How to make hip hop beat
Commonly it is considered that to make hip hop beat you need to have a luxurious audio workstation. Although these expensive audio work stations enable you to make hip hop beats very easily but it wrong to think that it can only be done by sending a lot of amount to purchase a workstation. Honestly, it can be easily done at home without spending much.
Normally people think that they might have to get loan from the bank to buy such a heavy and expensive workstation at which they can make hip hop beats. However, as stated earlier, it is just a misperception.
You just have to be creative and you need to have a sensitive interface. You can also use an online tool known as Sonic Producer. It will provide you a sequencer and an interface.
The Sequencer
It is the most important part of beat making software. It is divided into beats. It easily finds out proper sound and sample and you can use it on sequencer. A sequencer with a size of 16 is enough (means it will be able to handle 16 different tracks at a time to make one hip hop beat). It is because it can hold enough quantity of sounds and samples. Even for the complex beats, this type of sequencer will be sufficient.
The Interface
Interface plays most important role while making hip hp beats. An interface consists of following:
· A Mixer
· A key board or drum pad
· A tool bar
· Samples
Use of interface tools
Use of above mentioned tools of an interface will now be discussed separately.
Mixer
A mixer allows you to mix all 16 tracks and sounds as per your own idea. You can set different volume level for each track. Pitch of the sound track is also under your control, which you can adjust using mixer. After adjusting the volume, pitch and other sound characteristics you assign the final sound or sample to sequencer.
Key board or drum pad
A key board or drum pad provided on the interface allows you to make your own sounds. If you do not have a ready made track of your own choice or you have some different idea, you can use key board and drum ad to create sound.
Tool bar
A tool bar on the interface functions just like your MS word's tool bar. You can save, load, record or open your project of beats. It also provides options of play, stop, fast forward, rewind and pause etc. Tempo alteration tool is also part of tool bar.
Samples
These are ready made samples of sounds and tracks. These are included in the program and you can use them without wasting time in creating them.
