Tips For The Beginner Beat Maker

By Delroy Wilkins


There are a couple of routes through which to enter the world of hip hop. You can decide to buy beats and instrumentals online and math them to your lyrics. You can also decide to learn how to make your own beats and lyrics. If you intend to create your own beats, you should consider other artists who would be willing to buy them online. What would they want to listen to? Like with all success stories, creating amazing beats doesn't happen overnight. There are however a couple of things you can do to nurture inspiration and build on your creativity to produce beats.

Make It Attention Grabbing. Your beats are a beast on its own and although hip hop is all about vocals and instrumentals, you can to make the music stand alone. Your beat should have its little quirks and surprising highlights. This means that you should not place the burden of reeling in the audience to the lyrics. By making a great musical arrangement, you can flip the creative button of the MC and give him some inspiration for the verses.

Simplicity at the beginning. Every success came from a small beginning. This is especially true when it comes to beat creation. The desire to create a beat that's successful might be so much that you lose sight of where to start. Simply start with simple cords. Learning and understanding the different cords might be a challenging task but it pays off in the end. Your goal at this point is to master both major and minor cords before advancing to mixing and blending different notes to create a unique and original beat.

Don't change song structure. Many people believe that hip hop songs are significantly different to other genres. While this might be right, hip hop tracks share the same song structure as other genres. They contain intros, choruses and verses just like other genres. It's therefore important that you keep this in mind when creating your beats even if you want to try out something unique. This song structure is universal and humans will tend to appreciate it.

Reinforce the story behind the song. The main reason that hip hop beats are created is to accompany the vocals and instrumentals of the song. Since hip hop is a way of telling stories, the beats should reinforce the story behind the song. Rather than create beats that will only accompany the MCs vocals, you should go a step further and introduce effects within the beat which will relate to the story being told. For example adding reverb effects when the rapper sings about the subway.

The entire industry of beat production is not lost even if you can simply buy beats online. There's so much room for music which more than meets the eye. For new beat makers who are up to the challenge of creating the perfect bit, there's much to learn about creating the perfect set of beats.
