How To Buy Beats And Instrumentals: Bass

By Delroy Wilkins


Hip hop ranks among the most sought after and listened to music genres regardless of age. Hip hop has been around for quite sometime and, has been evolving over the years. Despite having changed with time, early hip hop and contemporary hip hop share one thing in common, energy. Hip hop is one of the music genres exhibiting high energy.

One of the major changes that have occurred in hip hop is the way it's created. Computers have contributed a great deal to this change. Beats that would not have been created in the past are being produced through computers. Today, it's much easier to create supporting sounds and make a unique beat using technology. Pro music producers can now easily select from a wide array of techniques to create beats people will like listening to. Techniques of hip hop music creation might have changed, but there's one thing that has not changed a bit. The use of bass has not changed as bass forms one of the key elements that make a hip hop beat sound great. If you want to create beats like the pros do, it's important that you understand how to incorporate bass within the beat.

The bass is responsible for the structure of the song. It gives the music the harmonic balance that it needs to make sense. Without the bass, the music is not as easy to listen to. If there is nothing providing that type of harmonic structure, the listener will try to add it on their own. That will not make for a popular beat.

There are two main techniques of incorporating bass within your hip hop beat. The first involves the rhythmic bass. The rhythmic technique can be used throughout the song. The second technique involves adding a sustained beat. It's commonly used to fill in gaps within the beat to keep the music going.

While we spoke of 2 techniques of adding bass to your beats, each category has different sub categories which can effectively be used to convert the way the bass sounds within the beat. Such sub categories include layering, changing of the note, and stretching. These are all ways that can be used to change different tones of bass within the track.

The best way to add the bass to your music is one step at a time. Begin with a basic bass sound and start to change it one piece at a time. The changes will help turn your music into something really special.
