A lot of the time I hear these wack, eventhough catchy, club record and I tell my self that they are plain simple and easy to do. I have to say that club joints to make people dance are not my cup of tea. But when I try to make a catchy club beat I just can't , i find it so hard to make something catchy.

Do You think so?

Yeah man, I cant make a bangin ass club song for shit, but I could make a story-telling beat like that. It sounds like simple beats, but when I try to create a similar type track, mine doesnt sound as catchy or energizing.

^^^ Really? i dunno maybe its just me.. but its like if i hear it in my head i can get it down

Plus all club Music has 1 formula

Call-Repsonse the instruments just talk and answer each other simple shit

4 bars of work really copy, paste copy and paste.. arrange and drop out a few elements if that its reall simple stuff..

Just go through and and remake what u hear that u like to get a feel of the simpplicity this way u can take that and go on and make your own..

I mean if u can Dance and u make beats.. there should be no problem makin club tracks

i made one the other day @ my first attempt, will post it on the showcase soon...

Its all about getting some crazy ass sounds and cranking them up with effects n distortion n stuff...

The melodies dont have to be complex....man a few stabs are usually much more effective...

I just feel that you gotta make the beat so similar all the way thru, it gets kinda boring without a rapper....

Seriously?!? I find it easier to make other beats than club beats, but i suppose so long as you have the right sounds, club beats are easy to make...

i find it quite easy... actually if i start makin a beat with a powerful synth they always seem to end up like club beats. probably just the nature of the synth.

the best club joints are the simple ones.

sAfE.

edit: its not making a club joint, its making a successful club joint - thats the hard part.

I think that club beats are the easiest to do. I used to do alot of miami bass production before so this type of thing is more or less common place.

I don't think you got what I was talking. It's easy to make a club beat TRUE. But a catchy one??? It's the hardest thing, cuz if it was the easiest then everybody would sell Platinum Records.

^^ thats not true... Its really easy to make something Catchy.. why are u making Music if there nothing catchy about it.. you just like making boring music?

Anyway... just because you can make a Catchy song doesnt mean its gonna get picked up.. you gotta have the connections aswell

i dont get it.. if its in your head how can you not lay it down???

I mean do you even work with Artist?

Can you flow, Can you dance?

Do you have good ears?

Can you Remix?

if you can do any of these Things it should be a Prob to come up wit something Good/ catchy.. i mean all you gotta do is Sit down.. listen to what people these days consider Catchy.. Listen to how the sounds Gel what structures there using. And start makin Kits based on what u like and what you know is hot

Take some Vocals from a Club sound ands remix it.. no i dont mean just toos you little beat over it.. i mean sit down and Build around the vocals.. and if your working with an Artist that has that mainstream or Club flo or you have it urself how can you not make a Track thats fits?

Well then again i guess it all comes down to Ear and Skill.. alot of peope dont even know to play keys chors.. basically they cant play what they hear in there head... Say a catchy Liine and make a Melody that follows its really Really that simple.. listen to how alot of these club hits come from catch sayings and catchy loops

Lil Jon for example i cant spell it but he's sampling trance and takin catch material from rraygay music and putting it in hiphop form...

What is Southern Music?? Techno Slowed down just gotta find what works

it just takes time to develope your ear for that kinda music and people down the tecnique of copying people bullshit if your trying to learn somethin copy it until you understand it.. then you can put your own Twist to it
