How do I start making beats on my computer?

ByPawel Tugeman

These days, even artists express their art through computers. Artists, animators and even actors express it through digital media. Should rappers do too? You just need a decent computer to make a super beat.

Gone are the days when you could only do it in a big and expensive studio. A computer program is a sufficient tool in achieving this goal.

Let’s take a look at the procedure for making a custom beat using the computer itself. It’s our responsibility to make sure this article gives you the basics you need to start creating your own productions. In addition, we will inform you about the required software and then proceed to the next steps.

So let’s start:

Required equipment

The requirements to start making your first bit are pretty easy. The ingredients are a computer (preferably high end), beat making software and some brain and imagination.

Here are the minimum computer specs:

Windows 7 or later operating system
  • 4 GB of RAM (at least)
  • Multi-core processor
  • Good display resolution
  • DVD drive
  • A hard drive with plenty of free space
Other devices and equipment needed include:
  • A good pair of speakers like the Krk Rokit 6
  • A good pair of headphones like the akg K77 Perception
  • external sound card such as Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
  • Digital Audio workstation software such as Fl Studio, Cubase, Ableton, Reason

OKAY! I have! What’s next?

Once you’ve gathered the essentials, you’re just one step away from becoming the next producer. This one step is nothing but the skills you need to acquire.

The easiest and quickest way to get the required skills is to find some online course for making beats, or tutorials that will teach you how to do it. Just watch them and start practicing. Of course, the effects of creating music hits require many years of practice.

The secret of success:

By doing all this, you’ll realize that just collecting gear and learning skills won’t make you a good artist.

To be successful, you need specific determination and a lot of hard work. Also remember that not every artist immediately became a whistle. It was the amount of exercise and willingness to learn and commit that got them where they are now.

Moreover, it is said that failure is the stepping stone to success. Knowing this, you can’t expect to become a star overnight. Therefore, keep learning. Moreover, don’t cry, my love, if you make mistakes or fail.

Mistakes and constructive criticism are very important ingredients on the road to success. So assume your failed productions were part of trial and error, and that criticism is feedback for further improvement. And yes, never give up until one day you suddenly realize that you have achieved the goal you set for yourself.
