Make Your Beats Fire

When you start out making beats you will probably try to get your beats to sound as loud as possible. Thinking that is the only way to compete with other beat makers. That is not the case at all.
You can make your beats fire by taking sounds out at the right time, remember it is not about how or what you play it is the mood you are setting that is going to make your beats stand out.
Take the drums out and let the music ride for a minute especially if you are one of the few beat makers who do their own hook before letting an artist hear the beat….Bringing sounds in and out will give your tracks some drama.
Listen to most songs—Hear how the beat backs up the vocals by dropping out so the listener can focus on the punchlines.
This applies to all types of music - by taking out parts of the beat, you can completely change the feel of it.
Get the mud out of your beat. Eq frequencies to give them there on space to shine. Add effects to your instruments at different points to completely alter the sound to excite the listener. Every now and then people need the beat to do something extra so they don’t get bored.
No matter what a rapper, singer, or songwriter thinks or says if the beat aint hot nobody is going to listen.
Remove the wall of sound for a second how many songs do you know of went platinum without a fire beat. The beat maker is the backbone to an artist success. Focus on your craft, turn the noise down!
Beat makers leave too much volume in their tracks! That takes away from that melody you work so hard to create, it takes away from those smaller parts that make you say damn run that back so I can hear that again!
Remember Good Beats make people say turn that sh*t Up!!!
