i usually start with something simple like for an example (this might not sound good in actuality because it's something i just thought up) 3/4, 5/4, 3/4, 5/4, etc. timing at a 1/64 note placement thingy meaning in a beat, it is divided up into 16 parts to place your notes in (that would be at 00/96, 06/96, 08/96, 16/96, so forth, each increasing by 8 . so that would look like (i think)for 3/4 beat then a 5/4 beat: note plays at 72/96 of first part note plays at 00/96 of third part note plays at 72/96 of fourth part note plays at 00/96 of sixth part i then throw other notes in those steps of that pattern and also put in a bunch that are real close to each other. it sounds autechreish usually, but good. i also use a drum machine and not a computer, so i dont know how you'd go about doing this with software. |

i have trouble making the beat as the last thing. for me it is usually the first, then i create everything else around the beat. |

Sample loops are lame. Buy a pair of drum sticks and carry them around with you, and drum out stuff, maybe something from your head, or from your favourite songs. Use one hand for snare, one for bass... Just do beats for a while, til you get the hang of it, and get the feeling of it all, and then begin quantizing it. IE: Start doing the metrinome thing and breaking the beats down into components of time. Or, you could just make your own samples of yourself drumming your sticks, and apply effects to suit. Drum loop samples are getting old, though, please don't. |

also try doing beats in real time. it's much easier to get something that sounds good and you dont get frustrated trying to program them in step time. |

not that it matters too much, but my pattern was wrong. beat wise it's 3/4,5/4,7/4,5/4. it would actually be: 72/96 of first part 00/96 of third part 72/96 of third part 00/96 of fifth part |

Just remember it's about patterns. Symmetry is another word. Remember that time is a one dimensional line. Put something on this line and do any of the possible geometric alterations for 1 dimension (slide it along the line, flip it) voila! A masterpiece that sounds like vanilla ice. |

The Grey Gentleman has it right. Although, after discovering I can make a beat with my hands tapping on a desk, I seemed to annoy at least one person in everyone of my classes. |
