Adding The Feel To Your Hip Hop Music

By Delroy Wilkins


Learning and mastery of sound is an essential part in music production. However, the learning of how to mix sound in music is not the only thing to do when it comes to hip hop music production though it does play a vital role. You should also learn how to add some feel into the hip hop track. The feel in music is a way to express yourself in the song. In most cases, the feel should overshadow the quality of sound. The feel in a song is created by 3 main things, the punch, balance and the image of the instrumentals used. When creating the feel in your beats, these three elements need to be taken into consideration.

Incorporate groove. Music is listened to with the ears but, the groove of the track is felt by the body. Instrumentals lacking groove will not connect with listeners. Groove influences the choice of whether to listen to a track and dance to it. With groove incorporated in a track, listeners will listen to it even if it lacks quality.

2. Use unbalanced beats to your advantage. When there are elements that step on another, the instrumentals give a good feeling. Keeping one of the keys unbalances is also a great way to build tension in a mix. You can use the imbalance to create a climax and bring it back to balance levels for the release. Using the imbalance is a great way to direct the listener's attention to a sound.

Add depth to create an image. Listeners will have a vivid picture when they listen to a track. To make this image even clearer, you should target creation of a 3D image when producing your beats and instrumentals. To create depth, you can use techniques such as interchange of the singers or using resonance to create a spacious effect. Emotion within a song is created using depth.

Song arrangement during transitions. Hip hop benefits a lot from variety. Tracks that are too plain and repetitive will fail to capture and audiences attention. Before and after any change within the track, there should be dynamic transitions which won't break the flow of the song. These should blend in well with other parts of the song. Changes are one important part of the track. You should therefore focus on the use of instrumentals to mark these changes within your song.

5. Make Every Moment Special. The song is a series of beats and each of those is special. You have to work hard to create a mix that will echo not just good music but also emphasize how special it is. Since you are after the feel, work on the track until the mix gives you delightful creeps.
