If you don't know how to make beats or have never made your own beats before this article will help you get started. Making music is something that can be both at times fun and frustrating, but when you have created something that sounds great you get that awesome feeling of accomplishment.
Here are 7 tips on how to make your own rap or hip hop beats that will get you started.
1.) Choose your style - It's essential to know what kind of music you want to create before making it. There are all kinds of styles you can choose from e.g rap, RNB, techno, hip hop and more.
2.) Choose a producer - Having someone to look up to is always a good for motivation. Choose a well known producer or artist and follow in their foot steps. Get to know what kind of music and what kind of beats they produce and when ever your creating your own beats make them as if you where making it for them and you need their approval.
3.) Planning and Formatting - Another essential part of creating your own beats is formatting. What I mean by this is, you will need to plan or map out the order in which your song will be laid out. Example - intro, verse, chorus, bridge etc. You will need to work out how many bars the intro will have, how many the verses will have, how many bars the chorus will have and so on.
4.) Making your own beats and what to use - Now we all need something to lay down our beats. There are a number of tools, software and equipment you can use but the most common these days would have to be beat making software because it is the most affordable.
Beat making software like FL Studio, Dubturbo, sonic producer and Abelton are all the rage today and will all get the job you need done. But you may want to use a combo of both beat making software and studio gear like an MPC.
They all will include a mixture of sounds of instrumentals like drum machines, synths, guitar and samples of all kinds of instruments.
5.) Laying down your beat - Once you a.) have an idea for a beat and b.) have mapped out the format of your beats its time to get busy laying down your beats into a sequence so it makes a good rhythm. The good thing about beat making software and using an MPC is you can create multiple bars and layer them over the top of each other.
When you play back your beat it will play all the patterns of beats in a combination and if done right you will have one cool sounding beat.
6.) Importing Samples - Another popular way to make cool beats is by importing samples into your mix. What you do is crop a sample of a record or a song and import it into your mix. You can be as creative as you like but the goal is to reproduce something hip and fresh.
7.) Take your time and learn the fundamentals - Like I said at the start of this article making your own beats is both fun and frustrating. It's important to learn the basics and all the fundamentals. Once you learn them everything comes easy and all that is needed is coming up with new and creative ideas.
