Express Your Passion - Virtual Studio For PC

By Vick Greenwick


It used to be that DJs only used turntables and mixers to compile new tracks live with vinyl. Nowadays, disc jockeys in every genre of music utilize virtual studio technology to make beats. Rather than remixing existing songs by combining different vinyl records and applying effects, DJs are now becoming producers of their own instrumentals to which they then apply these old school techniques. This is what provides parties and clubs with new and fresh music every time rather than being stuck having to listen to remixes all night long.

Although DJs and producers don't begin with existing songs as often as before, they do incorporate pre-recorded sample sounds to create new music. Software, such as DubTurbo, provides hundreds of different samples to choose from to create anything from techno to rap and hip hop and everything in between. They take their new instrumental tracks to nightclubs or raves, and in hip hop, they usually back up an MC.

DubTurbo is a much more professional software package for beat making, and it is recommended for those who are serious about getting into the audio engineering industry. DubTurbo allows for a much better compression method when converting from MP3 to wav format and this prevents loss in audio quality. The quality of the original instrumental track is something that is essential when attempting to offer it to a production studio.

The Soundtrack Beat Battle is an actual competition for beat making. This is where producers and beat makers perform their best works live to compete for the grand prize. The audience often involves top level record label companies that are scouting for their next asset. This is a prime way for amateurs to get into the audio production business. This event is held on a monthly basis, and has a fairly decent impact on the music industry.

Even popular songs in the reggae and R&B genres are now produced with beats made on a computer. The importance of virtual studio technology in pop music of today only continues to grow as new artists demand more. This only opens up many more opportunities for amateurs to practice with their computer and offer their beats for sale online. VST technology has become very popular with teenagers and young adults aspiring to make it big in the music industry.

Because of virtual studio technology and digital distribution, amateurs are easily able to sell their music to massive global markets. iTunes is a great example of how aspiring beat makers are able to share their talents with the world. After they have finished a song, they can easily upload it to the Apple iTunes store for people from all over the world to download. This may seem like an easy way to become wealthy, and it is, but not without the proper marketing to back it up.
