Most of today's beat software is very easy to use. The difficult part is having enough focus and endurance to produce your tune. People can't keep focused for more than a few minutes without being distracted. This is why being passionate about your work is so important to create something worth listening to. Being in the mental state that knowing what you are doing with yield favorable results and that your actions are fully worth your time will keep you on the right path.

To create a creative and catchy beat we must understand what this actually means. All this means is that we create a beat that sounds pleasant to a listener making various states of feelings and emotions. It is purposefully created to pull in the audience to listen to the song.

When speaking of inducing various states out of your audience recall the studies on classical music that found that people listening to classical felt calmer and thus better able to concentrate on various tasks. This is due to the brainwave states that classic music creates. This causes slower brainwaves that allow the person to feel calmer and focused. A lot of music is made to induce some sort of brainwave state varying from happiness to full bodied adrenaline. The way the sounds are assembled entrances the listener and help to create these different brain states.

This beat should be pleasant to you and those closest to you. This is why it is good to have friends and family help you edit your song. Listen and have open regard for their comments and recommendations. Just keep it in your head that this is yours, no one elses. You shouldn't change your song.

We will now talk about how to make your beat. The first thing you should think about is the type of music you want to work with since this will determine what your beat will sound like.

Making your base line is your next step. The base line is the beat that affects the rest of your song so you should spend a little more time on this. Upon creating the initial base beat you should loop it letting it repeat throughout your song.

Instruments and drums are next. Considering how many variations of various drums and instruments sounds you can use, this is the part where you can get really creative. You can add instruments such as piano keys and violin strings or throw a snare and hi hat for the drums. Any combination that fits what you like.
