what's the best thing to do after you have a drum loop sorted

the pattern is the amount of bars right? so each loop should be 16? i might be confused proper beginner lol

edit this is pretty long.. i don't understand how producers have the patience for this it's confusing as fuck lol

haha innit

just make 8 bars if u cba, start with a drum loop then throw in a bassline then some sounds at different frequencys ranges (pitches)

or if you watch watch tutorials on how to do synths and all that make the tune and sorta beatbox to yourself how you want the beat to go like i find it easyer that way makes it easier to throw the beat together but yeah just play around a bit mess around with samples first then learn vsti it is hard but keep playing about and you will get there took me a while to start but im getting there lol

First go on youtube and watch a few tutorials then think of the genre you wish to do , i would say only stick to one when you start out .

Probably the best tutorials from an amateur I've seen.

Edit: Agreeing with moss btw, it'll take you about 2 years before you even make anything that you can call music but it's just about having fun making the beats really.

[Jimmy Darmody]

2 years for real lol

Lol, yeah, that's maybe pushing it actually, I started in first year of uni though and I didn't have anyone to teach me and I never looked at tutorials either so that could be why it took me forever.

Best thing to do really is get someone you know to teach you, watch them making a beat and ask loads of questions.

have been using fruity since 2006 and only this year have produced bangers, still learning tbh. basically just fool with it, don't pressure yourself to sound like anything because you likely won't ever, instead do you. do your own bastardized forms of tunes, figure sounds/tempos/rhythm structures that work for you.
