If music be the food of love, play on; (DUKE ORSINO, Twelfth Night)
One of the easiest ways to create music and make a beat is to use the Hydrogen Drumming Machine (available for various OS like Windows, Linux; comes integrated into UbuntuStudio). You can find it here : http://hydrogen-music.org/
The challenge is to create a simple beat using the software. You can install the software from the link given above and start exploring.
It is not a difficult software to use, things are pretty straightforward and if you have an experience in creating beats or music in other DAWs, it will be a cakewalk.
To be objective, the sound part is really good but the Mathematics part needs some tuning.
Answer this - What is the purpose of a beat in a song?
Beat basically provides a timeline. The drummer is the time keeper of the band. Without a drummer (or a percussionist) the pleasing sounds of a melody may turn to cacophony.
This software, or any other beat making software for that matter, helps us visualise the beat. This means that even if you are not a trained musician, you can still produce a beat if you have a beat in your mind.
ICT helps us in many ways. It is one one of the ways to help a musician of a layman like you and me to express what is in our mind. This is one of the purposes of ICT in education. Moreover, its always advisable to use Free and Open Source Software for education, which Hydrogen incidentally is.
Lets improve your beat. Kindly post screenshots of the patterns that you made and we will try to correct it so that it sounds better. Keep it up.
@Siddharth7950 Please allow access to the file.
Try exporting the project as an ogg vorbis file which is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality.
Its easier to upload .ogg file in the chat than to create a drive link. I hope other budding musician will also do the same.
Beat balances a song. it gives a background to the song. Only voice will be heavy or low when hearing. And a beat balances it by giving it a background.
Hello Everyone,
