How to make hip-hop beats on Garageband?

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Question by sprewellmin: How to make hip-hop beats on Garageband?

Best answer:

Answer by Nick Stanton
well garage-band is a simple present bank program that only allows you to use pre-created sounds and mix them into what ever you want.

i would suggest that you start off with a 4 pattern beat using a basskick, a 2 pattern closed hi-hat, and an 8 pattern snare drum or clap. you can mix and rearrange them which ever way you want, but personally i would stick with the sound producing program known as FLStudio9.

How do bands like the postal service and owl city make their drum beats?

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Question by cmass333: How do bands like the postal service and owl city make their drum beats?
I haven’t dabbled much in electronic music, and really want to learn more on how to make it. Does anyone know what equipment / software bands like owl city and the postal service use for their drum beats?

Best answer:

Answer by yes, yes
This is a video of Jimmy Tamborello from the Postal Service giving a tour of his studio. I watched it a few months ago because I was curious about the same thing and it explains a lot. Basically you have to have thousands of dollars worth of equipment and a LOT of spare time. Still sounds awesome though.

Q&A: Best keyboard for making hip-hop beats?

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Question by b_garland86: Best keyboard for making hip-hop beats?
I’m looking into buying a keyboard to produce hip hop beats. What are the best brands to look into?

Best answer:

Answer by mindabovematter
If your looking for a stand alone keyboard you should look into Yamaha. They make excellent keyboards for both piano playing, electronica, and or hip-hop. They have some very good samples and you can upload more. Some of them have the ability to record built in as well.

For the above, check Yamaha, Roland, Korg.

If you’re using a computer to record and make your beats you’ll need a MIDI controller keyboard. These are usually USB or Firewire plug ins that control a function/sound/or sound grouping with the touch of the keys. This will activate whatever sound or sample you select. You can use it as a keyboard/piano or assign a different drum/sound to each key.

For the above check M-Audio, Akai. Roland and Korg make these types as well.

For beat making whichever type you decide on you should look into getting one that has pads on them. The pads are smallish squares that you can hit to produce a sound, mostly drum sounds. The good pads have dynamics built in, meaning that the harder you hit the louder and more focused the sound will be. If you hit it lightly, it will be softer and more mellow.

Good Luck!

Question by _: Where can I go online to find free downloadable rap/hip-hop beats?
that dont or sometimes dont say the name of the web site during the song.

Best answer:

Answer by Alex
You can try Beemp3, Bit Torrent, or frostwire.

Do not use Limewire because Limewire gives you viruses from the songs that you download.

Q&A: How to make hip hop beats?

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

Question by marco: How to make hip hop beats?
I have ACID studio 5.0, I know how to use it and i know how to make beats I just don’t know how to make good beats is there a special way to do it, I know that a beat is like tree beats put togather but I don’t know how to start, please help me make good beats. I also need a website where I can get some free samples. THANK YOU.

Best answer:

Answer by Year of the Monkey
You just have to experiment. Have a few rum and cokes, and play with it for a few hours. It’ll come to you. ACID is a very self-explanatory program.

Hint: mix loops from different kinds of music, like a folk music loop with a hip-hop drum track, or a classical sounding loop with a latin percussion track.
