HOW TO MAKE BEATS?

HOW TO MAKE BEATS? The answer can be simple or quite complex

i once heard the process of creating a track compared to cooking

and basically it is , those same principles apply .

First you the need the meat

what do i mean by meat your sample or lead instrument

some producers build around the drums and some off the sample 

hip hop music in the early stages was sample based  you can make beats online free using a demo version of fl studio or apples garage band  to follow along.

next i usually establish some kind of tempo based on whatt type of beat it is down south or trap music is usually somewhere around the 130-150bpm range east coast hip hop around 78-98 

i usually go with the high hats to set a bounce or rhythm to the track

additional sounds like string section brass horn 808 drums are all things that help making a beat . In you early stages you might have a hard time knowing when a beat is finished just as you may not no when its missing something the thing to being a good producer is practice and training your ear try to listen to your favorite producers and tryto figure out what sound came first or if you made it where would you have started and try to gain a mental picture.

Is fruity making you a rotten producer

I remember when i first got a whiff of Fruity Loops it was version 2.3 i was a junior in high school and me and my rhyme/crime partner salvaged this old computer we took from a storage closet in our school. I lived in the HOOD and not many people had computers let alone knew how to fixs em but this one guy lets call him "T"was what i would call now a lowlevel hacker but back then he was fuckin Bill Gates to us, we gave him $50 in other odd stuff and he did the unthinkable made it work. Since we were the music junkies he gave us a cracked version of the program this was in 1999 big shit for us we were on. the ability to make beats on the computer and sample, before we just had a Boss-dr-5 and loved it but this was the best its had all sorts of sounds the ability to edit and cut up drum kicks but the problem was the perception. People considered it a toy and the music you made was also a joke in industry standards we didnt have a midi keyboard we didnt even use it to record directly into we just sequenced whatever sounds we could load into to it. For us being intermediate producers we grabed onto the concept fast and it was easy a lil to easy almost to where i could see how everyone would be able to call themselves a producer oneday with alil practice. Propellerheads Reason was way harder we learned of a little bit later with cakewalkk and acid But unlike today it wasnt many HIPHOP producers using fruity i remeber 9th Wonder was the top user he did the beat for Jay-z (threat) off the black aclbum and we was like yeah its certification this is official then not to long after that it started getting popular but it really took of when it became FL studio. Now every Hip-Hop track you heaar is produced on a version of FL Studio i graduated to a mpc in 02 i bought a MPC 2000 for $80 sounds like a steal not exactaly it had internal problems i sent it to this placed called VST Virtual Sound Technology in California i believe and it cost me $400 so $480 all together it was the shit but nonetheless ive been sequencing my tracks threw the mpc/protools since but knowing how fruity loops is being used do you think its limiting musical knowledge? transforming the way we see production? spawning a generation of one dementional artist? WHATEVER let me know what you think, how is it affecting the craft in general or is this just the way to stay in THE LOOP.
