When crafting my own beats, I prefer to begin with the bass line. The majority of modern beats can be broken down into only a few standard elements: a kick, a snare, some high-frequency percussion sounds, a bass, and at least one melodic element. In the world of beat-making, where repetition is so prevalent that it can become overwhelming, finding this compromise is especially important. It’s the producer’s job to find the right compromise between variation and repetition to create something that’s interesting but still relatively accessible to a non-musical listener. Without any repetition, the listener doesn’t really have anything to latch onto, which can cause the music to feel unstructured. Without any variation, the listener can get bored (and will likely skip to the next song). Good beat making, in general, is finding the balance between variation and repetition.
