Some things I think of when beatmaking (by no means right, amateur hour here) . I make mistakes too because I'm lazy. In my experience, don't get too attached to your beats, create an idea, arrange it. If it sucks, fine, move on and you'll be better in the next one. - Drums - attack magazine is great for tutorials on basic structure for different genres. usually after 4 bars I change it up but that's not strict of course. percussion/sfx may help reduce the repetition - repetitive rhythm - learn some basic music theory and pick a key/scale so you know what notes you can play. helps creating melodies etc. you can learn a lot in a half hour which will vastly improve you - Bass - yeh don't play as chords but you can layer them sometimes if they take up diff frequencies ranges - looping - maybe record the loop and treat it as a sample - chop it, reverse it. effect plugins help too (half time, reverb) No idea why I comment so much, I'm supposed to be working haha

[@NavieD]

"No idea why I comment so much, I'm supposed to be working haha" Hahah tell your boss you're doing very important work here. I whole-heartedly agree with what you pointed out, don't get too attached and fall in love with your idea. It should be treated as dispensable.

[@arielledreemurr7533]

For D&B I usually write 16 bar loops, but that’s just me, I mostly based it off tutorials for that genre though. Might be interesting to try for a rap beat though, especially with free form. But yeah, 1-2 measure loops are a good starting point.

Gang Starr - Mass appeal , is one of the greatest short loop sounds in my opinion...can listen to it over and over and not get bored of it 🤙 Really depends how good and how catchy is the melody..👍

[@lemonzing234]

I think what's going on there is that A. If you listen closely, it's not a one bar loop, it's a four bar loop, if you include the drums B. There's enough distinction between the sampled vocals on the chorus and Keith's voice to make the song un-monotonous. C. The simplicity of the beat allows Guru to play with where is bars start and end, giving him space to be more slippery, like a saxophone solo over a consistent rhythm section.

[@joejordahl6787]

another premier beat, Jeru the Damaja - Come Clean, short loop but such a unique sound that I cant stop listening to

[@Crypto_prod35]

[@aftalyfe]

Great channel man, awesome topics, a lot of useful things to learn, you are one of the few people on youtube whose videos never disappoint 👍 One thing I would like to add and what helps me with adding depth and pushing things to the front and to the back (except reverb) is gently playing with a wide mid EQ band. If it feels like its too much in your face, just pull a couple dbs down with a wide mid EQ. This also helps with carving space for a vocal that's going to go on top of it. A vocalist listening to the beat will feel more invited and less intimidated by the beat if there is actually room for his vocal. This is especially valid for the verses. So having the foreground mostly free helps with "selling" the beat. Pun intended. Just my 2 cents on the subject.

There's nothing wrong with reverb on your bassline if it sounds the way you want it to. Just be mindful of how easily you can use up all of your headroom by doing that and EQ/filter out the lower freqs on your bass so that only the mids and higher freqs (the parts you hear, not the parts you feel) have any audible reverb.

[@NavieD]

I concur. The producer originally had reverb on the bass and that's it

[@vigilantestylez]

Agree if the baseline is a guitar bass. Never put reverb on an 808 or a sub bass of any kind.

[@emptysentiment7932]

​@@vigilantestylezidk man 808 with reverb can sound dope on the right track

This is some really good stuff for elementary beat makers, I will be sure to send this to anyone who is just starting off A couple of big things beatmakers should do imo to speed up the process of creating ideas is Beatboxing and doing your own freestyle-acapella on your free time and better yet learning how to play the drums and piano. Instead of using these sounds on your daw to mess around and find something that might be cool, You can make patterns that are guaranteed to sound good so your fundamental patterns make sense, Where you can be creative and experimental is with what the actual sounds sound like and it will really streamline your ability to make beats off the top of your head. Also beatboxing songs you love and memorizing what they sound like will help you find what characteristics of a genre defines that genre.
