While there’s a certain science behind knowing which keys to press in order to create something that sounds good… I have even more in terms of courses downloaded from Udemy and other random websites online.īut thankfully, you don’t have to go through all those books to get the benefits. Trust me, I used to buy a ton of books about the subject… Hell, most of the resources out there practically require you to know how to read sheet music in order to understand the lessons. Go to any forum where producers hang out online and they’ll all tell you that they started making dope beats when they actually took the time to study it. Unless you’re extremely talented, it’s just not going to happen.īefore you can actually start making music, it actually helps to know the theory as to what makes music sound good. (BTW, I should mention that FL Studio is THE tool of choice for a lot of chart-topping hip hop producers today.). Open up Garageband or FL Studio and give yourself 20-30 minutes to make something that sounds good. You can even try it out yourself as an experiment if you don’t believe me.
Since I had zero background in playing music before, I had no idea what I was doing whenever I opened up my beat making software.Īll I’d do was mash on random keys and buttons, hoping to magically come up with something that sounded dope.Īs you can guess, it didn’t work out very well. Never learned how to play instruments like guitar or piano when I was a kid, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re the same. You see, even though I really wanted to make beats, I had absolutely zero formal music training in my life. Which brings us to the first part of this post, and that is… The Importance Of Music Theory When Making Beats
