5 Tips to Creating Professional Sounding Trap Beats.

  1. Set the tempo: The tempo of a trap beat is usually between 100-176 BPM, with 140 BPM being the sweet spot 1. This helps you decide the vibe of your beat, whether you’re making a club-ready party anthem, a soulful trap ballad, or something in between.
  2. Use simple harmonic and melodic loops: Melody and harmony are also there to help set the tone for your song. Trap music tends to be dark and ominous, so producers often use minor chord progressions and minor arpeggios for the melodic lines. Whether you’re recording it yourself or sampling melodic material, pay attention to the timbre of the sounds you use 1.
  3. Add a simple hi-hat pattern: A staple of trap music is to have hi-hats that feature a lot of rhythmic subdivisions. Start by tossing in a simple eighth-note pulse to give your beat some initial bounce 12.
  4. Use 808 basses: 808 basses are a staple of trap music. They are deep, punchy, and have a long decay. You can use them to create a solid foundation for your beat 23.
  5. Experiment with sound design: Sound design is an essential part of creating a unique sound. Experiment with different sounds, effects, and processing techniques to create your own signature sound 14.
