For everyone out there who is just beginning to make beats knows that it can get kind of frustrating. If you want to make great sounding beats but you don’t have any experience there is good news. Making beats just takes some patience and practice and the right beat making programs. Before you know it you will be making great beats and feeling great about it.

The first thing you need to do is to pick a style(tip: make sure your programs have many different styles you can choose from),keep it simple by picking a style you like. Don’t jump around from different style to style, just pick one type of song you’d like to make and stick with it. You can always make different styles of songs later.

 After listening to a couple of songs you should start getting a couple of good ideas. At this point just program something in to the beat making programs. Get a drum beat or melody or anything programmed in to your beat making programs and just stick with that for a bit. Once you have your basic idea down you have something to work with.

 It doesn’t matter what you put down next, it can just be a snare or be bass line or a small keyboard part.(tip make sure your programs allow you to have an assortment of instruments sounds you can use) Everything will work off of having a first idea laid down. You can always throw away parts or start over. If you have a drum beat down, add a simple melody to it. If you have a melody put a drum beat to that. The point is to give yourself a little foundation to work with.

 You’ll soon begin to understand your beat making programs and how to start your song and how to end it. If you want bridges, choruses, or if you just want to keep the same funky beat going throughout the whole thing. You can always edit, subtract, and add parts once you get the hang of your beat making programs.
