If you’ve got a microphone to hand, try producing uncommon percussive sounds, and layering and control them to produce something slightly different. Trust me, with a bit clever panning, you’ll have a good basis for a beat.ĭon’t hesitate to use uncommon sounds in your records – it can usually add a level of light that puts your song above some others.

The key to an efficient horn sound is adding various examples together with each other.

Horns are fantastic for setting off a rap track, giving your production an immediate shot of power, specially in trap productions, they should be a must have in your sounds bank. There are services that do this and there are some types of agreements and contracts, and usually they’re less expensive than lawyers costs. If you’re interested in using samples (and this is important), spend cash in getting them cleared. If you’re not a well-known musician / producer or signed to a major label then it’s possible you’ll fall below the radar – until your record with that perfect James Brown sample takes off, at which stage you could be in a whole lot of lawful trouble. For nearly as long as sampling’s been around, those who make records have been suing those who ‘borrow’ their music, so be careful if you’re going to make money with your releases. Go ahead and digging through the records to find good songs to try, chop up and use in your beats – but be aware. However if your song won’t allow it to be into a club style or onto the stage, it’s good to spend a little extra time concentrating on information of your track – things that will be selected by a person hearing intently in their living room, instead of someone dancing their behind off on the ground. What are you making your beats for? If you would like it to be a great radio and club hit, it is important to focus your efforts on making everything as hard-hitting and strong as it can be.
