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. When creating beats, the point is that you do not want to be an over night perfectionist when you do write music so take your time and don’t rush. When you create a beat, it’s always a good idea that you start with your percussion or drum sounds first. Best of all, the stand-alone Make Rap Beats Software should cost no more than 40 bucks.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RAP BEATS?
—————————————

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”. If beat sampling is just not your thing, and you would rather make or create your own beats, it is going to be important that you start taking piano lessons.

Remember that the drums are one of the most important instruments when making a beat. You have to layer your beat with some toms, cowbells, symbols, or layer your beat with any instrument that you want to use. 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 layer your beat because layering is what what makes the beat great. You should never ever distort a track. 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. To create a hot melody, you may want to learn how to play the keyboard.

HOW TO MAKE HIP HOP BEATS USING HIP HOP BEATS MAKING SOFTWARE?
—————————————

You can experiment with your beats by simply mixing it with other sounds and by saving as a audio file. Good beats out there practically are sold for 10,000 up to 500,000 dollars.

Again, contact the producer of the instrumental beat first before you make any judgments about their professionalism or business conductivities. Even famous Rap Artists now look for their instrumental Hip Hop beats online. Here are the things that you should do before you decide to purchase instrumental beats online:

If you plan on purchasing instrumental beats online, you have to know the difference of a exclusive and a non-exclusive right to an instrumental Hip Hop beat.

MAKE BEATS JUST LIKE A PRO
—————————————

In order for you to make the beats that you need for your Hip Hop track, you can hit the key/s in whichever way you desire. If you are the producing a beat for someone, you are solely responsible for making the music sound good. In order for you to create good sounding beats, you must have a good ear for listening to different types beats and sounds.

Pro Tools vs. Sonic Producer Who Is Deadliest?

Reviews for beat makers are popping up all over the Internet and with so many options, what is an aspiring producer to choose?

It’s important to keep in mind that not all beat making software is created equal. You need one that has all of the great features you are looking for so that you can take your music to the next level – especially if you are an up-and-coming producer.

Lets start off by looking at Pro Tools, which some producers swear to be the grand daddy of beat making. It can do everything, from recording your own audio tracks to enhancing them with thousands of plug-ins.

If you know how to use Pro Tools, it can basically do everything – even cook breakfast for you, if you know how to use it.

But like anything, there is a good side and a bad side. Who wants to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to get a basic version of Pro Tools, set up and buy expensive hardware, buy expensive monitors, baby-sit tons and tons of cords, and either spend years learning how to use the software, or thousands of dollars for more training – and you still haven’t made any beats yet! Who wants to do that?

With my own studio, I have more than $10,000 dollars invested in it and I am very happy with the music I produce. However, this is insane and risky for someone who is just starting out as a producer.

Don’t spend $10,000 right off the bat, Start small and grow fast.

You may be wondering, “where can I find all the relevant features of Pro Tools, keep my money in my wallet and still make some sick beats in minutes?”

The answer is – Sonic Producer. This software has everything you need to get started making top-notch beats right away. It has a 16-track built in mixer, virtual drum pad, virtual piano key set and thousands of sounds.

Did I mention that even my 7 year old nephew knows how to use it and he can lay down beats in seconds?

Sonic Producer is online software, so you don’t have to buy expensive hardware, rent or buy expensive plug-ins, you don’t even need to buy cords. All you need is a computer with a keyboard and mouse.

Another great thing about Sonic Producer is that it is very reasonably priced at well under $40 U.S.D. and you get unlimited use and all the features included in the one time fee.

Another option up-and-coming producers should look at is Acoustica’s BeatCraft. Like Sonic Producer, BeatCraft is a well-priced beat maker and is getting great reviews all across the board.

BeatCraft is getting top shelf reviews because it is very simple to use, includes a full functioning virtual drum machine.

Just like Sonic Producer, BeatCraft does not need expensive hardware, or expensive plug-ins. All you need is a computer with a mouse and you are well on your way to exporting your beats to either .WAV format or MP3.

The point I am trying to get across is that most beat maker reviews will never tell you these little details and will simply list features you may never use on a beat maker that will break the bank.

If you are new to music production and want to make your own beats, either Sonic Producer or BeatCraft are excellent places to start.

Why? Because they are inexpensive, easy to use and have very short learning curves. This is certainly not the case with Pro Tools.

I have friends who have been working with ProTools for years, have invested thousands and thousands of dollars and still haven’t been able to make beats nearly as good as my 7 year old nephew with Sonic Producer.

I don’t want to bash Pro Tools, it is a top choice if you have the time and the money to invest into learning it. But for those of us who are looking for something that can make solid beats NOW, give Sonic Producer or BeatCraft a try – It’s a no brainer.

As a beat maker there are other tools you should consider to take you into that next level once you’ve chosen your sequencer (or Digital Audio Workstation). First, before I get any further, I would like to remind you that you’ll always hear others claim that a certain tool is better than the other. Like I mentioned earlier, it’s kind of like the Mac vs. PC discussion: it’s never ending! The same holds true for beats, whether it’s MPC vs. MV3000, Reason vs. FL Studio, or Cubase vs. Logic. There is no better; only best for you. Try not to get caught up into all of that, because in the end it all comes down to your ability as an artist to use your creativity to create something, while effectively utilizing the tools you have at your disposal. A good producer should be able to become a master of his or her own tools. A good way determine whether you’ll need to expand your production arsenal is by looking at what you already have and the style of music you intend on creating then figuring out what’s limiting you. This is the best way of gauging whether you should buy new gear because software and hardware is not cheap and investing in either or both of these things can mean a couple hundred or thousand of dollars spent. This free guide is about making beats on a tight-pocketed budget, so I’ll detail what I did and strictly outline some costs incurred as a result. When I did this evaluation myself early on, I realized that the most limiting factor was the variety of sounds I had which clued me into what I needed at the time, which was more sounds to work with.

Sounds:

In addition to containing nearly all the tools you’ll need to begin making beats, FL Studio also comes with some stock sounds to get your production game started. Bundled with FL Studio is some drum kits, bass tones, and several other sounds such as strings, synths, percussion, etc. While these sounds may help get you started, sooner you’ll find that they get used and re-used fast and you’ll need to load up on some newer sounds to stay creative.

Sampled Sounds:

Obtaining newer sounds can be done in several ways. A common technique is by sampling old records and has been popularized by producers such as Kanye West, Pete Rock, and the RZA. There are several techniques used when sampling music. While some people loop grooves and breaks, others choose to segment or “chop” components of the original loop to create something completely different than the original. A master of this technique is DJ Premier. By studying the sound of DJ Premier you’ll see that he barely just loops his samples and rather chops them up to the point where the original is barely recognizable. Key to sampling is having a good ear for what to sample. This is why record hunting or “crate digging” is a complex art on its own. Record collectors also known as crate diggers are constantly in search of records for a sound or a combination of unique sounds to create their beats. Whether it’s a horn stab, an ethnic instrument’s sound, or a drum break, as a hip hop producer, you should develop a keen sense of collecting, using, and transforming sounds. FL Studio has various tools to do exactly this. You can record sounds into FL Studio with either your own sound editor, or using the mixer in FL Studio. If you are a producer who plans on doing a lot of sampling, you may want to consider purchasing a turntable and mixer. And don’t forget to save some cash for the records you’ll be sampling from!

Sound Modules:

Sound modules are electronic instruments that contain a bank of sounds that rely on an external interface (such as a keyboard controller or a sequencer) to trigger its internal sounds. Usually this is accomplished through MIDI, a protocol typically used in electronic music. A whole book can be written about MIDI, its features, and advantages but since this guide is supposed to get you started rather than confuse you already, I’ll keep it brief. In a nutshell, MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and is an industry standard communication protocol in electronic music. It is used for communication between interconnected electronic music devices through MIDI messages (no audio is transfered), sent from the sending device to the receiver. So in relation to sound modules, MIDI messages are sent from either the sequencer or a keyboard controller to trigger the sounds on the module. In essence, these MIDI messages can be sent in the form of musical notes, and typically dictate how they will be played by the sound module. An example of the properties MIDI messages can send are things like velocity, volume, timings, etc. Sound modules, in rack form, are a good option because they are usually cheaper than buying the keyboard version which essentially contains the same sounds such as drum kits, bass, and other instruments. For example, The Yamaha Motif ES sound module is several hundreds of dollars cheaper than it’s keyboard counterpart, but lacks some features the keyboard version may offer, notably the keys, sliders and knobs, and smaller display. While sound modules can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, there is yet another solution for us trying to stick to a tight budget, and that’s where the world of VSTs come in handy. Now if you’re thinking, “Damn, another term I’ve got to remember” but you’ll be glad to know this one. VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology and is basically software replacements for real hardware instruments. Many instrument companies who have traditionally made hardware instruments are now putting them out in software form as VST plug-ins. These VST plug-ins can then be loaded as a channel into FL Studio and played as if it were a hardware device connected via MIDI cable. E-MU, who originally came out with the Proteus 2000 hardware sound module, no longer produce it and have now come out with the Proteus X which sells for about $150. The Proteus X features the same Composer sound bank as the original Proteus 2000 created in 1999. Additional sound banks can be purchased through E-MU’s website such as the Mo’Phatt and Planet Earth for only $50 which were both popular hardware sound modules.

Sound Libraries and Sample CDs:

Last, but certainly not least, another potential source for new sounds are from Sound Library CDs. Sound Libraries are usually a bunch of sampled sounds, such as drum kits, bass tones, percussion, stabs, or sound effects collected and compiled by the vendor, usually in .wav or .aif format. These vary widely in prices and can be anywhere from $10 to several hundred dollars, depending on the quality and how extensive the sound library is. While I haven’t purchased any sound libraries on CD before, I have heard people who rely a great deal on them and have no doubt that they come in handy. A very intriguing sample CD is one called “All the Breaks” which contains 300 drum breaks all in one CD for your sampling or chopping pleasure. With the wealth of all these news sounds at your disposal you may find you need a more efficient way of auditioning them and playing them. This is where having a MIDI controller may come in handy.

You may be wondering what tools you should use for online beat making. There are a number of tools out there now for online beat making. When appropriately combined with the right offline tools, you can create the best sounding original beats possible.

The best part about online beat making is that membership to online beat makers often includes free lessons on how to make beats online. These lessons can prove invaluable because as you start making more advanced beats, you will often have questions on how to implement a certain effect or use a certain loop. This is why I like the online beat making program called Sonic Producer. Membership to their website includes free online beat making lessons. The membership over there is worth it just for access to the tutorial videos, but when you add on the beat making software it just can’t be beat.

For cutting up samples, audio tracks, and other small audio work I’d suggest using the open source tool called Audacity. This is completely free and lets you do basic audio editing which will be important, especially if you use an online beat making suite like Sonic Producer, because you can use the audio you edit as samples in your beats.

Finally, you may want to use an instrument if you have one. Sonic Producer lets you do keyboard sets and integrate them into your beats. Keyboards and instruments can be invaluable to online beat making because you can set certain samples to keys, and this lets you play live DJ sets if you ever feel like. It works out nicely when you can export to mp3 (which you can with SP), burn your beats to a cd, and play a live set with your samples at a party.
