Making Hip Hop Beats With Instrumentals # 18 - Scars Of Time ( FREE DOWNLOAD)

For this instrumental hip hop beat, I started off with a Bright Concert Piano KW sound that was located in the VSTi plugin Sample tank. As you can see in the above screenshot, I laid down the main pattern for the main melody. You can hear this sound when the instrumental music begins.

After I laid down the foundation sound to get the instrumental music going, I then started to work on the drums for the beat. I like to keep my drum patterns simple because it allows the melody to flourish. Some of my beats have simple drum works and some have complicated drum patterns with a lot of break downs. It all depends on the type of vibe that I'm getting off the beat. Make sure to listen to what your instrumental music is telling you when you are creating it because music speaks to us and if you can't hear your own music that you are creating then you're going to have a tough time bonding with your own creation in my opinion.

To add some more drama to the theatrical instrumental hip hop beat, I added these Spiccato Strings found in the Hypersonic VSTi. These strings are helping out the main melody to the instrumental, can you see it in the pattern in the screenshot? I added these strings because I thought the instrumental need a little bit of theatrics, I love a good cinematic sound in my instrumentals. These are the only short strings you're going to hear in the instrumental hip hop music.

I also manage to add some SQ Strings out of the VSTi plugin purity to add to the cinimatic vibe of the track. I think these strings did the instrumental justice! This sound is also one of my favorite sounds to use when creating an instrumental beat. I just like how cinematic it sounds. If you're keeping up with my post then you should know by now that I love cinematic type of sounds that make an instrumental sound theatrical. These are the only long string sound that you'll going to hear in this instrumental track.

The main sound that made the brought the instrumental to it's fullest potential were these german accordions found in the VSTi plugin hypersonic. Without this special sound in the beat, it wouldn't have sounded the way it did right now!

You know I couldn't forget about the world famous SUB BASS from the VSTi plugin Hypersonic. It's not really world famous, I just said that because I'm always using this sub bass for most of my instrumental hip hop music beats or in other genres of instrumentals that I create. This bass line is basically going along with the melody of the beat, can you hear it? This bass is what gives the instrumental beat it's bump, very hard to miss if you have some good headphones or speakers in general.

The last sound that I incorporated into this instrumental was a sound called FAT Draken 2 out of the VSTi purity. This is the only synth sound that stands alone in the instrumental beat. This is the main synth sound that you will hear at 16 second mark in the hip hop rap beat, You can't miss it. This sound comes in right before the 2nd bar is going into the 3rd bar with the other supporting sounds that creates the instrumental hip hop rap music beat!
