How to Make My Own Beats At No Cost

3. Download a free
digital audio program
for multi-tracking. You
can create
professional beats
using free and open
source software such
as Audacity, Traverso
DAW, Ardour, tractor
and a variety of other
programs.

4. Download free audio loops to
include in your beats. Audio loops
are pre-recorded music and
instrument samples, usually
available for commercial use, that
you can incorporate into your
beats and edit together for
complete, original mixes. A
variety of websites offer archives
of free audio loops, including
Loopasonic and Flash Kit.
Download loops that fit your style
of music. For instance, a techno
artist would want plenty of
synthesized bass
and percussion loops, while a hip-
hop artist might want urban-style
drum patterns and catchy
keyboard sequences.

5. Open your digital audio
program and choose a
tempo, or speed, for your
beat. Your "Tempo“
indicator should appear
on your program's main
browser or in your
"Options" or
"Preferences." A typical
slow jam will fall between
90 and 105 beats per
minute, while a
really fast beat will fall
between 140 and 165
bpm.

6. Begin placing your audio loops into
your mix by dragging the files from
your hard drive directly onto the
project window of your digital audio
program. Place a different loop on
each track, and align your loops so
that they appear directly on top of
another. If you do not know what an
audio track looks like, just look for
the long, stacked horizontal work
spaces that span across the project
window, often indicated by names
like "Track 1" or "Audio Track 3."
Think of them as layers, each of
which holds a different piece of your
beat, such as
drum, bass, keyboards, and effects.

7. Add your own instruments. If you
own keyboards, guitars or other
instruments, you can add a
personal touch to your beats by
plugging the instruments into your
computer and recording your own
riffs and sequences. If you do not
have cables for plugging in your
instruments, you can also record
using your computer
microphone, but the recording will
sound less professional. To
record, just select a blank track on
your mixer and click the "Record"
button. Then record your new
sequence while your beat plays in
real time. Click the "Record"
button a second time when you
finish recording.

8. Edit your tracks. Now that you
have mixed different parts of
your beat, you can add effects
like reverb, echo and various
audio filters.Different
programs offer different
effects, but your options
should appear directly on the
mixer and in your menu
bar, under "Effects," "Tools" or
"Options.“ experiment with
different effects on each track
to get the best mix possible.

9. Save your beat. If
you do not see a
"Save" button on
your mixer, click
"File" on the menu
bar and select
"Save" from the
drop down menu.
