Create Music Beat – Make Your Own Beats

Posted by admin

Down tempo is a smooth style combining slow beats with an ambient style. It’s intended to be relaxing. It’s the electronica equivalent to smooth jazz.

When creating a down-tempo track in acid music studio I recommend setting your BPM fairly low, around 90 to 70. Use slower, hypnotic “groove type” beats, and arrange nice instrumental pieces over it. You can use vocals and other soothing noise in the back ground to help fill out the track.

With downbeat (same thing) its all about being nice and chilled.

Try finding a nice rock style drum loop, or even better a blues or jazz drum loop. Set your beats per minute at about 90 and layer some other light percussion on top. You can use another loop, or you can make it all from scratch. Your call.

Find a nice bass loop that really meshes smooth with the drums. I like to let the bass play louder than the drums, but that’s my style. If you play bass, you will have an advantage in down-tempo music.

Now use some smooth synth loops, or something you play yourself. Make it kinda float over the top of the drums and bass. Try to keep everything smooth and groovy. No sudden changes.

A nice slow acoustic guitar melody works really well for down-tempo. Aim to make something that has your foot tapping along to the beat at a nice slow and even pace.

Just keep the focus on the bass and drums. If you keep to the slow and groovy mindset, you should be good to go.
