How To Make Beats And Instrumentals

By Delroy Wilkins


As a hip hop producer, it takes countless hours to complete a creating a track. With time, you get to learn the different techniques used in the creation of hits. Layering and appropriate beats are used to provide groove within the track. The basic sounds can make a beat sound good, but not great. Auxiliary sounds on the other hand can be used alongside the basic sound to create the perfect track. Simple sounds might appeal to some people. However, majority of listeners want complex and deep sounds. Auxiliary sounds are the best way to achieve this quality in your tracks.

The auxiliary sounds are often the back story of the music that is being created. They are not the first thing that people realize they are listening to, but they add the depth that people expect from professional music. Breaking down the auxiliary sounds makes it easier to use them effectively.

Sounds that accent the beat are the sounds that put emphasis in certain parts of the beat. Imagine the sound of a crash cymbal being played at the end of a beat. It is something that people will remember, but it also makes what came before it more special. This technique is especially important to make certain parts of the music stand out. Bass sounds and piano sounds can also be successful accents that enhance your beats.

Transition FX Sounds. Within tracks, there are specific parts of transition such as from chorus to verse. Auxiliary sounds are a great way to mark these parts within the song. Drums are commonly used transitioning sounds. However, you can still get a great effect if you use other auxiliary sounds such as bass or keyboards.

Fun sounds. Adding specific sounds within the beat can make it more fun. The auxiliary sounds used to bring out this effect are usually specialized sounds. These specialized sounds can be samples from other songs or even, sounds listeners come across daily. A sigh can be a great example sound that falls under the category of fun addition.

If you are trying to create your special hip hop song, you need to make sure that you take the time to add in the auxiliary sounds. Without them, a song will not sound complete or will be too simple. The professionals understand this and make sure to use these sounds properly.
