How Do You Create Rap Beats & Hip Hop Instrumentals?
Creating rap beats and hip-hop instrumentals can be a little challenging regardless of whether one is a trained musician or not, but with the advancements in today’s music creation technology, being a full-fledged musician is not a requirement. As long as you have two ears and an idea of what you’d like to create, putting together grooves that sound great with an emcee or vocalist is not a tough task. Pull up your favorite MP3s and take out your notepad and pen. Write down aspects of the music that you like and would like to have in your own beats and instrumentals. It could be the vocals, it could be a particular lyric, it could be the groove that the producer was using. Make a list to work from for ideas and inspiration as you create your own tracks. Turn on your computer. Double click on whatever your music software is. Pull up the window that lets you create a session, and make it big enough on the screen so you can see every element you add to your track. Double click on any loops
