My first beat

Postby Wreck » Feb 3rd, '11, 06:53

I just made it like 15 mins ago, I made like 2 on FL like 3 weeks ago but I never exported em so this is the first. It's simple and it's a loop, I know, but just give me some tips in general, and about the beat, if you could. Thanks.

I used FL Studio 9, used drums and an organ for this one. Working on more beats, including sampled ones as we speak so I'll have more up later.

I dunno how to change it up, all I know is loops right now, I need help with that lol. Thanks for the feed though bro I appreciate it.

This is a good first step, build on it. You need more than an organ and a drum kit in a beat. Much mor layers, effects and stuff like that. Never used fl so I can't helP with the technical stuff but as far as composing a well schemed beat I can. So hit me up with q's.

Thanks for the help & feed bro, I appreciate it.

I'm working on a sample beat right now. Gonna try that. Shit is hard. Well I guess once you get used to it, it's cake, but finding the right instruments & playing around with 500 of em is a lil bit of work but its fun too.

Thanks for the feed bro. I got a problem now. I'm sampling this Rob Thomas song. I'm sampling the beat. I'm able to because the first like 25 seconds there's nothing but instrumentation so I'm able to loop it, but do you guys that make beats on here ever have the problem where you're looping the beat and the end of the loop is cut off weird? Like for example, when I loop it, from when the loop is getting ready to end and when it starts back up again, it sounds weird, it sounds obviously tampered with. I'm using Slicex to highlight the part of the song I'm sampling and this is the problem I'm at. I know how to loop it on Slicex but it's after that. I'm sure I'll have more problems after I figure out this problem but I was wondering if anybody had that problem when they were starting out as FL producers. Thanks 4 all the help you guys.

Yeah man, its good for a first attempt, but it needs to change up. the sound gets really annoying after a while, you should change it up a bit, add different drum patterns, instruments etc.

not bad for a first attempt though man, keep it up. :b:
