Make Hip Hop Beats

If you have ever wanted to learn how to make rap beats or make hip hop beats with a computer, there are several beat making programs out on the internet and some of them are really good. Making rap beats and hip hop beats with your computer can be accomplished by either getting a free beat making program that will allow you to make hip hop beats or you can find a beat making software program that will give you the ability to make hip hop beats with your computer.

I think the learning curve to use this software will depend on where you are as far as your musical background, meaning if you are already producing beats with a program like Reason or Fruity Loops, then this beat making program will be a no brainer as far as figuring out how to make beats. Now if you don't have any musical background or experience, then the learning curve might be a little longer but if you have the desire to learn how to make music and the desire to create rap beats, then your determination will get you through the process of tutorials and videos that come along with the software program.

Since I already have experience making rap beats and making hip hop beats, I was actually making beats in less than a half hour once I went through the basic documentation to see exactly what I needed to do to program beats on the computer. Now the only thing that kind of slowed me down was the amount of buttons that were all over the place but once I understood how they worked, it was well worth the time to understand how the buttons were used to start creating my beats.

The next step was to find the samples that came with the program so that I could then determine what sounds I was going to use to start making the beats so the beat making software definitely had the samples that I needed to make dirty south beats as well as east coast and west coast beats. Once you get inside and start making the beats, the loops are pretty easy to do and you can create some nice 3 minute hip hop loops that go hard.

The next challenge is figuring out how to organize the loops into song format so you have an intro,chorus and verses. This process to a little longer but by reading the tutortials for the beat making software, I was able to figure out how to organize the loops into song format.

Now if you are not experienced at making hip hop beats, then give yourself time to work with the software for awhile before you give up and don't use it. I understand the frustration that comes from learning something new but the effort that you put into learning the software will pay off in the long run for sure.

Out of all of the beat making software programs that I have used, for the price this is definitely worth the money and if you are selling rap beats and hip hop beats online, this will be away to create more beats that will be different from the beats that you have been making with your other beat making programs.

Just some tips to help you out when making hip hop beats with your computer. The first thing is to use your ear when making rap beats and hip hop beats because if you are not listening to what other producers are doing and the styles that they are using to be successful, you will not be able to make the type of hip hop beats that the public is willing to buy.

Always spend time reading the documentation even if you are not making beats so that you can absorb the information so that you can get the most out of your beat making software program and have an edge over other music producers who are using the software but not reading all of the tutorials to do some tricks as I call them that will set you apart from the rest of the producers on the internet.
