The Internet Helped Me Make My Own Music Beats

Aspiring to be the next great music discovery but don’t have the money to invest in a professional studio or band? Putting out your own songs or tracks for the world to hear isn’t as hard or as expensive as you think. Let me share with you a few tips that helped me create my own songs and make my own music beats. It takes about 2 hours to a total beginner to start producing something worthwhile:

Find a suitable program, application or website.
First, you have to have a program or application that can provide you with the tools and instruments you need to be able to make your own beats. There are some free programs you can find online, as well as others that won’t cost you your whole month’s allowance or paycheck. List down the top 5 programs or applications and research on these by visiting music forums, reading consumer reviews and checking out the products’ support sites to see how often or how rare people complain about the programs before you decide to purchase or download. I used this beat maker and I can highly recommend it.Know your beat basics.
Before you start making your own music beats, you first have to understand what a beat is. It is, in music, the basic time, tempo or meter. There are tons of materials online that you can refer to, to learn more about the theory behind music beats and time signatures. Different beats connote different moods, different genres and styles of music and can add various flavors to songs and tracks. R&B, for example, makes use of the backbeat (count two in a measure) heavily, while funk makes use of the downbeat (the one in or the beginning count of a measure). You should also be able to understand BPM (beats per minute)–basically the speed of your beats.Start with basic keys.
If you’ve never played around with a drum machine or beat maker before, or have little background in music theory, then it’s best to start with simple beats then work your way up to the more complicated ones. A common, easy beat to start with is the simple 4/4 (4 beats to a measure), wherein one counts “one and two and three and four,” with the beats falling on the numbers. You may use a bass drum for the “one” and “three,” and the snare for the “two” and “four.” If you’re comfortable with that, add a hi-hat to all the “and”s. Use a metronome to help you keep time; you can speed up the metronome for more challenge.Use your creativity.
Once you have settled on a good basic beat as your musical palette, then it’s time to splash on more color. You can layer different elements onto that basic beat like adding whistles or a funky bass riff or even different effects to add texture and style to your track. You can use the preset samples included in your beat maker, or even look for other loops in the Internet. Sometimes, when I make my own music beats, I collaborate with other musicians to add more color to it.

The same way I relied on the Internet and my computer to make my own music beats, you too can create your own beat via the treasure chest of tools, information ad programs available in the World Wide Web.
