![]() ![]() However, this is not always the case because the number of tracks and their quality could be subject to negotiation between you and the record label. Try to duplicate some beats, then make your own ones.How many bars does a rap song have? Theoretically speaking, if you have an instrumental and vocalist in your group, then the number of tracks on your album should be enough to satisfy the legal music industry requirements for a rap song. ![]() Listen to some of the tracks out there you like, and analize them. One could use only a tiny part of a sample, or many, or one that goes over 8 bars. It all depends on the tempo, and the style you`re after. You could even have 32 (crazy ) or none at all. Try to think in bars rahter than in milliseconds. Hip hop is music, and at least some basic musical understanding is essential to make beats. ![]() no offense! best of uldn´t have answered that better.įirst of all hip hop is about feeling the drive of your beat/song and the use of drums and samples (or instruments) to suit that feeling. relying on calculations and numbers will lead you nowhere, as far as i'm concerned. program your hi-hats however it feels right to you. nobody gives a shit what the average tempo or sample length is for a particular style. ![]() my advice is: rely on what you FEEL to craft your beats. as an aside, it'd be much easier to calculate tempo if you used a sequencer that displayed proper musical time vs. I think you can even get PT LE 7 for like $250 with th audio interface now.Īs far as the hi-hats are concerned, your friend's tempo was probably half of whatever you calculated, i.e., around 85 instead of 170. OR pony up less then $100 and get some entry level app. If you're pockets are sewn up, find a freebie app out there. but import them into a soft sampler or direct into your daw's audio bin (or equivalent) and then start LEARNING.īecause right now, you are not learning - you are making mistakes. use cool edit to cut up your audio bites if you want. kinda like using a steak knife blindfolded after being spun in circles 12 times to cut down a tree instead of an axe - got it? you might be using it but it's the wrong tool. Thanks guys!stop making yourself nuts learning to "sequence" in milliseconds. So I guess it's a 2 part question just asking about basics of tempo and sampling length. All very confusing but trying to get it figured out. 350 apart, which makes the tempo around 170 something bpms. 666(120 bpm) apart, right? Well, I went into some files my friend who has been producing for a while had and it seemed he had his hihats spaced about. Now, from what I've read, the typical east coast hip hop tempo is between 90-120 bpm, which equals to spacing the hi-hats between. I use Cool Edit Pro 2, which I know is ancient but its what I've been getting used to. Just wanted to ask what everyone's typical range of length for a sample was? OK so Im brand new to all this and have been experimenting different ways of making beats. if you feel like you're sampling so much of something that you're just ripping it off, then follow that instinct and trim it down.Īs far as the hi-hats are concerned, your friend's tempo was probably half of whatever you calculated, i.e., around 85 instead of 170. if you find a dope sample, use whatever part of it you can make work the best. it should make absolutely no difference whatsoever what the average length of producers' samples might be that isn't the way anyone goes about working. I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but i think you're approaching this from way too much of a technical standpoint. ![]()
