Hive Beat Blog 1 (Lo-fi)

in Music2 years ago

Hi everyone, I'm here again doing random things, for today's trippings, I decided to make a beat in Fruity Loop Studio.

Basing on my mood this morning, I selected to do a lo-fi type beat using one of cymatics sample.

The sample I used is called oceanside in E major and has an 80 BPM, I choose this one because of it's calm and relaxing sound.

The sample is a bit short because it is only 2 bars worth so I doubled it to cover at least the four bars loop.

Next step is selecting the right sounds to be used as drums, it should be somewhat crispy but still relax sounding drum components.

In selecting drums, I always start picking the snares because for me it sets a proper rhythm, then I choose hats then lastly the kicks, after that I'll listen again to see if added sounds is needed like some cymbals or crash.

After completing some patterns, I then do some minor mixings and sound level adjusting to make the beat not to chaotic.

After doing some mix, I can now add some effects to make the beat more flavorful.

Then I'll arrange the whole beat into a full beat that has a intro, chorus and verse parts.

After all is done, I usually render it in mp3 or WAV format, but for today I found an option to render it into video format.

This is my basic process in making some beats, it really depends on the mood, but often times I really just make beats and music just to relax my mind.

Here is the 3speak link to the final beat enjoy! :
