Hip-hop music has become one of the most popular styles of music in United States of America. It consists of two components such as rapping and record scratching. These two components when combined with break dancing and graffiti develop the important elements of hip-hop music. If you wish to enter in the field of hip-hop beat production, you need to understand more about hip-hop music.


Hip-Hop beat production


Modern hip-hop beat production utilizes sequencers, samplers, turntables, synthesizers, drum machines and live instrumentation. Hip-hop production may involve a drum beat, a bassline, sampled music or originally sequenced loops. Beat and vocals are two basic parts of typical hip-hop song. Sampling and beats are the basic elements for producing the hip-hop music.


Sampling


Sampling is an integral part of hip-hop bit production. Samples are taken from the records and imported into the sequencers or samplers. Producers generally opt for creating totally original recordings using the computer-generated beats. Re-record or overdub the sampled part with the live musician is another solution.


Beats


The drum beat is another important element of hip-hop beat production. It is very essential to understand the beats to know the hip-hop construction. Beats include the following-

• MIDI Drum patterns or audio drum loops which include the complete drum tracks

• A Bassline (MIDI sequence)

• Dubs and snips (samples that accent and give character)

• Supporting orchestration (could be synch pads, horns, string sections)


The beat can be short or long and it is 8 bars in its shortest form. If long, it may consist of different parts for the chorus and verse and may add introduction, break and ending.


The vocal tracks in the hip-hop song consist of


• Main vocal-main vocalist performs the rap

• Second vocal- a guest vocal or second vocal that takes a verse

• Background vocals-created to offer a sense of participation by a whole group

• Overdubbed vocals-the main vocal may be doubled, tripled or quadrupled during the chorus and other parts


Recording


For hip-hop beat production, a multi-track recorder is typically used for recording. Nowadays, digital ADAT tape recorders have become popular. Use of a PC as a multi-track recorder with or without outboard can be good alternative. Professional producers generally prefer the condenser microphone for studio recording because of their high quality and wide-range response. The dynamic microphone is a primary alternative to expensive condenser microphone.


Samplers


Hardware samplers have been involved in hip-hop beat production. Samplers outfitted with pads such as MV8000 and MPC can be conveniently used. Software samplers such as Kontakt 2, Halion, Gigastudio, Battery are quite good and can provide more flexibility if your computer is capable to run inside a sequencer. A control pad surface like the Akai MPD16 can be used to provide some hardware control over your software.


Synthesizers


Synthesizers are frequently used for hip-hop beat production. They are used for basslines, melody, for sound synthesis and as percussive stabs. In addition to the analog synthesizer, old FM synths such as cheap Casios, the DX7 and its offspring and other digital synths can be useful for hip-hop elements.

With the incredible growth of Internet technology it is now possible to download a hip-hop beat maker wherever you are in the world 24 hours a day. There are lots of different programs to choose from with a huge price range and a huge variation in quality.

You can spend as little as $20 or as much as $1000 just for one download. Yes there are a few free versions but if you go for this option you will be left wanting more. For example many of the free software programs do not allow you to edit or export your music. So you could be left with a track that has a bunch of errors and it can only be played on your computer.

Obviously I don’t recommend spending a huge amount of money unless you are a professional producer and own a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art recording studio!

For the home-based musician there are plenty of incredibly high quality downloads that produce professional beats for as little as $30.

The best programs in this price range will have all of the features you need. Including a full edit feature so you can perfect your track, a simple interface that allows you to drag and drop your sounds where you want them, a variety of beats and sound effects and the all-important export feature.

I like to be able to burn my tracks directly onto CD or export them as an MP3, both are highly useful and I recommend downloading a program that lets you do that.

Before you download a hip-hop beat maker go to a website that reviews one or two of the best programs out there. Stick to a price range of between $20 and $60 to ensure you get good value but still good quality.

HOW TO CREATE A GOOD SOUNDING BEAT USING A BEAT MAKER - THIS IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK
 

  To determine whether your beat maker is living up to its guaranteed benefits, your beat maker should at least have the standard features that are readily available at your fingertips. Your beat maker must have a easy access option for exporting your beats to mp3 and must contain many sounds for you to work with it. With the Sonic Producer, you can truly deliver your Rap or Hip Hop beats to the masses in a short period of time (this was impossible to achieve a few years ago, all accolade to the latest of technologies) with this software.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RAP BEATS

Understanding the music’s basic structure, is very important if you really want to start making beats on your own and taking them to the next level. The most important advice that I can give is that if you truly want to produce good music, you must understand what makes good music “good music”.

SIMPLE STEPS IN MAKING A HIP HOP BEAT

Start listening to your chosen artist songs and by listening to your rap artist’s song to learn more about their style of music. By listening to your chosen artist music you will get a basic feel for the type of Hip Hop beat that your artist raps over. If you are making or at least trying to make a beat, these tips will get you all started. You have to pan/panning your beat by having an instrument to the right (all the way that is), or to the left, and anywhere in between. You have to put the mix down which is very important or else you will end up having a poor mix, thus having wasted your time. Making beats is way easier than you think. The drums must hit it hard.

HOW TO MAKE HIP HOP BEATS USING HIP HOP BEATS MAKING SOFTWARE?
There is an additional bonus to having beat making software where as you can easily edit the beats and track your changes as you move on with your recording. Beat making software will help you and guide you on how to structure your beats which will definitely cause other people to dance on the dance floor.

TIPS ON HOW TO BUY INSTRUMENTAL BEATS SOFTWARE ONLINE

If you plan on buying more than one beat from one website, at least ask its producer if he/she can offer you a deal for bulk buying. Do business with producers who give their contact information to you. Many sites do offer a exclusive and a non-exclusive licensing for Hip Hop beats.

MAKE BEATS JUST LIKE A PRO
In order to make beats like the pro’s, you must perform research on the different software and hardware that is readily available online. By producing, you actually create the beats or manufacture the beats and you will be called a producer by making your own beats. Once you have mastered the art of “listening” and being able to determine the different types of beats or sounds within music, you are officially headed on the right track with making great rap beats.

WHAT SOFTWARE TO USE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RAP BEATS

Although the Roland’s MV8800 has some similarities to the MPC, the MV8800 has some features that seemingly converts MPC user’s to MV8800.

THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR SOFTWARE ONLINE
Who knows where you will be a year after you have started making good sounding beats with Sonic Producer, you maybe one of the hottest producers.

So you want to get into hip-hop/rap/R&B production and you don’t really know how? Well, it’s way easier than you may think. With just a few items, you could be well on your way to being the next Timbaland, Dre, or Alchemist. 

So where do you start? First off, you need to make sure you have the right software. A lot of people out there like to sample beats and use other people’s music, but you want to be original. At least in the beginning, because if you are like I was, you probably want to develop your own style. Here is my list of the essential start-up software you need to make beats: 

Reason 4.0 – Propellerhead’s Reason is one of the most dynamic pieces of software you can have in your arsenal. It’s relatively inexpensive, yet it allows you to produce nearly any sound you can think of via a vast range of synths, drum machines, and effects. It is very user friendly, and produces a powerful, professional sound. Nearly every major producer has used Reason at one point in his or her career. 

Fruity Loops Studio – Many producers use Fruity Loops to create entire productions. What really separates FL from Reason is that it has the ability to become a VST instrument when used with some mixing and recording programs such as Cubase or Pro-Tools. (These are the crème’ de la crème’ – but not necessities when you are just starting out) 

Sony ACID Pro – This is a cool application that allows you to manipulate the beats you created in Reason or FL. It is user friendly as well and works great on any system. 

That’s pretty much it for making beats. My choice is Reason, but as you try them all out, you may find that you like FL Studio better or a combination of the two. Its all about finding what you are most comfortable with. Now, you have your software and have made a sick beat. Now what? The following is my recommendation for recording & mixing software: 

Adobe Audition – This used to be called Cool Edit Pro. It uses a very simple interface in which you are able to load your beat tracks and record your vocal tracks. This can also be great if you want to use live instruments in addition to your beats. 

That’s really all you need for software. Something to make the music, and something to record it on. Now, you ask, what about hardware? 

Samson CO1 Cardiod Condenser Microphone – This is a great studio mic. It runs about $70 and sounds great. Make sure to get a few cables, boom stand, and wind screen. (about $50) total. 

Samson S 48v Phantom Power Supply – You will need this to power your mic. Since studio mics create their own power, the phantom power source is basically the device that harnesses that power and sends it through your mic. 

Any MIDI capable keyboard – This is one of the tools you will use with Reason or Fruity Loops to make beats. MIDI will allow you to play the sound files on your keyboard, rather than on your computer. Make sure to also get a MIDI to USB cable so that you can attach it to your sound card. 

M Audio Audiophile 2496 Interface – This is your awesome sound card. It runs less than a hundred bucks and allows you to hook up all your gear to your pc. 

Samson Resolv 40a Active Studio Monitors – While ordinary stereo speakers will do just fine, these all you to hear exactly how your tracks will sound when played over your mp3 player, radio, or local club. 

And that’s it! You have all you need to get started.
