Rap beats are nothing more than break beats which have a lot of variations. Making your own rap beat is a effective tool to bring out your imagination and also works well as a meditation tool.A rap song can get boring without the right beat. It is the beat that takes the song to a higher level and makes you need to hear it more.

The most vital elements of a rap beat are novelty and intensity which means how it makes you feel when you hear it. Every rap song has a message which is the rap beat that brings it out.  The originality factor comes in when your song stands out in the crowd and the first few beats make it exclusive such that when a person listens to it he recognizes it immediately and is able to sing along.

While making your own rap beats the initial thing you need is the accurate software and some beat making tools. If you are fresh in this field and don’t want to make an investment, there are softwares available that permit you to make the rap beats by just using the software. It’s very crucial that you make your rap beats sound professional so that a record company would take you sincerely. This holds true in the event of you wanting to make a career from it or actually do something out of making your own rap beats. If you are just doing for fun as a hobby, it might differ.

In case you need to circulate and tell your friends about the rap beats that you have made, your lyrics would need good instrumental music, which can be bought at a reasonable price. Do not sacrifice on this for you might not get a second chance.

A rap basically consists of a loop the industry set of bars repeating over and over again. To make a good loop one must commence with the hi hats which sets the basic for the rap beat and lets you decide the speed of your beat.One must keep the hi hat simplistic as you can add on more if required. There’s two basic rudiments to a rap beat- kick drum and snare drum which come in after the hi hats. The kick comes before the snare. So to start pull up your favourite music production tool, load a kick and snare into it. Once they are loaded, count the blocks and then click to listen. To get a good sound of the beat make sure that for a rap beat the BPM is 135.

Once the base line and speed have been decided and done with, the skeleton is ready and then you can put in vocals and instruments. It is the arrangement of all these elements that compose the originality and feeling in your rap beat.

One thing must be borne while making your own rap beats is that one must not over do the beats. Some new entrants’ keep layering the beats thinking that it would sound much better. It does not matter how many sounds you have included but what matters is whether the rap beats bring out the sentiments.
