Make Your Own Beats - Hip Hop Production Tips & Techniques

There are a lot of talented recording artists that just can’t seem to get there career moving due to the lack of access to professional high quality rap beats, r&b beats and club beats.

Let me be the first to tell you…..Don’t give up.

Take matter into your own hands even if you do not have any natural born talent playing an instrument.

Step #1:

If you own a computer, then you are closer to creating your own beats than you think and all you need to make your first original beat is persistence, practice and small understanding of music basics.


Step #2:

The next step in the beat making process is to master the art of rhythms and this can be done by listening to different genres of music and identifying them rhythms by humming its tone.

After you take time to identify several types of rhythms the next step is purchase a decent keyboard that will allow you to create music sequences and that can also be used in conjunction with beat making software like Reason or Garage Band.

Step #3:

To speed up the process is understanding how to make your first beat you should try learning how to play a simple song like "Happy Birthday" on a keyboard or piano and one of the best teachers can be at ReadMusicFast.com.

Alternative Step:

If you are not financially in the place to purchase small amounts of studio equipment then you should check out Sonic Producer Pro which allows you to create rap beats and r&b beats directly from your computer without having to purchase any equipment what so ever.

If you want to bypass the first 3 steps and the alternative steps given, then I suggest you check out royalty free rap beats offered in membership form. A couple websites you can check out is Mix Me Entertainment, Beats365 and Beats2Rap2.
