For music oriented pals and hip hop lovers out there, It's now time to enjoy yourself and make hip hop beats of your own style and discretion. If this is something that you want to do, then this is your chance as beat making software has now existed. It doesn't matter if you're a newbie or a pro in hip hop beat production, with a beat maker software, you can make the most of its features to make hip hop beats a lot faster and easier. Here are a few steps to help you:

1. Pick a style- Decide for the style of hip hop beats you want to produce. This should be the first thing to consider when you aim to make hip hop beats.

2. Think of your favorite hip hop artists- If you cannot think of any beat styles, then get some inspirations from your favorite artists or rappers. Watch their videos and listen to their songs. Here you can get more ideas of how your beats should sound like.

3. Make a layout. You are now on your way to making your own hip hop beats through arranging things by making some layout of your intro, chorus, and verse, bridge, etc. The basic form in rap is 2 or 4 bar intro, 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8 bars chorus.

4. Start your beat. Begin with the basics of drum: the Kick, Snare, Hi hat. All these should make up a good start. While experimenting in this stage, you should record your creation so you can check this later on and make necessary polishing.

5. Layering. In this part, you already have created your initial beats. The next thing would be to make some layering to make the song appear bigger. Fill the gaps in between using musical instruments, verses, chorus and other lines. Do this layering throughout your beat and it should sound good.

6. Apply your mix. Do this for each tract. Just make sure not to distort all tracts. Always try to make them clean with the help of some musical instruments. With decent beat maker software, this should be very easy.

7. The last part would simply to import your file and use it for your own benefits. Depending on the type of beat making software that you like, you should be able to convert your file into MP3 format. - 40725
