Tips on Making Instrumental Beats
Making instrumental beats is a blast! It’s awesome to see how different artists can use your instrumental beats. But there’s a lot of people making instrumental beats right now, so it can be difficult to find quality people making instrumental beats.
If you want to be successful making instrumental beats, approach the table wisely. Making instrumental beats is an art craft, and whether you realize it or want it to or not, the music will suck you in. In short, don’t start something you can’t finish.
Here are some quick tips to get you started making instrumental beats. Who knows, maybe I’ll be producing your next joint!
1) Use The Best Tools You Can
A beat is only as good as the tools with which it was conceived. If you’ve got a really cheesy and lame setup for making instrumental beats, then the beats you make will be equally cheesy and lame. And we don’t need any more cheesy and lame people making instrumental beats in hip-hop!
So get yourself some top-notch tools. That doesn’t mean the most expensive tools you can find. Find the tools that are easily found around you, because these are the tools that will come together and make up your sound.
I recommend using Sonic Producer for making instrumental beats.
See my full article on it here.
2) Begin with the End in Mind
Keep in mind the reason you’re making instrumental beats. And that is for other people to add their vocals on top. So you’ve got to have an idea of the song structure. You don’t want to give be pushing some beat that is impossible to rap on top of and has no repetitious structure whatsoever.
So just remember to keep it simple. If you’ve got to explain too many things to the person you deliver your beat to, it’s too complex. Tone it down a bit.
3) Try Something New
There’s nothing worse than a watered-down, prefabricated, same-old same-old beat. There’s nothing wrong with drawing inspiration or even downright basing an entire beat off one or two other beats that you really like. This can actually be a good way to kick yourself into gear and avoid never starting anything at all. But take what you’ve heard and build from it instead of making a bland imitation.
If your beat is sounding too stale, try something ridiculous. What’s goofy to you might be what makes it awesome to someone else. You never know, so always try new things.
4) Have Fun!
Always remember why you’re doing what you’re doing. Hopefully the reason is for fun. Music is made to be enjoyed. So enjoy it!
My motto is:
“Enjoy what you do and others will, too.”
