In order to begin making beats on your computer you will need to at least know the basics of beat structuring, audio looping and the software available that will enable you to create your own beats. Whether you plan to use a computer to do this or not you will still need to know this in order to create your very own Hip-Hop beats.  Here are 4 tips to help you get started:

1: Before you can even start making beats you will need to ensure that you have a decent computer that has quite a good processing speed. It doesn’t have to be anything special; it just needs to be able to handle some simple software. Once you start to create your own beats on your computer we promise you will find it much easier than you ever did in the past.

2: If you are going to learn to make your own beats properly then there are a few technical things you will need to know For example you will need to become familiar with MIDI and learn how to use a sequencer. We would advice that you explore this yourself and within quite a short time you will be able to become familiar with these things. Using a computer to create your beats will allow you to create things much quicker and easier than you could imagine.

3: There are also a few other resources that you will need to become familiar with in order to create your own beats. These include Audio loops, Rex Loops, Rex Drums and also many different beat samples. You will need to mix your knowledge of these resources with your ability to create and structure your own hip-hop beats with the computer software you have.

4: “Understanding music theory usually plays a big part in whether or not a producer becomes a success when creating beats”. The quote above is how a top underground rap producer explains the process of making hip-hop beats.

Once you understand the 4 points we have laid out in this article for you, as well as understanding music theory then you are well on your way to becoming a top Hip-Hop producer. If you learn to understand sampling to a good level then you will find that it will make the process of creating your very own beats even easier.

Almost everyone in the beat making industry has different styles and techniques that they will put into practice. Here is a quote from a leading rap producer concerning the subject:

“If you’re going to be creating your own beats then you had better be using a computer otherwise you will get smoked”

So what are you waiting for? Get a computer hooked up and start making your very own beats today!

Let’s start with beats.

First of all you need to decide what sort of beat you want. Do you want a standard club style “Boom” beat or do you want something a little more sophisticated? If you’re not sure what I mean, all music is arranged into a series of different beats. In these blocks of beats 2, 4 ,8 and 16 are the most commonly used.

To make a 4 beat track the process is extremely simple. You will just need to find a good kick drum hit or sample and copy and paste it into your new track for the entire duration of the song. You can also use alternating kicks; this is quite a common process. A lot of people also have some kind of processing on some of the samples.

Now, a ‘break beat’ style track uses a variable beat which means it isn’t just the kick drum all the way through the track as we have previously discussed.

For example, let’s pretend that you currently have a 4 beat track and you want to break beat at a certain point. What you would need to do is put a kick drum on each 3rd beat for the duration of 3 measures and then after that put it on every other beat for just 2 measures. You can then use other synths and noises on any of the other beats on the 6 measures. After this you can copy and paste what you have so far into the entire track. You have now made a break beat track.

One of the pieces of software that makes this process particularly easy is Acid Music Studios, using this piece of software you can edit the track exactly how you want by making use of the programs cut, copy and paste tools. You can use these to copy and paste the 6 measures you have onto the rest of the track.

If you plan on creating a track that only has a steady kick beat all the way through, then you will need other elements to help fill the track up. The most simple way to do this is to add another percussion track on top of what you already have, then simply adjust the volume so that they match.

I hope this explains a little bit more how to start to create your very own dance track. There are just a few things you need to remember in order to become good at this, one of the main things is that you shouldn’t be scared to experiment. Remember to never throw away anything that you have done, there is always a possibility that you might think of something good to do with it at a later date. Secondly, remember to use your instinct, if it doesn’t sound good, it doesn’t matter if it is technically correct, music is all about how it sounds.

Downbeat and Leftfield is an extensive sound collection. You will find a host of sounds covering styles like HipHop, DownTempo, Ambient and more. The sound quality is nothing but staggering thruout the collection. You will find all types of sounds like loops (rx2, wav), drum hits, multi-samples (NN-XT) and one shot samples. Some of the drumgrooves are played live which gives a great feel to them. Others are programmed with great care. One thing i do find is that the drumloop collection could have been bigger. There are basically 22 main loops with some variations per loop. I would have liked to see less variations and more original loops, but what’s there really is of a good quality and after all more isn’t always better. The loops come in wav and rx2 format plus you”ll find the individual drumhits used in the loops in their own folder for making even more variations to the loop or to simple mix the different drumhit kits with each other to come to totally new loops. Endless posibility’s!

Also present on the CD are instrument and bass loops. The instrument loops include the well known vintage keyboards as well as pads, strings, woodwind (Sax and Flute) and vocoder loops. All very musical and of a high quality. The bass loops are groovy and mainly made with bass guitars with a few of them made with sythesizers. There’s some really funky bass riffs in there which will definately inspire many of us.

The structure of the CD is somewhat chaotic at first glance. Directly on the CD you will find folders for the different types of sounds which could have been presented in a more compact way for faster browsing. But this ofcourse doesn’t take away anything of the quality of the sounds on offer. You’ll definately love this disc if you are into hiphop, dnb, downtempo, triphop, etc, etc.
