Make Beats With A Free Remix

The struggle of most up-and-coming music performers is that money is almost always an issue. By being able to create your own beats for free, you will be able to lay down tracks without having to pay an overpriced music producer or outrageous studio fees.


Instructions


1. Download the Audacity program. Audacity is a free music-editing program that is open-sourced and available for download online. With Audacity, you can create sounds by mixing tempo, pitch and much more. (See the Resources section.)


2. Turn on your keyboard and set it to produce drum sounds. Use the microphone to record those sounds onto your computer as MP3 files. Now you have basic sounds to manipulate with Audacity.


3. Transfer the recorded sound files into Audacity. Depending on exactly what you want your beats to sound like, you may also want to look for free MP3 sound effects on the Internet to use (see Resources).


4. Mix your beats. By using Audacity you can tweak your beats any way you like as well as remix the ending music score. You have total artistic control.
