I've been making beats since late 2001 and I honestly thought about giving it up because I didn't feel like there was anyway I could get a hang of producing trap music.
In trap music you might be setting up 2 different hi hats, a snare and a clap, and several kick drums that are going up and down a scale some of time with 8 measures or more worth of change ups. Some folks are putting damn near full orchestras in trap beats, along with all the other synthesizers leads, organs, and pianos you'd expect in southern music.ĭrum programming can be a nightmare as well, instead setting up a 1 hi hat, 1 kick, 1 snare with maybe 2 - 4 measures worth of change ups. They often are harder to mix than old-school east coast style beats because of the crazy amount of instruments & sounds you can put in them. You are already in the Hip-Hop forum, on top of that you click the trap thread, then you bash it? Hypocrites.Īnyways I found the best way(for me) was to listen and dissect songs from big trap producers like Lex Lugar.who happens to have come from fruity loops to producing one of Kanye and Jay-z biggest songs on the watch the throne album.(That one was for the haters)I think a lot of people that were producing before trap beats became mainstream dislike it because it has to be done so completely different than the beats that they've been producing. I dont understand the hate on trap music.
