How to Make Beats On Your Computer - Discover this Step by Step Instruction to Make Beats On Your Computer

All you need to make music beats is a computer!

Want to make beats on your computer but do not know where to start? Well, it is not difficult these days, thanks to the technological advancement and you definitely need not be a professional or to have a studio to make music beats.

Time has change and so is beat making. It is now possible for anyone even a complete newbie that know nothing about beat making to make great music beats (hip hop beats, rap beats, techno beats etc.) right from their computer.

All right, let's get to the basic on how to make beats on your computer. We all know that a beat consists of bass, drums, samples and instruments (real or synthesized). The drum being the most important element of a beat can be isolated from a break beat. Next, choose a sample and take the snare, kick and the hi-hat.

Tips: Choose those with the least of background noise.

Now load the drum samples in a music sequencer. What you are going to do next is to replace the drum kit with your own drum. There are 1000's of drum samples in a good beat maker and sequencer like Sonic Producer. When you are done, you now need to make the pattern for your song. You can spice up your beat by adding other music elements like percussion, bass guitars, electricbass, piano etc.

Ok, we are almost done here. Now, choose your tempo. Depending on the music genre that you want to make. For hip hop, something like 90 to 100 is common but you can definitely try out new things as long as it sounds good. The intro should be simple. I like to use simple kick and snare as the intro. Now select your main drum pattern and another one as your bridge drum pattern. That's it. The basic layout is complete.

Final step that you need to do is to layer your beat. Simple beats will have 2 to 3 layers but you can have multi layers if you want. Adding layer can be easily done with a good beat maker and sequencer like Sonic Producer. Click here to watch a video showing how to make your beats on your computer from start to finish.
