Magic JuanD gettin back at you with some beat-making advice and gives a little skit on what he uses to make his beats. For all my supporters, Im here to tell you how to make beats. DOPE, DOPE beats. The software I use is Rhythm 8, a rhythmic sequencer that accepts WAV audio files for production. The hardware is surprisingly a PSP 3000. People may ask if my beats are original and if I start from scratch. YES, my beats are original. YES, I start from scratch. When you start your beats, make sure you change the tempo. A beat thats TOO fast are sometimes only acceptable for presentational purposes. In Rhythm 8, at default, the tempo/bpm is 120. The fastest tempo you should use for Hip-Hop is 90 bpm so you should lower it. 90 bpm could be used for club bangers and a few R&B joints. 90 bpm could also be used for classical Hip-Hop joints. 60 bpm should be used for classical Hip-Hop beats with a catchy melody or mostly R&B beats. However, a good producer uses any bpm. 59, 30, 89, 85, 55, you name it. Make it a challenge for others to even re-produce it. Sometimes vocals also work. I use a lot of singing vocals for some of my beats. Listen to what the vocals mean or say and name your beat. ALWAYS name your beat. Very important. Another thing that makes you a GREAT and admirable beat-maker is being diverse. Dont stick to one sub-genre of Hip-Hop or use favorite sounds. Also, you could sample sounds and vocals form youtube or anywhere else or request compatible audio files from other users on media-like sites.You can take one genre of music and with drums, snares and a lil bass, and there you go, you just converted an ethnic genre of music to Hip-Hop or even R&B. Well, bye. Your Beat-producer, Magic JuanD More advice for later on promotion and sound production.
