subject: Tips For Making Beats On Your Own [print this page] Have you ever wished to create your own beat? Producing music is fun and can be quite lucrative if you get good at it. In recent years, producing high quality, professional sounding beats has becoming much easier.
It is no longer only for the experts of Hollywood producers with expensive equipment. In fact you can create real studio quality music with just your computer and some beat making software.
There are several of them out there. They range from $30 to over $300 dollars a piece. That doesn't involve the sound loops that are typically separate purchases. In order to produce detailed tracks, you will need thousands of high quality loops.
However, a lot of times they come with more than enough to help you start. Usually you can open the box and be making a beat within minutes.
If you have ever tried to figure out how it works, it is easier than you may think. Beat making software basically synchronizes the sound loops for you and keeps them in tempo with each other.
All you truly must do is choose the appropriate loops that go well with one another, and time the song out. You also usually have the ability to edit or distort loops for even more customization. Your loops should be categorized into common groups like drums, bass, guitars, synth, etc.
Normally they will be broken down further into sub-groups like hi-hat, kick, snare, etc. Now you simply pick your loops and build. Once you get it down, you will be able to create a professional track in a short time. What you do next is up to you.
Once you make your own beat, you have a variety of options. You can upload it to the web, you can sell it, or you can lay vocals on top of it. You can do just about anything you want. A lot of people create beats on the web just for fun, but others make a living off of it. It's all up to you.
So which beat creating software is the most effective for you? Before you start dropping hundreds of dollars on expensive beat making software, you may want to consider your options.
I have tried to make use of a number of them from the $30 dollar software all the way up to $300+ and I have to tell you the differences are not huge. Until you have a contract producing music, you really don't need most of the features you get with the $300 package, and frankly, you don't want them.
