Instructions
1. Log onto soundclick.com and check out the thousands of beats produced by thousands of individuals. You will be surprised at some of the talent and creativity, and best of all, some of the beats are free to use. Make sure you consult the creator first and verify that the beat is free to use for commercial purposes.
2. Download the free Audacity program (see Resources). Import your beat file into Audacity. Use the program to work with the beat until the sound is exactly what you are looking for.
3. Use your computer's built-in microphone, or a plug-in microphone, to record your vocals. You can record the vocals directly into Audacity, so no other recording files are needed. Open up the program, create a new track, and hit the "Record" program.
4. Mix and master the final recording until it fits your musical tastes. Audacity provides a lot of mixing features, such as setting individual track levels and adding sound effects. Also, if you have a keyboard, hook up the keyboard to your computer, create a new track on Audacity, and record them directly into the program. You can then export the file as an MP3, post it online, and share it with the rest of the world.
