Best Studios in Abuja: The Entertainment Clinic

Hey guys! We wanna do something unique today. Let's review one of the best studios in the nation's capital Abuja.

What Music Software/Plugins are Used by Naija's Best Producers?

The most important bit of information to share with you is this: THERE IS NO BEST PLUGIN OR SOFTWARE FOR MUSIC! Simple as this statement is, it is the most important one any producer will ever need to know in order to make good music. Do not ever forget this. While there are high quality plugins which are better in many respects than others, there is usually no ‘best’ since what works best can vary from producer to producer, and from song to song. Production of music in Nigeria is no different. Different producers use different software to achieve specific results. Below is a summary of some of the popular plugins/software used in Nigeria. We will avoid mentioning specific producers but we guarantee you that these products are used by the most established producers in the industry (yes…including that guy you just thought of!)

Song Review M.I - Chairman

Reviewing a song by one of the hip hop greats in Nigerian Music can be an overwhelming task but let's give it a go. Here is what we think about the song production-wise. And if you have not heard the song, you can listen and download here.

Why is FL Studio so popular in Nigeria?

Some may argue this point; but FL Studio (formerly called 'Fruity Loops') is Nigeria's most popular beat-making software. Just take a quick poll of producers from Lagos to Abuja, from Port Harcourt to Kaduna. FL Studio has become a staple item in Naija studios. Some producers in Nigeria use Propellerhead's Reason while others use DAWs like Cubase, Logic Pro and Sonar to synthesize their instrumentals but these are arguably in the minority. Here is an example of a Naija song made with FL Studio.

Before you make that beat

In Nigeria, we like to say that everyone is an artist and almost everyone is a producer. A common sight on the streets of Lagos is to see a secondary school boy with headphones and a laptop hunched over a corner making a beat. Yes, there are several producers; how many good producers are out there? Therein lies the question.

Before you go ahead and make that beat or start calling yourself a producer, you must ask the following fundamental questions:
