Make Beats Like a Pro

Whether soul or hip hop is your business, the most certain way to building a name for yourself in the music industry stays the same: you must produce your own beats while still keeping your own brand of music.

Reasonably, it can be quiet daunting to think about creating your own beats. Nonetheless, it’s important that you do your best and see this as a challenge rather than allowing it to discourage you from following your aspirations.

Make Your Beats Count…Start by Mastering Your Genre

Of course, don’t take this advice to the extreme and challenge yourself into developing a totally new genre. While that is surely possible, you might need to broaden your repertoire a bit more before making that your goal. Meanwhile, there is nothing wrong with devoting your precious time to enhancing your skills and expanding your mastery of your preferred genre. Go ahead and dive into your friends’ works and see if that motivates you into forming your own music beats greater than before.

By taking the time to master your genre, you’ve already placed yourself a step ahead of other debuting artists and increasing your potential as a music artist.

One admirable thing about today’s music industry is equipment accessibility for aspiring musicians just like you. These days, it’s not necessary for you to purchase expensive technology for creating your own beats.

Making the beat for your own music requires three main components: midi drums, audio loops, and bass line. These components appy to any kind of music so it’s important for you to understand how they function and what they can add to your music.

A song’s bass line is its underlying frame. It is made up of a collection of notes or music beats that will be played repeatedly and which all other parts of your song would have to work with so that your piece has sense of harmony.

You can devote as much time as you want improving your bass line. If your bass line won’t work, the rest of the track won’t work either.

The second component you must give attention to is the audio loop. This is a favorite choice among many rap & hip hop makers. Most of the time, they are used for revising the principal theme or mood of your music. To create one, you simply mix a set of notes from musical instruments or any other viable source of sound. You can freely play and experiment in any way you want until you hit upon the ideal set of beats.

And last but definitely not the least, make sure you create midi drum patterns which go well with the rest of the piece. You can use one set or pattern of notes or merge different sets. You can do anything as long as it is enhancing instead of detracting from your work.

Sometimes, midi drum patterns aren’t a pattern at all. But instead, they are made up of a diverse set of beats and played as repeating loops and acting as something related to a secondary tier of music tune or beat.

To summarize: in making your beats, always start with building a compelling bass line to stand as your music’s foundation then solidifying it with equally well-developed audio loops and one or several midi drum patterns.

If you’re all set to make your own beats then don’t allow anything to stop you from creating amazing music for the whole world to enjoy.
