Using Garageband For Hip Hop Beats

Garageband is a wonderful tool to use if you're looking to get started in making beats or music production. The loops especially make it easy to get started covering multiple music genres including Hip Hop and R&B. Using and experimenting with loops in your beats will give you a feel for what style you should go for. However these loops are not that good and there are only a few, which limits your option for making Hip Hop beats. There are a few options available that could rectify this problem.
Your first option would be to by a Garageband Jam Pack, specifically Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools. This will add much more Hip Hop oriented loops to the loops library and instantly give you more ideas of how to utilize them. You might even hear some familiar-sounding loops used in recent hits. Remix Tools also adds more software instruments. Among these software instruments are the classic 808 and 909 drum machines to name a few. The 808 drum machine sound has made a huge comeback in recent years and will definitely add some old school flavor to your beats.
There are also tons of third-party loop-packs available on-line. Some free and other not so free. The third party loop packs available span multiple sub-genres of Hip Hop including West Coast, Crunk and more traditional sounding hip hop. These loops are usually made by DJ's and Producer's with some music industry experience and some are pretty good. Just check that they are royalty free before purchasing.
Another option would be to use the existing tools available to you in Garageband such as the software instruments. You can select one of the Hip Hop drum machine software instruments and compose a beat using a MIDI controller hooked up to the computer or just the computer keyboard. All you need to do is play the beat on the keyboard and record in Garageband. These can be saved as loops or in mp3 format for later use. What you can also do is use existing loops and manipulate them using the edit function in Garageband. This can be done only with loops that we're made using the software instruments. All you need to do is load a loop you want in Garageband, click the edit (scissor button) and from there you can manipulate the drums sounds. After doing this, a neat trick is to slow the tempo of the beat to make it more rappable. To make a loop more rappable by changing the tempo, select project in the LCD and change it to between 100-110.
