Four Ways to Know Whether a Beat Creator is For Real

By Donovan DeAngelo


Have you tossed money and time at beat creator after beat creator, only to determine that they don't possess, or feature too much of, the bells and whistles you have to have to turn your beat making creative talent loose? Don't let the inappropriate equipment cause you to feel like you're mistaken to think producing hard cracking beats isn't too hard. Acquire a beat creator that has each of these four qualities and watch the beat of your dreams come into existence.

1. Quality Without Sacrifice

Talented though you may be, if your beat creator supplies you with sample packs that sound as if they were made in a freeway tunnel in 90s, you'll never engineer a beat that'll get your career out of park. When it comes to the samples that you create your beats with and the quality in which you export what you've manufactured, it's the pro quality 44.1 stereo wav way or the loser way. Use mp3 files and you'll be run over verbally by everybody who hears them.

2. Bar Building Not One-Bar Looping

This may well sound a little ruthless but it won't be 50 % as harsh as the reaction you'll get if you don't adhere to it: if you want to craft beats that don't get you a verbal beat down, you need to use a beat creator that builds patterns not endless repetitions of a one bar loop, as though there is any point to doing that. A good basic rule, is to buy an application that makes it possible for you to build your bar count to 16 bars, although you'll desire more than that if you wish to really expand your inventive limits one day.

3. Downloaded Not Online

You may have been enticed to use an Internet Based beat creator on the assumption that, considering that you don't have to download anything, considering that it's absolutely free, considering that it's designed for anybody to use, that it should be a shortcut to producing a beat you'd be honored to call your own. If you were unable to resist this lure, you probably figured out fast that this "shortcut" involved extensive waits every single time you wanted to import samples or source files and save full kits, and even required waiting for your beats to play, each and every time you wanted to hear what you recorded. That's without taking into account that it probably wasn't created by somebody with any interest in beat making other than getting wanna-be beat producers to click on banner ads and open spammy emails.

4. Sequencer Galore

making professional beats without pro studio gear, with a beat creator is achievable but only when that beat creator is able to imitate the workflow of a pro beat producer's gear. To have any chance of this you'll require more than just the sequencer that sums up the majority of them, but a drum machine (ideally 10 pad) and virtual keyboard (four octave is best), as well. To make sure you don't spend weeks making a beat that should really take a few days, you'll want to be able to import kits and sounds on the move, grow your bar count and double-up on layers with drag and drop ease, and apply volume leveling and a few basic effects (i.e. delay and reverb) to individual tracks.
