An Equipment Guide On How To Make Beats

By Odessa Edwards


Equipments are the primary requirements as you learn how to make beats. Computers and digital audio workstation software are the most important equipment. A Midi controller is equipment that is highly recommended as you try to make music but as much as it is recommended, it is not that basic and you can therefore make music rhythm without it.

Understand the basic structure of the music rhythm you want to come up with as the rules of the different music types differ a lot. Hip hop rhythm for example has syncopated kicks and open and close hit hats can be used to create the flare. Open hats are more common for the contemporary sounds and are mainly used in crank and glam rap music.

In the case where you want to come up with hip hop sounds, you will have to make an instrumental loop again and again. This is because a loop will come up with a good hip hop beat and most producers use different types of instruments and tools to come up with the best instrumental loop. Vintage sounds and orchestral hits are some of the instruments that are used by renowned producers such as Dr. Dre and timberland.

Everybody needs a good system, a system with high speed and great performance. You need a computer that works fast and since this is the case, shop for a product with a reasonable Random Access Memory (RAM). In addition to that, make sure your disk space is enough and in case you may want data back up, the use of removable storage media with enough space would be recommendable.

Fruity Loops is the most preferred music generation software as it is cheaper and easy to use. This is mainly for personal computers and for those starting the art of music making. In the case of a Mac, a simple version of the logic Pro known as the garage band would be the beast one to start out with.

The device that you use to communicate with the virtual instruments of the digital audio workstation is known as the midi controller. It is usually the normal black and white piano in the form of a keyboard. Using this keyboard will make it easier to create music, as this would be used directly to come up with the rhythm.

If you want to come up with a product that is of the highest quality, you may need high definition speakers as part of your equipment. Normally, preferences are given to monitor speakers since their make are suitable and perfect for audio use. To coordinate your speaker and the computer system, you need to make sure you have an audio interface in place.

Once you have learned how to make beats and you have the qualities of a good producer, you will need additional tools in your digital audio workstation. These additional tools are referred to as plug-ins. They are used in conjunction with the music generation software to provide a more exciting music rhythm.
