"Beat for nonrespect" - Bahh Tee tells how a beatmaker gets big money for his work. Interview with beatmaker - YANGY Most expensive beat ever sold

The world's largest online auction, Ebay, allows users from all over the world to sell and buy almost any product, sometimes even quite unexpected. At the same time, the amounts of transactions often reach astronomical values. We present an overview of 10 of the biggest deals in eBay history, which have sold very original lots.

10. The life of Jan Asher. Price - $ 309,292

In 2008, 44-year-old Ian Asher decided to disprove the fact that everyone's life is priceless by putting his own for sale on eBay. Surprisingly, he managed to sell it for $ 309,292. A turning point has come in the life of the Australian - he divorced his wife and wanted to get rid of his own life. After an unknown person bought it, Asher went to him in an old T-shirt, torn jeans and a passport in his wallet. Later, he wrote on his website specifically for the alife4sale.com project that he is still not sure what exactly inspired him to take this insane step - stupidity and shortsightedness, or a midlife crisis. "In any case, the sale of his own life is still included in the list of 10 craziest deals on eBay.

9. Barefoot Joe Jackson's baseball bat. Price - $ 577,610

Baseball player Barefoot Joe, whose best sporting years were in the early 20th century, earned this unusual nickname while playing for a South Carolina team. In one of the games, he experienced severe pain due to numerous calluses that appeared on his feet. The American athlete decided to take off his shoes and ran the whole match in only socks. The name Barefoot Joe came back to people's lips in 2001, when his baseball bat, called "Black Batsy", was sold on eBay for $ 577,610. A 90cm bat, made of hickory wood and decorated with black tobacco, was put up for sale by the nephew of a famous baseball player, who must have been in dire need of money.

8. Car "Enzo Ferrari". Price - $ 1,000,000.

Car "Enzo Ferrari"

The Italian supercar "Enzo Ferrari" is not only one of the coolest sports cars on the market, but also one of the rarest - today there are only 399 models worldwide. This car has become the goal and dream of many car enthusiasts. Naturally, when in 2004 this handsome man went on sale on eBay, there was no end to those wishing to purchase it. The winner of the auction was a Swiss citizen. This speedy monster cost him $ 1 million, making the supercar the most expensive car ever bought through an online auction.

7. Baseball card with the image of Honus Wagner. Price - $ 1,100,000.

Baseball is probably very popular with eBay users. How else can one explain the fact that a small baseball card depicting Honus Wagner, a popular player of the Pittsburgh team at the beginning of the 20th century, was sold at auction for such a huge amount of money? In order to get closer to the answer, it is worth learning about the background. At the time of baseball's popularity, the American Tobacco Company began to print baseball cards featuring the most famous players and sell them along with packaged cigarettes. Wagner himself, who is intolerant of tobacco smoke and advocates a healthy lifestyle, protested in every possible way against this idea and ultimately forced the company to suspend the production of cards with his photograph. As a result, only 200 Wagner cards have survived to this day. The baseball card first appeared on eBay in 2000 and was bought almost immediately by sports fan Brian Siegel for $ 1.1 million.

6. City of Bridgeville in California. Price - $ 1,770,000.

The small Californian town of Bridgeville, whose area is 33 hectares, on which there are 8 houses, a post office, a cafe and 30 residents, was formerly privately owned by the Lapple family. They acquired the town back in 1973, but decided to get rid of it in 2002 by putting the town up for auction on eBay. An interesting fact is that the winner, who did not spare such a large amount and plans to develop this town, put it up for sale again a few years later. Subsequently, the provincial town found new owners, but for a much smaller amount of money.

5. House with a bunker. Price - $ 2,100,000.

Realtors Gregory Gibbons and Bruce Francisco bought out the old rocket base, wanting to turn it into an underground bunker with a two-story house on the ground. The construction of the future home, located in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, began shortly after the tragic events of 9/11, as, according to the authors, this home should have been in great demand among a large number of wealthy families. The realtors themselves estimated the house at $ 18 million, but sold it on eBay for just $ 2.1 million. Fortunately, the house, with mesmerizing mountain views from every window, has not yet had to fulfill its original function.

4. City of Albert in Texas. Price - $ 2,500,000.

In 2003, some time after the sale of Bridgeville, the American town of Albert in Texas was also put up for auction on eBay. At one time, the American insurance broker Bobby Cave acquired this place for only 216 thousand dollars, but due to the lack of substantial profit after only a few years he decided to get rid of it on eBay, estimating the total cost at 2.5 million dollars. Albert, with a population of 5 inhabitants, is primarily known for its history - the city served as a stopover on the once important economic route Fredericksburg-Blanco. Cave tried to preserve the history of these places as much as possible, building a tavern where the department store used to be, and doing a lot of work on the restoration of historical places.

3. Lunch with American businessman and billionaire Warren Buffett. Price - $ 2,600,000.

Every year, business tycoon Warren Buffett hosts a fundraiser to raise money for the San Francisco church. The main mission of the church is to help the poor and disadvantaged people. Dinner with Buffett has consistently remained at the top of the list of the most expensive lots raffled on eBay over the years, but in 2010 the event sold for even more money than usual - an anonymous rich man paid $ 2.6 million. We can only hope that the wise economist Buffett has given the winner some important business advice that he (or she) can use to recoup such an expensive lunch.

2. Airplane "Gulf Stream II". Price - $ 4,900,000.

Airplane "Gulf Stream II"

In 2001, Tyler Jet, the main American supplier of business jets, put one of its planes up for auction. The luxury private liner can accommodate 12 passengers. The lot was won by an African company that paid $ 4.9 million for this ultra-modern model. Thus, the Gulf Stream II aircraft became the most expensive aircraft purchased through an online auction.

1. Yacht "Gigayacht". Price - $ 168,000,000.

Yacht "Gigayacht"

The most expensive item sold on eBay to date is a 163-meter yacht designed by Frank Mulder called the Gigayacht, which sold for an incredible $ 168 million. The brand new yacht, bought by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2006, includes a VIP suite, a nursery, guest cabins, a gym, cinema, spa, lifts and even a helipad. Needless to say, this deal changed the general perception of online commerce.

Quite often, auction participants part with fabulous sums in pursuit of a unique lot they liked. To an outside observer, such purchases may seem completely crazy, and yet such stories are repeated over and over again. Well illustrates the scope of the auction battles price review or. A favorite subject for auction sales is vintage cars, as our top brand in the world makes clear.

A person can develop his musical skills endlessly. Probably, there can be no peak of development, although many singers and musicians consider themselves to be almost the best performers in history. Fans idolize them, and the media in every possible way gets into their lives, stirring up interest in these personalities. What kind of equipment are used by global groups now? What is the secret of the unusual and high-quality sound of past generations? Let's take a look at the most expensive and most magnificent instruments that were played by the legends of world music!

"Koshansky" - Stradivarius violin.

A very mysterious story is connected with this violin. The Russian virtuoso Koshansky was one of the best violinists in the world in the pre-revolutionary years. All European critics gave the highest marks to the performing skills of this Russian violinist. Nicholas II himself applauded the musician and asked to play for him personally. It was Nikolai who gave the famous violin to Koshansky.

Koshansky spent the years of the revolution abroad. After his death, the violin constantly disappeared somewhere, passed from one hand to another. The instrument was stolen several times and even an armored case did not save from the last theft, this heritage was so valuable. Subsequently, the violin was stolen along with the car where it was stored, and since then nothing has been heard about it.

"Lady Blunt" - Stradivarius violin.

Violins by Antonio Stradivari are considered the best and highest quality in the world. This model was created in 1721, and the price of this instrument at the moment is almost $ 10 million. Stradivari's instruments still beat all records in value even after his death. In 2011, the auction house Tarisio, sold the instrument for a gigantic amount of $ 16 million. The money raised for the sale was donated to charity. There was a stir around the sale of this instrument, and there were a lot of stories shrouded in mystery. Over the years, the violin belonged to Lady Anne Blunt, and later it was owned by many famous collectors.

Eric Clapton's electric guitar.

The legendary guitarist in the 50s of the 20th century created a magnificent instrument that stood out for its unique sound quality. The creation is based on three Fender Stratocaster guitars, and forms the basis for the creation of this luxurious model. It was through Eric's development that the Fender Stratocaster became very popular with other famous musicians. Eric's guitar was sold in 2005 for $ 2.6 million. In addition to Eric's autograph, the guitar is signed by Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and other world stars.

Benny Goodman's clarinet.

There are only a few performers of Benny Goodman's level. This is a great master of playing the clarinet, with whom more than one modern musician cannot be compared. The "King of Swing" dropped out of school to pursue music. Goodman died in 1986. Over the years of his career, Benny has had a ton of similar tools. The clarinet, sold at auction at the beginning of the 21st century, was worth $ 25,000 and is considered the most expensive instrument ever to belong to Ben.

Dizzy Gillespie's Trumpet.

The jazz virtuoso trumpeter is considered one of the founders of the bebop style. Dizzy lived 75 years and changed a huge number of instruments. In 1995, the Gilespi pipe was sold for $ 55,000. This tool is special. Fate decreed that during an accident the instrument was deformed in an unusual way. Thanks to this, the trumpet received a special sound, which became cult both for the musician himself and for his listeners. Another "weapon" of the musician was sold in 2005. The amount of the sale was about $ 30 thousand. Gillespie's tool will always remain iconic, even for modern society.

Bass guitar "Flora Aurum".

This guitar is the brainchild of renowned guitar master Jens Ritter. Musical instruments of the German master are appreciated all over the world and represent a premium class on the market. The original design is what his guitars love for. Jens' standard guitar costs between $ 4,000 and $ 17,000. "Flora Aurum", created by the master in 2007, was bought by an unknown person for 250 thousand dollars. Flora has been trimmed with gold, platinum and diamonds. The main material is mammoth tusk. The main cost was played not only by expensive materials, the main thing is the master's vision of the guitar device and the quality of handwork.

Drums of Keith John Moon.

One of the world's most iconic drummers, Keith John Moon, admired his playing style and the highest quality of the most difficult parts that he performed. The drum kit of this genius was sold for 140 thousand dollars. The auction was held in 2004. The most interesting fact in this situation was that at the beginning of the auction the installation was estimated at 15 thousand.

Without accessories, an electric tool such as a screwdriver is completely useless. It is the bits that give him the ability to spin quickly and a lot. Of course, the quality of the working tool matters - equipment that is erased after the third screw is not uncommon in the domestic market.

Our review presents the best screwdriver bit sets that are distinguished by quality and durability. The rating of models in different categories is based on the characteristics declared by the manufacturer and the assessments of specialists who use these materials in their work.

Best mid-segment bit sets

3 BISON (31 pcs.)

Anti-slip notches on the working part of the bit
Country Russia
Average price: 1189 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The presented set of one-sided bits BISON is intended for dismantling and mounting of threaded fasteners using a screwdriver. The package includes an adapter and 31 bits, 25 mm long. The tooling is made of durable chrome-molybdenum steel, thanks to which it is designed for the longest service life even under intense loads. This set has been developed taking into account the need to work in places with limited access, for which the working surface of the "tip" has a special sharpening. The magnetized tip provides additional ergonomics during use and changing equipment.

Due to the presence of small notches on the bits, the risk of the equipment slipping off the fastener is minimized, which prevents damage to it. This kit comes in a plastic case for easy storage and transportation.

2 KRAFTOOL 26154-H42 (42 pcs.)

Best price
Country:
Average price: 1089 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Another contender for the title of the best showed itself on the advantageous side - a set of bits from the nominally German manufacturer Kraftool. All items contained in it are made of a chromium-vanadium alloy, which has high strength indicators, as well as an optimal balance in a pair of "hardness - ductility".

The decision of manufacturers to attribute the case to the number of contained items looks not entirely correct, so many buyers have a completely natural dissonance. The fact is that, by definition, the set contains 42 items, although in fact there are 41 of them. A small oversight in the manufacturer's camp (the goods are produced in China) suddenly became the main problem. If you look at the kit from the standpoint of quality, then it will not cause any particular complaints. I am very pleased with the presence of an adapter in it from a standard shank size (1/4 ") to a square 3/8". All in all, this is a worthy candidate for a purchase, even with such an obvious oversight.

Screwdriver accessories are actually not as numerous as they seem at first glance. The table shows the most common bits with markings and existing sizes.

1 Bosch 2607017164 (43 pcs.)

Long service life
Country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 1450 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

In recent years, the name Bosch has become synonymous with quality. Even the fact that most of the products are manufactured in China is not a hindrance to this. The Bosch bit set 2607017164 is just one of these, however, it is very popular and respected among domestic users.

The boxing includes 43 items:

• six bits 75 millimeters long;
• 32 standard bits for a length of 25 millimeters;
• several magnetic holders (universal and quick-change).

Among the main qualities of the kit, one can single out a really strong material, marked according to a certain type, a comfortable rubberized case and magnetic holders, which cause some resonance among the owners. In some assemblies, these holders are weak and do not properly secure the bits, while others hold the bits tightly. Be that as it may, the kit fully pays for the costs and guarantees trouble-free operation over a long period of time.

Best premium bit sets

The category presents bit sets from various manufacturers with one thing in common: they are the best deals on the market. They are the first in terms of versatility, quality, durability and, of course, price - such equipment cannot be cheap.

4 Wiha XLSelector T-Bit (41830)

The toughest bits. Lifetime warranty
Country: Germany
Average price: 5590 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

The Wiha screwdriver accessories are distinguished by their high reliability and quality. This set consists of 30 short bits (25 mm) with three tip types (PH, SW, TORX) and a universal magnetic holder. The T-Bit mark indicates that these products have increased durability compared to standard bits. XLSelector T-Bit will last 120 times longer - this is what the manufacturer says, and there is no reason to doubt his words.

In addition, despite the small size, the bits have a torsion part and can be successfully used with impact drivers. It is hidden under plastic that glows in the ultraviolet light - this makes it easier to find the dropped bit. And it's definitely worth stooping behind it - the company gives a lifetime warranty on this set. By the way, the high-strength plastic of the ergonomic pencil case is also resistant to external influences and will serve not only the owner, but also his heir.

3 JONNESWAY S29H4135S (35 pcs.)

The best choice for the pros. High resistance to intense loads
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 3120 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Professional tool manufacturer JONNESWAY presents a set of bit inserts for the S29H4135S screwdriver, which will be the best choice, both for solving everyday tasks and for small production or repair shops. Users note the exceptional quality and versatility of this kit, which, moreover, demonstrates increased resistance to maximum loads.

The package contains 35 items, including 28 bits with a 10 mm shank, 4 inserts with a length of 14 mm and 3 adapters 3/8 and ½ inch, which do not lose their original characteristics throughout the entire operational period. The presented set is completed in a metal case, which contributes to a more comfortable process of transportation and storage.

2 Milwaukee Shockwave (56 pcs.)

Original shape and increased reliability
Country: USA
Average price: 2210 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Milwaukee stands out from its competitors in its ardent support for its own corporate identity, and is quite rightly considered major players in the construction equipment market. Unsurprisingly, their 56-piece Milwaukee Shockwave production bit set is # 2 in our rankings.

The main difference between this set and others lies in the geometry of the working part of the nozzles. Each individual bit is designed in accordance with the proprietary Shock Zone technology, which prevents the working part from breaking due to overpressure. High internal elasticity and low susceptibility to shock loads are ensured by the aspect of unique shape and heat treatment, prudently incorporated into the complex technology. In general, the kit does not have serious drawbacks and is able to last for many years, as evidenced by user reviews.

1 Metabo 626704000 (71 pcs.)

High quality tooling
Country: Germany
Average price: 1782 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Real aesthetics for any craftsman, attractiveness in every single element. Only by breaking into the notorious advertising lyrics can one truly describe this unique set of beats from another German company. Metabo 626704000 is a combination of stunning looks and equally outstanding performance, fine-tuning a standard alloy of chromium and vanadium to optimum mechanical properties.

Each bit, depending on the type of slot, has its own color coding, which makes it possible to change the accessories on the screwdriver automatically after a short getting used to the set. To the delight of the users, the manufacturers from Metabo have prudently added the extended base bits (75 mm) to the set, since it is often very difficult to work with the standard 25 mm. The case also does not fail: compact and lightweight, it does not contain anything superfluous and takes up little space on the tool shelf. On the aggregate of all the listed advantages, this set is worthy of the highest praise, even though the cost is not the lowest.

Best bit sets: minicases

Mini-cases for screwdriver bits are distinguished by high ergonomics - they are not only pleasant to work with, but also convenient.

4 Wera WE-056374 Bit-Check 10 BiTorsion

The optimal choice for large volumes of work
Country: Czech Republic
Average price: 4092 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The 10-piece Wera Bit-Check is a versatile 10-piece set made from heavy-duty hardened steel for the longest possible durability. The presence of a torsion zone in the bits, which is 20% softer than the tip, avoids its abrasion at increased kinetic load. To increase the service life of the screwdriver bits, it is also recommended to use a special holder from Wera. It is equipped with special torsion springs that minimize stress through a shock-absorbing effect.

Due to the fact that the universal holder is equipped with a quick-change chuck, the replacement of the nozzles is carried out with one hand. An additional advantage of this set is the presence of a convenient case with a soft backing, which contributes not only to secure fixation of the bits, but also to their quick removal during operation.

3 Ryobi 5132002257 (40 pcs.)

The largest set in the category (40 pieces)
Country: Japan
Average price: 1108 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

A set of bits from Ryobi is very difficult to attribute to mini-cases for one simple reason - the dimensions of this set are closely matched to the standard dimensions of full-fledged sets. However, this does not in the least detract from the high quality of the equipment it contains.

As in many other sets, the main stake in Ryobi 5132002257 is made on duplication of the most running bits, and in the option of length and 25 and 50 millimeters. All attachments are made of high-strength tool steel, and surprisingly, despite their low cost, they perfectly withstand workloads. The main complaints concern the design of the magnetic holder. If in competitive models this item is made in the form of a massive sleeve with a magnetic base recessed into it, then here its design does not inspire much confidence, being, in fact, a long sleeve pressed onto a hex shank. But at the sight of the cost, you simply close your eyes - the set looks very attractive, especially when visually compared with the other assortment.

2 Metabo 630454000 (20 pcs.)

Best safety margin
Country: Germany
Average price: 892 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The smallest and also the most expensive set of screwdriver bits is in third place in the ranking of the best. The Metabo 630454000 case contains only 19 bits and a standard magnetic attachment, but the quantity is more than compensated for by the highest quality. And the point here is not only in the steel used: structurally, the bit body has an increased cross-section, which creates additional resistance to the resulting torque.

Actually, this set no longer contains any features: the main points are associated with a small compact case, the clips (bit holders) of which can be removed, as well as the increased safety margin of the attachments themselves, the moderate operation of which will take an enormous amount of time.

1 Bosch X-Pro 2607017037 (25 pcs.)

Very easy to use
Country: Germany
Average price: 899 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The next representative of the Bosch company is an image of a purely working set without any pretenses for aesthetics and other entourage. Very practical, compact and at the same time reliable, this set has also received a large number of consumer reviews, who equally praise the high quality of the bits.

In addition to the standard set of short 25mm bits, the X-Pro 2607017037 set includes 50mm extra long bits, for which I would like to thank Bosch especially. The situation with the magnetic holder turned out to be almost identical to Ryobi, but here it inspires much more confidence. But the main advantage of the kit lies in the design of the case. X-Pro 2607017037 is equipped with inclined clips and, instead of convulsively pulling out each individual object from a static position, you just need to take any of them with a light movement of your hand, and after use, just put it back. It is for its consumer orientation that this set wins the first line of the rating in the minicase category.

Best Torsion Bit Sets

This type of accessory is specially designed for high performance tangential impact screwdrivers. The difference from a regular bit is that between the shank and the splines there is a narrower insert - a torsion bar. As a rule, this area is covered with plastic insulation, but it is better to focus on the packaging - sellers often sell ordinary elongated bits as percussion bits.

4 Dewalt IMPACT Torsion DT70560T

Best set layout
Country: USA
Average price: 1350 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The popular American brand produces more than just a reliable tool. The Dewalt IMPACT Torsion DT70560T Impact Screwdriver Accessory Set is able to provide the owner with the necessary splines for a long time. The size range goes not just in ascending order - the most popular sizes are supplied in large quantities, so in case of wear you do not have to buy a new bit.

So, in one of the best and thoughtful sets there is an increased number of the following standard sizes: PH2 (5), PH3 (2), PZ2 (10), PZ3 (3), T25 (2), T30 (3). This arrangement deserves nothing but respect - the manufacturer has collected the most popular and popular material for professional work, and not just released a set of bits in a beautiful package.

3 BOSCH IMPACT CONTROL + QUICKRELEASE BOSCH 2.608.522.327

Reinforced torsion bar
Country: Germany
Average price: 699 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The world renowned manufacturer Bosch has launched the Impact Control series of bit sets, which are extremely robust thanks to their reinforced torsion zone. This accessory has proven itself to be excellent when carrying out large volumes of work with impact screwdrivers. The Bosch Impact Control kit we are reviewing includes six impact bits. They are unique and each has a manufacturer's laser markings.

The included magnetic holder with a unique quick-release fastener and a long leg helps to securely and quickly fix the bit. The Bosch Impact Control Kit is easy to use and designed for a long service life.

2 Metabo Impact

Convenient cradle
Country: Germany
Average price: 1635 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Accidental displacement of the bit from the head of the screw (self-tapping screw) is practically excluded due to the dusting of diamond chips on the tip of the spline part of the tooling.

If you don't know, then the artist and producer Bahh Tee started a cool Telegram channel, in which he talks about the modern music business in an interesting way. We have what advances are and why they are so easily given to artists. Now he has written a lot about the work of beatmakers in Russia, and how this work is best monetized.

How beatmaker differs from producer / sound producer:

Beatmaker, as follows from the etymology of the word, writes beats. Rappers call beats instrumental blanks for which they compose songs. In other words, these are ready-made arrangements, in which only the vocal track is missing. Once written, they sell or rent a beat and forget about it.

The producers are in charge of producing the song itself. It is more important for them to frame in the correct sound a piece that may not even be written by them. The sound producer works on the song together with the performers and authors, thinking over not only the sound of the beat, but the sound of the song as a whole: he tells the artist how to sing correctly, helps in editing the lyrics of the song, and can offer his own options for the development of the composition.

In short: the beatmaker is working on the beat, and the sound producer is working on the song.

Potential sources of income for a beatmaker:

Selling bits

Turnkey production of songs in conjunction with the authors

Writing music to order

Leasing (renting) bits

Royalties for related

Alternative sources of income (master classes, DJing, etc.)

How it works in the West:

When writing a beat, the beatmaker gets copyrights (he writes, at least, harmony and, in some places, a melody). In addition, Western beatmakers are, after all, more sound producers. When a beatmaker writes a beat, he often comes up with some kind of flow, a pitch with which an artist can record vocals, so Western beatmakers often work in a studio with an artist. Consequently, they automatically have related rights. The beatmaker / sound producer does not transfer the rights to the performer / label, but transfers a license to them for his share or entrusts the collection of his copyright / related share to his label / publisher.

"There" authors understand that it is better to receive little money over a long period of time than tangible money here and now. They are working to expand the catalog of their rights, because even if each written bit earns them a modest $ 100 per month, it will collect $ 6,000 in five years, and 30 such bits will earn $ 3,000 per month or $ 180,000 for five years old.

How it works for us:

Our beatmakers are trying to sell their work here and now for tangible money for them. There is no talk of any royalties. The average cost of a bit on the market is 10,000 rubles. If you sell at a higher price, they will buy from someone else, because the competition is fierce, and there are not so many solvent artists. At the same time, it's funny, but we have artists who do not make money from music yet, but have some other sources of money. When an artist "shoots" and becomes popular, he stops paying for beats. And here the point is not in the artist's greed, but in the fact that his postal addresses are overflowing with bits that beatmakers are ready to adjust "for respect" "" and "mention in the VKontakte public." Beatmakers do this for portfolios, so that they can then sell their work to young artists who carefully monitor whose beats their more successful colleagues write on.

Another option is to rent / lease the bits. I think that this is generally a big problem, and for the releasing labels it is a headache, but novice artists willingly take beats for rent, because it costs several times cheaper than buying. So a beatmaker can rent out the same beat to multiple artists for more money than selling it. For example, the songs Markul & Oxxxymiron "Fata Morgana" and Dramma & Lyosha Swik "Rico" are recorded on the same beat. At the same time, all 4 artists have a certain fame, their hits and concert stories.

Why is it different with us than in the West:

- We have beatmakers, they have sound producers

When a beatmaker sells just a beat, he does not know what song will turn out in the end, because the further fate of the beat does not depend on him. The artist will compose the text, come up with hooks without the participation of the beatmaker, and you cannot predict what he will come up with there. It all depends on the artist. It is very unlikely that the track will shoot. It is much clearer for the sound producer that the song turns out to be a hit, because he works on the song creation process to the end, taking part in all stages, right down to mixing and mastering. Hearing a hit, the producer begins to fight for his rights (it sounds ridiculous, but it is), and the artist, knowing that a hit is a very fragile substance, is afraid to change something in the resulting song, and gives the share to the sound producer.

- No face of its own

Our beatmakers are still copying. I will even say this: they copy so professionally that anyone can be instructed to "write the same beat as in this song" and he, most likely, will cope. This is problem. I explain: if an artist likes a beat, and the beatmaker does not want to sell it, but wants a share in sales, then it is easier for the artist to instruct any other beatmaker to write the same beat and pay that 10,000 rubles. This is a business, guys, an artist can be understood. But if the beatmaker has his own style, he is cool in something as cool as only he can, then another story.

Let's listen to the main hits of 2017-2018 and try to distinguish the beatmakers who wrote them by sound: "Medusa" by Matranga, "Smoke" by Lesha Swik, "Rose Wine" by Eljay and Feduk. With all due respect to the beatmakers who wrote the beats for these songs, it was not the instrumentalists that made them hits, but the hooks of the performers. The first was beatmaker Empaldo (a great guy, by the way), who wrote the beat for "Pink Wine", and then hysteria with a straight barrel began and the rest of the beatmakers began to copy each other. And of course, the price of such copied bits is 10,000 rubles.

- Lack of culture of paying royalties to beatmakers / sound producers

Simply put, in our country, it is corny, no one has yet begun to do it, so that the rest are convinced that it is cool and want it the same way.

- Narrow focus of beatmakers

More often than not, they write beats in a certain style and get stuck in loops. A sound producer must be able to make a song in any direction, must have a wide range of skills. A sound producer should "be in the subject" not only of genre music, but of the mainstream direction in general. He must understand what the hit consists of, what is working now, he must understand post-production, mixing and mastering, he must be able to record live instruments. Unfortunately, our beatmakers don't even distinguish between tones. Doing music - spend a month of time, do self-education, learn the basics of solfeggio. Unfortunately, most of the beatmakers I have met did not know the musical notation.

- Poor positioning of yourself, inability to sell yourself

I want to know who I work with, who I buy the beat from, who I invite to the studio. Right now, I spent five minutes on the public and personal page of the 4EU3 beatmaker, but I could not find any information about which songs he had a hand in. There are tons of bits for sale and information on bits sold, but I want to know customers - this information is not listed. How do I know who his clients are, what hits and cool songs did he have a hand in? At the same time, Chase is one of the coolest beatmakers in the country and an iconic person. The opposite example is the Scady beatmaker. Going to his public, you can immediately find out with whom he worked and in which songs he participated.

More or less good sound producers make songs from 100,000 rubles, when beatmakers, on average, get 10,000. Why are they more expensive? Because they make a turnkey song. They create arrangements, record, mix, craft, edit vocals, help sing. As a result, the beatmaker spends on the beat, on average, up to one day, and the sound producer a week. That's the difference in price. At the same time, the importance of sound producers working in the direction of pop music is much higher than that of beatmakers. They earn, of course, less than the artists, but they also drive good foreign cars and buy apartments. I think that these people are, at the moment, much closer to starting to demand royalties from artists than beatmakers, and, in their cases, it is more justified. An artist comes to their studio and records a song from them - the sound producer immediately has related rights to the phonogram, which he can sell or monetize himself.

How to be?

The solution to the problem depends on many factors. While musical fast food is relevant in the country and house rap is working under a straight barrel, there is little that can be changed. The musical part of these songs does not carry any cultural or creative value, remaining just an accompaniment. These songs change on the air of radio stations, while the airs themselves remain, as if, unchanged. But that will soon pass. And then everything will depend on the beatmakers themselves. Transformation into sound producers is what can help you. If you have chosen writing music as the main direction of your activity, then you need to constantly educate yourself, to pump yourself as much as possible as an arranger, sound producer and songwriter. Artists should come to your studios and work with you, not buy beats from you. Related rights consist of performing rights (50%) and phonogram rights (50%). The rights to the phonogram belong to the one in whose studio the phonogram was created, or to the one who created it, or to the one who paid for it all. Accordingly, if the artists will create their tracks in your studios, record, mix them you will, then 50% of the related rights will remain with you (if you do not take money). Sounds like fantasy, but this is the future. Everyone's business is to continue to write bits for 10,000 rubles or to begin to form their own catalog of rights, which in a couple of years will earn you good money. Trust me, rap artists now earn no less than pop artists, and they are ready to pay, but it would be for what. Today the reality is that the rap song is done by the performer and the hook, and the pop song is done by the sound producer (we are talking about the domestic market). Therefore, rap producers earn a lot less than pop producers.

Another solution is to create songs on a turnkey basis in conjunction with the authors. This is when the beatmaker and the author (poet / composer) compose a finished song together, record demo vocals and invite the artist to perform this song. A rare artist will refuse the opportunity to replenish his repertoire with a shock hit, especially since he is invited to everything ready.
