How To Buy Beats And Instrumentals: Bass

By Delroy Wilkins


Hip hop is one of the music genres popular across different cultures and ages. Hip hop has been around for decades and during this time, has experienced several changes. Despite these changes, old school hip hop and modern hip hop share one thing in common, high energy. Simply put, hip hop ranks among high energy music genres.

One of the major changes that have occurred in hip hop is the way it's created. Computers have contributed a great deal to this change. Beats that would not have been created in the past are being produced through computers. Today, it's much easier to create supporting sounds and make a unique beat using technology. Pro music producers can now easily select from a wide array of techniques to create beats people will like listening to. Techniques of hip hop music creation might have changed, but there's one thing that has not changed a bit. The use of bass has not changed as bass forms one of the key elements that make a hip hop beat sound great. If you want to create beats like the pros do, it's important that you understand how to incorporate bass within the beat.

For hip hop songs, bass is used to create their structure. Bass is used in hip hop to bring harmony within the song giving the beat some sense. A hip hop track without bass simply is not great to listen to. It is not uncommon for listeners to try to add some bass in a hip hop track that was not created with bass. The beat will simply be unpopular to the listener.

Use one of two techniques when adding the bass to your beats. A rhythmic bass is the first technique to consider. The rhythmic element is something that can carry throughout the song. The second type of bass to add is a sustained beat. You can use the bass to fill in a part of your music to keep it going.

While there may be two categories that the bass fits into in hip hop, there are many variations that can be used to change the way that bass sounds. If you use the techniques of layering, stretching and by changing the note, the sounds of your bass will be different throughout your tracks.

The best way to add the bass to your music is one step at a time. Begin with a basic bass sound and start to change it one piece at a time. The changes will help turn your music into something really special.
