How To Make HipHop Beats ! 5 Simple Steps
When you’re only starting out how to make beats it can be fun and frustrating at the same time. Trust me I was there. However it really is simpler then you think. If you are making a beat here are ten tips that will get yo said.
1. Pick a style- Know the style of beat you want to make before you begin making it. Like rnb,rap,pop, and so on. There have been plenty of beats that I made and couldn’t figure out what style it was.
2. Pick A Major Artist- think of a known artist that you would want to make the beat for. Like if you selected a style a rap, think now what rap artist are you wanting to make the beat for. Attempt to imagine that artist on your beat. This will make your hip hop beat-making experience a ton easier.
3. Listen to Their Song- Take a hear the rap artist you are making the beat for songs. See the style. Get a feel for the sort of hip-hop beats the artist raps over.
4. Formatting The Song- critical. Formatting is, the introduction, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, etc . That is’s all it is but essentially you simply change the order around however you feel like it. Switch on the radio and see how your fave artist formats there song. When instruments come in, when they drop out. The most simple form to begin with is, two or 4 bar introduction, 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, sixteen bar verse, 8bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8 bars chorus. This is the most basic beat-making song format. This is very common in rap.
5. Laying down the beat- I’ve learned that for starters, it’s easier to begin with the drums. Kick, Snare, hi hat, are generally a excellent start. Record a pattern for 4 bars with those first. Then layer that with perhaps some toms, cow-bell, symbols, etc .
