What do I need to Create Great Beats?

Creating good beats is a creative process. It’s not just a question of some formula you put together like a jigsaw puzzel.

There are patterns of course and you should use them. They give you framework from which to work from. However its still a creation that grows out of your personal taste, knowledge, and technical skill.

The truth is that to make good quality music online you will need a proper recording studio, some good samples and also quite a bit of knowledge about music production

In order for your creativity to reach its fullest potentional you really to need to have the tools that can aid you to fulfill your desires.

TIPS:

1- Listen to what others of doing. Of course you listen to music but I mean listen now differently.

Can you distinguish how their tracks are built up? Do you recognize the rythmic pattern? Can you tell

what sounds they are using? Listening in this way can give you hints as to which directions to experiment .

listening towhat others are doing is a good way to become knowledgable about various styles and

possibilites.

2- Choose a user friendly DESKTOP AUDIO WORKSTATION. Sure you can get your beats made online

but the drawbacks to it make it a no go area for me. The time and creativity I put into creating my music

really needs to be worth it in the end and with online studios you often only get accesss to inferno mp3

files that in the end don’t sound all that good. There is also the possibility that a time delay can occur

that will result in it being impossible to get your other tracks synchronized well (if at all). So go for a

software pakkage that offers proffessional quality 44.1 WAV stereo files possibilities. This will insure

that your end result will be good quality.

With a really good user friendly inferface creating a beat can be as simple as tapping a key on your

computer keyboard like tapping out a rythm on a drum with your fingertips.

A Keyboard synth will also use the computer keyboard as a piano keyboard to tap in notes.

3- Look for tutorials in the pakkage. These will gude you through the entire proces of making music

with the software studio..Some software is available (usually for free) that leave you high and dry

after installation to figure it all out yourself. This is not desireable.

So what you want is a complete online Digital Audio Workstation you can use to create pretty much any sort of urban or electronic beat with thousands of beats to choose from and also the possibility to use the software to put your music together as well.

Ideally a software that enables a beginner to get up and running fast and start learning how to make their own beats, then once you have learnt the basics you can move on and start making some more complex music!
