How To Create Quality Rap Beats For Sale

As the music industry continues to crumble due to illegal digital downloads many music producers are turning to the internet to generate income, however, many of them are falling into the same trap which is causing their beat sales to decline.

I call this trap “The Hot Beats But Bad Mixing Trap”.

Most music producer that specialize in rap beats create hot beats but fail to arrange, mix and master their beats.

Top music producers like Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Kanye West and Dark Child spend countless hours tweaking their beats before they offer them to recording artists.

In order to become a major music producer in the game you have to first create the beat and then record the instruments that you feel would make the track sound professional. After this is done step away from the beat for at least 6-8 hours.

This “step-away” process will allow you to come back to the beat with a fresh pair of ears to see if you need to add or delete certain tracks. Once this process is complete, start arranging your track and then concentrate on mixing and mastering it.
