Elements Of Great Instrumental Beats

By Delroy Wilkins


A classic track is one which is popular with everyone regardless of age or gender. If someone hears just a few bars of such a song, he or she is able to sing along and easily name it and whoever is performing it. But what is the reason behind a song's popularity? The simple reason is that the artist has carefully brought together all elements of music creation to come up with something people enjoy listening to. The tracks that make it to the top charts are the best there are. Understanding some basics will enable you create such tracks. If you want to use the best hip hop beats and instrumentals, you will need to understand some of the features that make up such beats.

Keep it Tight - IT is possible to find beats that include a lot of extra sounds and lots of exciting sounds. The addition of snares, cymbals and kick drums can enhance many beats if they are done properly. If the beat goes out of control, it becomes a mix of sounds that is not pleasant. Make sure that all of the elements of your beat work together in a tight rhythm that makes your music better. The same goes for the instrumentals. Do not just add instrumentals for the sake of adding them.

Fill up the gaps. Any gap within your song should be filled up. Gaps will make the listener lose track of the song and it is virtually impossible to get them listening again. The best beats and instrumentals are used to not only create groove but also fill in gaps within a song. They can be used to fill in gaps found in transitions within tracks giving the song a smooth cohesive feel.

Edit the beats and instrumentals. The internet offers a huge library of beats and hip hop instrumentals. With such a wide variety to choose from, you can easily find the beats and instrumentals should you wish to purchase. However, using all the beats and instrumentals bought isn't the best way to create a hit. There are times when editing will be necessary to ensure that you get that beat that best matches your lyrics. Always take time to ensure that you have the right amount of beats and instrumentals to use in your tracks.

In the end the key to making the best instrumentals and hip hop beats is practice. Take the time to find sounds you like and techniques that help you get there with your music. It is something that will pay off in the long run.
