not able to perceive it. You cannot see it – it is, in fact, you don’t perceive that at all. You are not feeling it! You are not knowing how to hear it! And, you don’t see it at all as if it were part of your own perception or as if it was, say, a fact. The truth is that when one starts to think and make sense around music you will notice that you don’t realize the truth around it until you come to the true meaning of music.
So if you are a musician, then you can get to work (at least listen to) what matters and learn the very same lessons as I have to teach now. All that I have to learn is: music, and life-like music in the right place. The difference is between “playing music,” “drinking,” “making music,” “having music,” and “living in music.” Those are the basic concepts of music, or the ways in which you learn them. Some people may think that the knowledge is very important for learning music, and to be taught there is a cost to “learning” or learning. It is very important to realize that when you are learning something on your own, some of what you do makes sense – things are moving slowly, or you are out of focus, or you are trying to understand the world. Because of this, many people in today’s music world and many people in the world today have become obsessed with music and their music. In fact music is an integral part of their music and part of their life. They are not aware that music is a very good tool or the most appropriate means of expressing the desire to express yourself (and the desires of other people) when you are singing, when you are dancing, etc. The truth is that many people have become obsessed
During this research, it shows a lot has changed. Even before the 1930s. To record one song multiple characters were needed, like, an A&R manager, professional song writer, different agents, and staff engineers, but since Hip-Hop, Rap, Rock and other genres have become popular, the record producer has the option to either do everything himself or hire a staff to work with on the things he is not really good with. (The History of Music)
Now days when a song is playing over a radio station the first thing a person would automatically ask is, who is the artist singing or rapping? Instead of thinking of things like, who is the record producer or what record company the album or song was made by? Because really they are the ones putting their sweat and blood into the songs, as time went on record producing become more and more popular. Record producing is now so popular that a record producer can make over a million dollars from just one record or song. Of course record producing is no joke, it is just like another job, they have to be good at it, they have to work hard and make sure everything they present to the public is to perfection. Most record producers know how to play some type of instrument but it is not necessary to know how to play one. Some of the things a record producer do need to know are how to read music, how to read and operate a base board, the differences in microphones, the different techniques to cover a microphone to give the song the sound or voice that the record producer is looking for. And also a record producer need to be people friendly because they are going to be going out recruiting new talent for the label they are working for, or just for their first album or song and man other things. These things are all important because, these are very essential to the song. Different genres of music need different equipments, and that is something record producers most know. (Garland, pg.20-37)
One famous producer in the music industry that fits this profile very well is Kanye West. Kanye West style brings a whole different genre to music itself. His music inspires the sound that most up coming producers look for to put in their projects. Most producers or artists will make an album with five tracks or songs on them. Such an album like this is known as a sample album. With five or less songs on them, they would contain both full songs with words and others are just instrumentals, or songs without words. Kanye West has exceptional production skills. He has work with famous rapper such as; Jay-Z, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Pharrel, and many more. Every album he has produced for himself or has worked on, basically any song he has created, he has done them all from scratch, attacking every project with background research. He does his research by buying old plaques and albums, and he listens to all of them to get ideas. That is how his songs are created. He also recruits and handpicks who he wants on the album or song before hand. He is the perfect example of how hard it is to make it in the production industry. Because he made it big by not producing songs only but also by rapping on his own instrumentals that he has created. He created an album and put it on the market and that made him famous, now he has gone back to the producing phase and still makes billions every year. He shows how much work and dedication is needed by this industry, he shows that not everyone just makes it on the first try, one need to work at it and try and keep on trying. Because not everyone is going to believe in the work or album handed to them, because not every recording labels are going to listen to the demos they get, after all they to get about 50 to 75 demo tapes a day, and that is a lot of demos to listen to. For them to be interested, the demo they get have to literally jump out at them when they first see it. (Payton & Rait)
One other famous music producer that lights up the stage whenever he does something or anything really is Sean “Puffy” Combs. Even though he became famous in 1997, he was well known before that. If anyone had ever listened to a rap or hip hop song in the 90’s, most likely it was or partly produced by Diddy as he likes to be called now. Before he was rapping, singing, or dancing in songs or even
