To be able to grow
as a DJ, one needs to have full control over the rudiments, have a knack for selecting
good music and in the process develop a unique style of your own.
More than 65% of
songs in hip hop have a very heavy bass, very limited dynamic range and with
some degree of distortion. In the urge to produce something original, music composer’s
end up creating something that comes across as confusing. If creating
completing original is not your agenda, consider trying out some drum loops
to add some kickass drum beats.
Let’s find out the
reasons why hip hop samples, sometimes are abnormally loud.
1. Control on going excess
Most beginners start
out at making music by trying to use all the extra plug-in and pieces of tech
available. They go out and pick up every damn set of guitar loops or drum
loops they can find for free.
Remember, the
purpose is to market your product as the ultimate product that comes across as
most fresh and full of life. By adding too many gears and plug in without
proper knowledge will make processing of you music difficult to handle. First
become a master of few to be able to manage your work flow better.
2. Loud does not imply better
The worst thing that
you can do a hip hop track is insert a club track reference in it. All the hard
work that has gone in mixing the tract, precise tweaking of every knob,
parameter, will sink because of the thumping of the professional type. The
thumping mixes most composers feel are very frustrating and need to be
introduced in precision. Try to look for a middle path when trying to make
tracks loud. Excess use will only come across as distortion, loss and just
sound like pumping sounds. Try to prevent squashing your tracks by exercising
control. Even pro guitarists practicing with guitar loops would agree to
that, really!
3. Presets are easy
The
right approach to preset is by careful organization of the extension, samples
and sample packs. You can either use them as the ultimate option or believe
they are the only way to good production. Like any other music the motive of
hip hop music should be to give artistic satisfaction to the audience and the
composer. An easy method to use samples and presets
without making it too loud is to creatively mix different genres that are not
related in a traditional manner. Hip hop samples are always synced successfully
with techno tracks. The sync created by merging two different worlds is always
exciting and novel.
4. Control over volume levels
A
song without the right decibels of music can come across as horrendous to the
listener. Mismatched volume levels are the most common error in hip hop
samples. Be very particular about your volume levels at low, high and midi
levels. The highs in hip hop need to be selected carefully and the bass should
not be too heavy and take special note of the next low.
5. Listen carefully
The
only way to correct loudness in samples is to listen to them very carefully.
For example if you are planning to add a rap drums loop into your hip
hop sample, the pay crtical attention to the levels and tones. Add midi or
mid-level tones one by one, only if required. To be really sure about the
volume, listen to the sample from different devices. Listen with head phones
and through speakers to get both the feels.
