Modern music relies heavily on technology, not only to record and master tracks but also in its composition and production. It is not unusual these days for musicians, even the most famous ones, to make use of synthetic techniques and devices to produce or edit their music. Understanding how they do this is part of making your own top quality mp3 WAV beats.
To start with, there are two stages to the production of a synthetic track, or a backtrack. A backtrack is what some performers use instead of live musicians playing instruments. Sometimes, though, some musicians actually produce the entire song using synthetic devices and computers, and it is then known as a track. The first stage is to compose the actual track. This is done either by recording the live instruments and vocalist or by composing the track using only synthetic means. The second stage is then to master the track using the editing software. For some musicians, these two stages are interrelated or happen at the same time.
Beat mixing software has been available for about 20 years, and people who mix beats use it either partially or entirely in their work. There is more than one famous program, so you should try them out before you decide on which one you are going to use, and why.
The standard format of these programs is for the user to arrange samples (recordings of instruments or other desired sounds) to form the track, much like construction units. At the same time, the user can edit or tweak different aspects of the sound.
Inexperienced people sometimes do not understand how to mix a track using such software. They then mix tracks which are not usable for their intended purpose, such as public performance or as backtracks for live musicians. There are several reasons why this happens.
One of the most significant is the way that not all speakers are the same. People who mix their tracks on a PC might be using ordinary PC speakers, which are typically smaller and low in their bass output. The user cannot determine the true bass power of the track on these speakers and so they try to compensate for what they perceive as low output by amplifying the bass component of the track. They find out how wrong they are when the track is played on a much larger, more powerful public speaker system - the track is incomprehensible, the speakers distort, or they are destroyed by the excessive power of the track. This is known as "blowing" the speakers.
You should always try to maintain awareness of the relative power of the speakers that you are using to mix your tracks. Sometimes, a track might sound weak on the speakers at home, but on a professional PA system it is perfect. Tactics such as part doubling (mixing a double channel for a specific sample or instrument) or "amping" should be used sparingly, since they are seldom necessary.
The famous pop musician Nelly Furtado once reported that the speakers started to smoke during a rehearsal session. It might sound strange, but speaker equipment does, in fact, have the capacity to damage itself. There is no automatic or built-in limit on its output, so you should never try to compensate for weaker equipment or sound output during mixing.
