Hip Hop Artist - Discover How to Make Hip Hop Instrument

By Farah Fan


In the past, if you wanted to mirror your favorite hip hop artist, you must have turntables, a couple of records for beat and rhythm. Then you can utilize the instruments that you created and begin your hip hop song of your favorite hip hop artist. Hip-Hop was created by innovative people who took the limited materials available such as turntables, funk and disco records and created something new.

They scratched records and tried short loops, merging sounds in the way that suited them. These methods have lead to hip hop's distinctive sound, and with some understanding of how they are made, they could be copied with very basic software or equipment.

These days, you don't need to make use of turntables to make an instrumental hip hop. With the development of technology, you can make beats, rhythm and other source of music using a desktop or laptop computer. Making hip-hop instrumental tracks available through the internet can be a lucrative venture for producers attempting to break into the music industry. By using Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as FL Studio, Cubase, Sonic Producer, or Pro Tools, you can make your own instrumental tracks for marketing.

Create a bass line. Bass sounds vary from traditional sounding instruments to distortion heavy synthesizers, so experiment with what works best for your sound and then add it to your step sequencer. Use the instrumentation window in your DAW to create a simple, yet catchy bass line. It should reinforce the down beat of your drums, but add some notes on the off beats to make it rhythmically interesting. Then add a lead and chorus melody. There are rules to melodies. You can add pianos, guitars, synthesizers, vocal hits, and any other sounds you would like in your track. The catchiest melody you create should function as your hook and be used for the chorus section of the track. Before you begin with the software you must determine which drum tracks to use. Some of the common drum tracks are kick drum, hit-hat and snare samples. As soon as you have an idea of your sound save you will begin using the DAW sequencer. If you are worried your drum beats might be similar to a famous artist, it is ok. Drum beats alone cannot be copyrighted, so feel free to recreate drum patterns from your favorite records if you are having trouble developing your own ideas.

If you are unsure of what you made, take a couple of minutes and listen to your favorite hip hop artist to get back on track. Then arrange your basic song structure. Once you have the basic step sequencer patterns of your song composed, you can begin arranging them in your DAW's song composition window. If you want to add fills, effects, and additional samples. While it is vital that you keep your track simple, if it'll be downloaded to have vocals added later, you don't want it to become repetitive.
