Beats are the backbone of so much great music. We can feel them in our bodies, and they inspire lyrical genius and earworm melodies. Whether we bob our heads along listening on a pair of headphones, or dance along in a crowded concert venue, beats are infectiously fun. Luckily, they’re quick and easy to put together in Hyperscore, too!
In our new tutorial video “How to make a beat in Hyperscore”, we walk you through one process of making a quick four-bar percussion loop. We starts with a few ideas in mind that we wants the beat to sound like – “energetic” and “dance-y” – and use that anchor to inform further decisions in editing the beat. Much of the process is just placing random notes and listening to how they sound, and selectively cutting back based on that. There’s nothing like just diving in and playing around to build one’s musical intuition!
Watch the full six-minute tutorial below. With plenty of room for experimentation, improvisation, personalization and play, you’ll be making your own beats right away. Happy composing!
