Make Beats

Before you begin to make beats you need to ask yourself-----Why am I doing this? Is it for money, fame, or is making beats something you feel… is a part of you! There is nothing wrong with making money or fame. But the career minded beat maker knows that money and fame does not come overnight.

The beat making industry is filled with one hit wonders who instead of staying true to their craft fell off the map. Yeah-- fad followers do get paid, but once the dance has become old or people are not saying that phrase anymore it is hard for a fad follower to find themselves.

So basically what I am saying is when you make beats as in everything else in life being yourself is your number one asset. Next, (if you don’t already know) you need to learn bars, measures, beats, time signature, tempo, and music theory. You don’t have to memorize these things to be able to spit them on request just know, for yourself what they are and how they are used in beat making.

Other things like how to stack, eq, and compress will come with time and practice. Do not go out and buy the most expensive beat making hardware or software. It is not about the machine -----It is the beat maker that is using it!!! Work on developing your skills and you’ll be able to make a fire as beat no matter what machine is in front of you--- They all basically function the same.

Groove, groove, groove…….If you don’t remember anything else remember this! It is not about who plays the best or the most instruments. There are beat makers (that I personally know) who cannot read sheet music cannot play instruments but know how to groove and they are getting paid well for it. I also know classically trained---Graduates from this school and that school (don’t want to bad mouth the school –so I won’t name names) who can’t produce sh*t because they are so limited by their higher learning they don’t understand groove.

Making beats is as easy as kick on the one snare on the two and four high hat on every other, That right there is a very simple start after that the magic happens you start taking that muthaf*^ka where you want to take it you become one with your beat like some karate kid or kung fu master jedi.
