Hey!
Its me again with another blog post.. and Today we are going to talk about how to choose the right beat ??
Yes I know its very subjective but there are few ground rules regarding what you need to make sure before you choose the right beat for you.
But first of all I just want to give you one quick advice- you must exercises yourself every day to listen to new music!
listen to new music not in your particular style - so in that way you can explore what sounds there out there and what sounds you like- in the end you will find your own sound.
So go look for beats every day and practice on veracity of beats or instrumental (dont have to be on you style...)
1. vibe- the beat must fit the vibe you looking for. the vibe that the words you wrote fit in too- the vibe even set the tone of how you going to sing in the beat and the flow you will use on the beat..if the beat have a dark vibe? sad vibe? if its club banger beat to bang our head and have fun beat?
2. BPM- in the beginning please choose veracity BPM to understand what BPM is fit to your style and your ability to stay on beat and rap or sing perfectly on it.
Than after you established an idea of what BPM you like and good for you. you need to search the BPM that fits you in that way : beat vibe (BPM)
3. The amount pf instrument on the beat- your voice is one of the instrument in the song. So it better to have beats that dont have a lot going on in them so you be able to bring your own instrument- your voice- your flow in it. later at the production process if you feel that something messing some element or instrument - after you record your voice you can add the other missing pieces.
4. Structure- Choose beats that you its structure. its will help you stay on the flow of that beat and stay on the beat.
If you understand the structure it easier for you to build the song around it.
Make sure that the beat structure is the structure you looking for while you wrote the lyrics..
5. Fun- This is the most important point. When you choose the beat - if your head moving or you see yourself listen to this loop of music over and over again its mean this beat is for you and you will have fun working on this beat on this loop for all the recording session and its very important because sometimes you will need to listen to the beat over and over and over again until you reach the right take so its very important that you choose a beat that the loop is joy-able and you love listen to it over and over again.
also pay attention to the people around you while you listen to the beat(if you listen to it with people) if they move their heads if they laughing if the vibe is amusing and they moving their bodies it means that other people will find this song joy-able
So this is the end if this post.. these are what I found that most important point to look in to while choosing a beat.
hope this post find you well and help you..
Have a bless and positive day,
Shaynee.
