Sell Beats on the Internet: VST For Hip Hop

By Brian Ortiz


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.

Fruity Loops or free online beat makers provide a way for anyone to make music on their computer today without the need for being able to play an instrument. Some people are musically inclined, but they have never learned or practiced how to play a physical instrument. VST allows for these types of people to make beats using their computer and become quite proficient at it. Making beats on a computer is somewhat like learning an instrument, but if you are not happy with the way something sounds, you can easily change it.

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.

DubTurbo is one type of beat maker software that has really drawn the attention of many professional beat makers, and it has now been made available to amateurs for download on the internet. It is the quality of the digital tracks that are produced with DubTurbo that makes this software so favorable amongst the most famous DJs and producers in the world. It also offers a variety of virtual instruments and special effects plugins for serious audio recording and editing.

When a song is made entirely on a computer, it is already in digitized format which makes it extremely easy for proliferation around the world using the web. This also eliminates the need for expensive recording equipment that would be needed with traditional instruments. However, ProTools is something that works well when the need arises to incorporate a real instrument into a digital track. It allows for the recording of someone playing the instrument and then integrating it into the digital loop in the VST.

The survival of entire genres of music depends on the progression and development of VST, but as with any popular software, this will not be a problem because of the power of the internet. Newer versions will be released and plugins will come out to improve the sound quality and diversity of the samples that producers will have to work with.
