The one thing that differentiates a good and a bad beat is your creativity. There are many other factors but creativity is the key. So, you got to be creative in making your beats. Here are a couple of tips that could help your creativity juice keep flowing.
Get Yourself Into the Music Mood
Not only in beat making but almost everything that we do. We need to be in the mood to get the best out of ourselves. So, get your favorite music collection and start listening to your favorite artist. Just indulge in the music comfortably with your beat making software ready right beside you so that you can start playing around, making your own beats when the inspiration comes.
Use The Right Beat Making Software
This can be one of the major factors. You need to use the right beat making software. You can play around with a few and find one with the most editing features, etc. so that you can have more options to tweak your beats for the best sound. This would take you some time but do sufficient research to find the right one. Some have only 8 sequencers but a good one should have 16.
Find a Mentor
This is somebody that you can refer to whenever you are stuck. However, it can be the most difficult part as well for a lot of people. Unless you have relative or friends that are already doing well in the field, it would almost be impossible to get a good mentor with low mentor fees. Well, this is no longer a problem now because we have this thing call forum. I belong to a beat making forum (required member's access) that comes together with one of the beat maker I purchased. A forum is even better than a mentor. While you will not be getting "one on one" guidance but don't forget that you are accessing to a pool of people, a community of music producers in one place to share ideas, ask questions, etc. Don't be surprised if you found members that are ready to share their lyric for your beats and even meet your future producer or prospect there!
Collecting Feedback on Your Beats
The saying that the more comments you receive the better you would become is true. So, it's important that you are taking comments and feedback about your beats seriously. They can severely improve your beat making skills and bring you to the next level. Other than friends and family, a forum is still the best place. Don't worry about the sound quality getting downgraded when you upload online. If you are using the right beat maker, rest assured that the sound quality is as goods as those from studio equipment.
Whether you are just starting out to make your own beats for fun or intend to be in business in this game, you'll need to be persistent in your effort. Above tips should get you started on the right track.
One of my favorite beat makers that has helped me to make most of my beats is. It has a comprehensive sequencer that you can use to tweak your beats and a large sound library from various instruments that you can mix into your beats to create amazing sick beats. But what I like most about Sonic Producer are the members only forum as it helps me to grow a lot and the sound quality of the beats it produces. The sounds are so good that they can be easily mistaken to be from thousand dollars music equipment.
