programming your own beats
 

muir on 2002-01-05 20:06 [#00066493]



from the response i got on a prior post it seems alot of
people around here make their own music and even the same
programs as me(fruityloops and cool edit pro). out of you
people, who refrains from using sampled beats? who programs
their own from scratch? care to share ideas on how to go
about making a good break beat?
ive got a few ideas myself that i have always put into
practice.

buy a decent drum machine and sequencer and get creative!

dingle berry?
are you a representative of hardware manufacturers?
Why do you feel you have to spend money on hardware to "get
creative"

Shit you can get creative with anything... that is the point
of being creative...

I would agree that having hardware with knobs to twiddle is
_very fun_ but not the source of creativety.

sorry i just randomly type words to finish my sentences and
get creative fitted the bill! i know any one can get
creative even if they are just twanging there grandmas
pubes!

At the mo i've only used vst - but i will soon enough
integrate some samples (sample hits NOT breaks!!) ..

there isn't really a method to the madness .. I just stuff
around till it sounds ok-ish to me .. the only thing for
breaks i would recommend is using quite a few drum tracks
(super impose).. ?? makes it easier than trying to fit it
all on one track -

hardware is fun i agree but ive found i always liked the
introvertedness of software ( i have no idea what i mean by
that). that and i realised the only thing i ever made that
was good was all software. so i ditched a few machines and
kept a few as sound modules.

my idea for fruityloops though for making good speratic
beats is to make one beat on pattern one and then copy it to
the next 7 or so. then go through each pattern using the
shift left function for all the notes. the way to get that
to work well is to make sure you dont shift any two patterns
the same amount. then you line them up however you like in
the playlist and you get speratic beats. fun.

aint nothing wrong with making your own beats, its better
that way (if you know what your doing) but sometimes people
use the wrong samples or whatever and the instrument sounds
dont complement each other.

Reason and software alike is the future.

Fuck the hardware shite. The only hardware you need is a dam
computer.


 

John John from Sweden on 2002-01-06 10:53 [#00066637]



I swear I make better beats than you with my software.

Reason seems to be unlimited to me..
Only thing I have to use Cool Edit for is recording vocals
or other old-fashioned instruments.
Beats should be made by yourself, so you can make mistakes
right? mistake - learn - evolve. right?

1:Get fruity loops
2:set the bpm to a place between 240 and 300
3: put 20-30 different noises,snares,toms,kicks in a track.
4:randomly arrange them.
5:Cut up in cooledit.
