Subject:Day 7: Post Production – You Have A Raw Beat - Now What?!
--------------------------------------------------

If you use DUBturbo, you know that you can make probably 20-30 quick beats a day once you figure out the easy to use navigation and functions. So – having said that, many of you may or may not know that you can still do SOOOOO MUCH more with your creations. Let’s look at a few scenario’s below. These are things you do both for free and or with buying other software – however we’ll focus on free as much as we can here.

Scenario 1: You just finished a 16 bar beat/hook, and you exported your .wav. Here’s what most would do: Convert to .mp3 and go to market :P << Cheap and dirty, and hey it works if that’s your thing, create/sell/repeat….

However, let’s consider a few things here. What if you exported 3 different 16 bar beats, and you made them at the same tempo. What’s stopping you from opening this up Audacity or any free .wav editor and mastering, mixing, adding a bridge and interlude/intro/outro with the other two beats, and THEN go to market. OR keep tweaking and make a few dubs/custom versions of the beat for variation when you go to market…

These subtle differences are key when creating compilations or scores for TV. Next time you watch a hot show, notice the soundtrack – some use the same beat and nothing else. Others score the show with tons of small variations, ad-libs, hooks, 3 second trailers, transitions etc. all stemming from the same foundational sound kit.

There’s TONS you can do once you create a simple set of beats and combine them with other tools like audacity, sound forge, or even bigger DAW’s…

Scenario 2: RAW master vs. EDITED master: For the most part, exporting from dubturbo gives you broadcast quality ready audio, if it peaks you simply lower the master volume and re-export. This is considered your raw master.wav. You don’t need to do this next step however we do recommend it.

EVERY sound set comes with slight differences in leveling, velocity, frequencies etc. and we want to make sure we bring out the best in each beat. I recommend AT LEAST getting your beats into an editor and normalizing/EQ’ing each one, essentially further mastering them to perfection. Bring up the bass, change up the normalizing, peak out the sounds you want punching through, your ear will pick up that perfect zone to be in and now you have an even BETTER master to play with.

Let’s take a look at today’s video and we’ll go through these scenario’s and more to show you a live action example:
