Making Rap Beats

By Jenne Mae

Within this article you will discover how you may begin producing your very own rap beats. There is a lot of confusion surrounding this and at first glance it does seem quite easy in theory.

I mean how difficult could it be to acquire a few good drum sounds and then a program to put them together?

Well the truth is normally a lot harder than you think!

To produce really good rap beats you'll require a recording studio and to have one of these set up within your house may cost you an arm and a leg. You will be looking at $3000+ for a basic recording studio with everything you need.

Then of course you have other options out there like proper DJ equipment and software Cubase and Fruity Loops, however with a large price tag and also a lot of music creation knowledge necessary to even get them to work and produce your very first beat you quickly notice there isn't a lot for novices.

So if you don't have any kind of knowledge whatsoever of music creation and generating rap beats what may you do?

Well you might be interested in a music creator software known as Sonic Producer, its a completely functional beat creator and it strips out all of the add ons that you may discover in the above choices.

So what you are left with is a simple and functional beat maker, although that said the beats sound very good.

You just have to select from loads of pre-recorded beats and then place them where you like to start making your first rap tune.

You can even take your new creation and burn it onto CD and that means that you can listen to it where you like.

Another thing that we liked about Sonic Producer apart from the obvious fact that you can get going making rap music fast is the fact that it had a free trial and also a community of people that are making their own beats using the software.

This is good because you can compare your beats and have the odd friendly competition as you improve your knowledge of rap music and making beats. As soon as you are ready you can then move on and make use a much more professional solution such as Fruity Loops or Cubase.

Of if you want to go the full hog you can invest in your own recording studio!

I hope this article has told you more about how to make rap beats and the quickest way to get you started.

Good Luck! - 40727
