It is probably fair to say that hip-hop is the world's most influential style of music for young people who came some joker of blue suede shoes of Elvis. Started as a voice for African-American community in the United States and Latin, hip-hop spread rapidly and became the soundtrack of the 80s, 90s and new millennium. To increase each year, their influence and market penetration, advertising, cinema and bar charts. This section will explain the basics of hip-hop production20 should know how to, tips to make the best possible hip-hop tracks.
Beats and loops
With its all about hip-hop beats - so get inspired!
Jokes are the backbone of hip-hop. If you are in the 1-2 Premier brash productions by Eminem and Dre Dj jerky steps, you must ensure that, if nothing else is running, the test is still beating. As American comedian Chris Rock wrote: "If the Beat is in order, will be dancing all night."
As we have alreadyseen, hip-hop and breaks records, beatbox drum machines and sampling started, so it is very easy for the hip-hop produced on a computer to sound a bit 'lifeless. Playing live quantization and intelligent, this update, though. The main trick is to make it sparingly and if you go once a key groove, trying different shots of percussion, the first more.
Also its important to keep things simple. If you listen to hip-hop productions professional, you will notice that their two rareto play various percussive elements at the same time - unless it is a snare and clap in layers, and even then it will play a bar, between 1:58 and then switch to just one or the other. You hear a lot of pieces have been an instrument played like a shaker bar only for a small and specific to a cycle, almost as if the various percussive elements in turn. It is no coincidence, as hip-hop culture is all this type of connection. Weather your DJ, MC orBreakdancer, hip-hop in it, this type of interaction back and forth, and this transfer of each element of production with beats.
STEP BY STEP Battery
1-The first thing I do at work to create a hi-hat model lines. I can usually model chroma and then go back and edit, if necessary, after I put on other parts.
2 It follows the kick and snare. I think it's easy at first, because I know that you will use a drumLoop below. I begin with a drum loop and add additional kicks and snares to strengthen. The kick and snare sounds I use are two of many tracks again.
Then I add a 3-league football photos and football and snare snare sounds intensify. This makes the beat sound a little 'thicker and dirtier. I also leave some 'of' air 'on the tail - which acts as' glue' type of Sonic heard the beating of a sample.
The base 4-Beat is now complete and ready to organize the screen to send,Then I will use this model as a model for other sections of the song, if I may add, snare fills and rolls.
STEP BY STEP The Loop
When 1-breaking use of samples, I always make sure that they are either free, original, or so dark they are accustomed to recognize. So I do not have to worry about the sample space. I am a fan of percussion busy, so I usually choose an action-packed break two bars of the drum.
2-Now you need to break the rhythm of the drum to adapt to the rhythm of the song. Theirable to do this with every beat-slicing the program.
3 Later, after they have been recorded voice, and how to use this drum break, his entire song needed.
PERSONAL melodies, samples and synths
Just like any other type of music, hip-hop hooks Gotta Have
Melody or bass: it is difficult to say that one should work when you first start, because hip-hop is best when simple - great songs often a bass line, but no melody or vice versa. And sometimes the bass line isthe melody.
Most hip-hop is still created using samples as the main musical hook, but this was during rehearsals for a long time, almost always extracts of classic recordings, these days are usually much darker, be handled and processed. Its not enough to prevent a section from a 80's Rare Groove hit the sample and beat them in one shot.
While hip-hop is still very random discipline, there are many excellent tracks are synth-hop. If you heard Kelis'Milkshake, you know, how can a good line of funky synth beats with the right sound tight.
The key thing to remember is to not over-egg your pudding production. If you take one of those hip hop lessons that should be simple, but effective, so always try to remove the parts or instructions before you start adding more. And remember, hip-hop is all seemingly disparate elements toegether - Run DMC for sampling by Aerosmith on Walk This Way, for example - so as not toAfraid to experiment. Harp solos and great melodies to even steal tapes in the right hands.
Finally, remember that in hip-hop you can never go too far wrong if the riff played the first beat of a measure, it is quickly dampened, and then decreases again after about the third bar. Seriously, this is a recipe for success - give it a try!
Low, low, BASS
Busy, bouncing or not ... its up to you!
While most other types of electronic music are all over the heightsand downs (well, in terms of frequency, though), hip-hop definitely works from the waist down, and it's all a matter of low and medium heavy teeth. If you hear a well-produced hip-hop tracks in a club, shake the room down to its very foundations, often even more difficult than many styles of dance.
There are three main reasons why hip-hop can get away with such frequency heavy without sounding like a muddy mess. First, the pace is very slow, so much space for individual notesBreathing. Secondly, make-up of hip-hop is much more scarce, often with a single beat, and very simple bassline. And third, the base model is usually not as busy as other genres and are often played in such a way that the low tone to recognize individual sounds is not easy.
Of course there are a variety of flavors in b-line hip-hop, but these days the bass lines are often used only to beats under layers of reinforcement or the end of each pair of bars, creating a grooveless than that of the beat. The golden rule of thumb for hip-hop bass is there, treated as another percussive element, but as melodic units. And as with any drum patterns, what you leave behind is usually more important than what you leave
BASS FOR WHAT?
The question of whether or not to maintain the funky bass line is simple or complicated, and depends largely on the type of hip-hop, it is fast and funky style melodies of the Pharcyde away with a lotbouncy bass lines. Even if you take a huge sample of a famous, then you can increase your lead out, to take this. But for many other types of contemporary hip-hop, the bass line is a much simpler affair. If there are any kind of sample or melody played, then play the bass line is often accompanied by gusts. Another trick is to have all the simple sub-bass stabs a few bars and then a full on bass line in the chorus. In fact, sometimes there is not even any bass line in a trackat all.
Finally, for all you smokers who were Cypress Hill, and other pioneers artists like deep, slow and easy rolling bassline. Definely remember. In short, the key to hip-hop bass is almost always to maintain, much sub-bass-oriented and easy.
Vocal techniques
Once the groove is made, start rapping in his time
If the key to a good hip-hop is always a good groove, the second most important consideration is found, the slot on the right sideSinger. There are countless types of rap, from the intricate and melodic rhymes and lyrics by Common, born to the aggressive growl of Lil 'Jon. And different styles suit different singers. This does not mean that if your cause is a cycle ADO should not harp on about a singing road aggressive, sometimes this type of contrast works incredibly well and are used with great success, but if your beats are really tough and sample it is dark, is a soft rap on the top does not quiteto work so well, so choose carefully contrasts!
The MC Timing may also be a strong impact on the track. If possible, try to get your singers to write or improvise their rhymes to the beats have. Add a few drops in the drum beats and arrangements you give them, and try to drop objects and then return them to the MC rhymes to promote their performance. MC result these changes the emphasis on intelligent lyrical embellishments, and for the same reason, actuallyMC will use qualified, often use long strokes, fire and hammered relentlessly deliveries. The important thing to remember is that hip-hop is all the power as much as any rock concert live from the beat changing and evolving changes to the styles. Their beats and grooves are the stage and sets, it follows that if you change the sentence, the power is adapted and follow him.
SCRATCHES SKILLZ
Bring the art of turntablism tracks
Zerozero is not really at all. And 'in fact, saw the first type of hands-on manipulation of the samples, the world has ever known. DJ as new, are easy to play certain sounds back and forth at different speeds, and controlling the result is a volume control, cross-fader or switch, which makes them unique effects. Over the years, these techniques have become more complex, and today the world's best DJs are able Sratch services that can only be described as a ghostblowing - even if your not interested in scratching. You can join sounds, patterns and melodies that hard to believe that there is nothing more than the interaction of a needle on a record in one hand and on-off switch for the audio to make another.
Since the early days of hip-hop DJs are adding scratches on discs, and nothings changed. If you added a scratch out loud in order to obscure oath in a radio mix, scratch bass drum in a short time as the introduction orpercussive variations, or scratch to create a section of a cappella choir or improve one, scratching a valuable tool. To prove it, even if you can not have bridges, use the software. Just be sure to get the permission of the sample for you to sing!
STEPS placing SCRATCHES
1-If you go, even to zero, I for one area of the track, appearing as a kind of hyped needs. This will generally take place after the second verse or the chorus, I use scratchas a rhythm instrument, as well as pursuing a kind of rhythm guitar.
2-If you have more than one reason to the track in your song arrangement is very important. It 'all too easy to pile on the slopes zero until the whole song is blocked and cluttered. Sometimes, less is more. Remember that!
In 3-tracks available scratch Panning is an effective tool for the separation of action and provide the illusion of movement. This ensures that all the scratches are not lost in theMix and provides a level of anxiety, stress.
HIP-HOP PACKET
A simple compact arrangement is essential in Hip-Hop
The rule of thumb, hip-hop arrangements are easy! Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, chorus, outro, and perhaps a break in the middle or eight, depending on the song. Occasionally you can hear songs that kick in the strait, but above all it is a short introduction, the introduction themelves singers or tell you why this line is the $ hit-or-nothingotherwise the track frame, and works well. Always remember the word "MC" stands for Master of Ceremonies, his work there to get the audience excited and keep them interested. Remember, if you do your songs.
Other variants are intro and outro scenes, a lot of songs just fade out at the end, use your creativity to come up with unique finishes to your songs.
EDITS
One of the most effective tricks for hip-hop elements sinks and agreements of the lastbar or defeat of a section. This emphasis is on singing, and can often be used to make a fun or particularly good lyrical climax.
The history of this type of treatment can be moved at the time as a live hip-hop should be traced on two turntables and a mixer. As with all hip-hop production techniques, this provision is used tricks to highlight the groove and the general atmosphere of the song.
The elements can fall down for everything from samples, beats, or evenall but one of them. The aim is to build enthusiasm and interest in people. This trick works particuarly well on the dance floor, dancing always the audience to sing along with the drops and the corresponding song.
HIP-HOP MIX
If you want bangin tracks that you need to do better, that right mix
Common sense suggests that with a lot of songs requires a more complicated mix of superior skill, but this is not necessarily true. Mix running back is a minimal riskempty or thin. With hip-hop is the problem with the fact that an excessive delay or reverb and swamps often interrupts mixed carefully crafted grooves, so that it can be avoided is usually best tight.
Make sure to layer your drums, so you have the weight and punch. If your rock bass line, but you do not hear the shots, try to keep the football before the first decisive reduction of the low, or flooding the mix with a heavier kick.
Next, try nudging from a few decibelsfrequinces occupied by your hand, typically in the range 300 Hz-3 kHz. You will find that cutting certain frequencies in this little space on your lead sounds, that actually make it stronger and clearer.
And finally, the most obvious of all - if you can not sit down a note to the right in the mix, replace it!
