The Studio Effect.

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

(catchy title eh ?)

anywae me n tash were talking about this the other night, was wondering other peoples thoughts on this.


we were talking about the effect being in a studio with like 5 guys plus the producer has on music.


both of us agree'd it makes the song alot better and makes the whole procces smoother, comparing it against sitting in your room downloading the beat from soundclick and doing it yourself, having the producer there to makes changes to the beat stariaght away and having 5 other people to bounce concepts around with not to mention if you struggling with one line having other opinions or just getting told when something isnt as tight as it could be, is all major factors in the outcome of a song.

but then after talking about it i was thinking about it more and it probly has a bigger effect than you could imagine and is probly the reason why people who record in there bedroom and release over the internet arent as good or never reach the level of people who may only do one song every 2 months becuase they need to get studio time ect. but the later persons music is always tighter and alot more effort in it because in that enviroment you not only have help but you put more effort into somehting if you doin it as a "team" so to speak, plus you dont wanne look like a dick. there are exceptions ofcourse some people have a good enough ear and skill that they cant making somehting have the tight feel without anyone else's opinions.

ive been there when a freind of mine was recording in a studio but ive never recorded in one, i hope to once i get good enough, but it got me thinking, if you wrote and recorded a song alone and then did one in this enviroment im talking about and compared it, the difference would probly be huge and most likely the the later one would sound and be 100 times better.

so like if you took your average forum rapper and stuck them in that enviroment i think theyd still be an average rapper but they would have alot better music, if that makes sense.

and if your rapping on a forum now and you would never move into that enviroment or attempt it then there's really no point in rapping...imo, coz that whole excpeirence is what making music is about and how it should be done.


opinions ?



(oh and no wise crack say "whys is this in this section" it may be audio stage but its also for musical discussion on things like this)

[Tash8]

yea, like i said i wonder what it'd be like to be in a studio with mart..

[SajN]

I'm not pretty sure of everything you said but...

I'm lucky ,
A guy I know has rented a real studio for me for free
So I'm going to check it out and probably record something if I have the lyrics ready to then.

[C-Game]

im not sure if im on topic but i go through the process u mentioned

after the beat is given the rap is written and accordin to variations in the rap or verse the singer can tell the producer to alter the beat , add strings add variations like that
so the music goes well with the sound...

anyway ill read again wat u said coz nw its almost 1 am and im too sleepy .. had to upload 3 songs..

No point in rapping if I never plan to do it in a studio I don't agree with this part.

i mean if your someone like me who records in there house and posts it online and 3 rappers came along and were like "we got some studio time if you wanne come in with us work on some tracks" and you wouldnt take the chance, then there is no point in rapping. im reffering to if you dont have the confidence or if you would back out of the opporunity to go in the studio with other mc's and show your skills of then there is no point in doin it, coz that enviroment of sitting in the studio spitting out rhymes and thinking up concepts is a major part and the most fun part of making music..if you dont see yourself being able to do that..give up.

yeh your on topic thats what im talking about, the whole situation of sitting in the studio with the producer and the guys on the song and working on it, instead of doin it alone youself.

does he work there...cause that shit is pricey as hell

yeah, something like that. He has friends or something.
Anyway: I'm still lucky



And I think I understood Bar's post a bit:

I agree there. The best thing is to be in a real studio enviroment and just be there and think of rhymes and those stuff
Having others with you in studio is lot better than being alone..

I think Jay-Z or some rapper said this exact same thing too, about how bein in the studio and the whole atmosphere made him want to write more, and the songs came out better.

That's how I am expecting it to be
So I can't wait to get in studio

I agree, theoretically. Though ive never actually been to a studio... there is a nice one up the road from me a block or two.. i buy my fitteds there, but never talked about studio time..... i wanna put a mixtape together & see if i can get some free time from giving them publicity.

[°[~CHR!$~]°]

i agree on this....studio has a better vibe to it...to know u stand in front of a real mic and real equiqment..and got people supporting you...and if someone asks me to go to the studio i defo would....but i still needa progress (a lot) till i hit the studio

itll be hard to get free studio time, but if you named your mixtape the name of there studio and let them take the "image" of the mixtape and maybe even have shout-outs over it (they probly have dj at the studio) they may give you some.

[DelinQuent]

i agree 100%. when me and my boys used to sit down in my friends studio and throw concepts around and help one another with rhymes things just came out hotter.

it's like, when i rap, i think it sounds hot most of the time, but if i have 5 people there telling me to redo it, i'll redo it. so you end up with much better quality.

i'm actually about to hit a studio in NYC cause my friend went to a music college there and gets to record artists for free cause he works at the studio now.

i get to do that next year (well august) wasnt allowed to do it my first yea rin the class becuase we were trusted enough but the second year they generally let you do it

[Emadyville]

I can agree to an extent. Since I've been using a studio compared to a friends house with worse equipment, just the environment makes it feel much realer and more appealing.
