Guide To Adding The Feel In Your Hip Hop Tracks

By Delroy Wilkins


When learning about the use of instrumentals, learning sound creation is an important thing to master. This however doesn't mean that sound creation is the only thing to learn in hip hop music production. You should also learn how to create the feel of the music you create. It's a way of self expression and this should be seen in the final mix. In many instances, the feel will overshadow the sound quality within the mix. Three things, balance, image and punch of the instrumentals influence the feel of the music. Therefore, its essential that you consider these things when creating feel within your tracks.

1. Make it Groovy. We hear sound with our ears but groove connects with our bodies. If your instrumentals lack that groove, you are in serious trouble simply because the groove dictates whether you like something or not even before you think about it. With a groove, you can win people over irrespective of the quality and simplicity of the track.

Use unbalanced beats. If the beats have elements that step over each other, the feel of the track will be enhanced. Using unbalanced beats is a great way of creating tension within the track. Using unbalanced beats is a great way of creating climax within a track. Leveling the beats will create the anticlimax or release within the track. Unbalanced beats helps you capture the listener's attention.

Add depth to create an image. Listeners will have a vivid picture when they listen to a track. To make this image even clearer, you should target creation of a 3D image when producing your beats and instrumentals. To create depth, you can use techniques such as interchange of the singers or using resonance to create a spacious effect. Emotion within a song is created using depth.

4. Song Arrangement and Dynamics behind Transitions. Variety is a great thing especially in hip hop mix. Songs which are bland and too repetitive rarely captivate an audience. Before and after the changes in your song's sections, there should be a dynamic transition that will mark the change while blending with the entire mix. The progression and changes in the music are integral parts of your track and you should take notice of how the instrumentals flow when your sound changes directions.

Make every element count. Each track involves the use of a series of beats. Working on your tracks beats ensures that the final production reflects good music production as well as places emphasis on how special the particular track is. Before giving the listeners a track to listen to, work on it until you are satisfied that it will create the feel you wish to achieve.
