Thank you for your order! Now that you have opened Phatt Traxx, you might wonder, "What do I do now?". First pop it into a CD player, give all tracks a listen, then choose about three to four songs you are vibin' to for your demo. If you're a rapper you should be able to flow right over these tracks. Singers could start singin' a melody, once you got your melody, start working on the lyrics. It's always best to record yourself with a hand held recorder (about $15 at electronic stores). This is for writing purposes only, so that you won't forget what ya just did. Now it takes some time to write a song, so don't get frustrated if it doesn't come to you the first time. Song layouts should consist of an intro (some ad-libbing), first verse, hook (make it catchy), second verse, hook, etc.. Complete song layout/structure of all Phatt Traxx Instrumentals can be found on our website www.epicentermusic.com. Once your lyrics are composed, then it's time to lay down your vocals. There are a few ways to do this: 1) A karaoke machine, 2) at home using a 4-Track/ 8-Track, etc., or 3) recording studio. If you choose to use a recording studio, check your internet or yellow pages for local studios, let them know you have a finished track on a CD and all you need to do is lay down your vocals over it (you have just saved yourself hundreds, even thousands of dollars in studio time by having Phatt Traxx). Then, complete entry form, and send it in along with your CD or cassette containing your vocals over Phatt Traxx song(s), and lyric sheet by March 31, 2006.
