i got a keyboard awhile bacc, and been tryin to make beats for awhile, seems everything i make aint tight, and the creative process is hard for me, couple people said i can fix this problem by actually learning to play and learn what nots im playin/hearing, couple said to just mess around till i get sumthin tight, and some went on bout somthin like music theory that i didnt understand, what are yur thoughts on this.

I have some tips.
Start with a 2 or 4 bar Drum loop.
Find some sounds you think are good and Edit them or use them like there are
It's hard to say what you need to do but you need to Hear alot of music.. I played alot of Rap beats and would take notes and how they put there Drums togetter or how many times there use the same sound in a song or on a album and how they would edit it and make a new sound form it.
and don't put to much on you're self to make a Sick beat at first. Play around and see what happenps thats what do.
I should have some beats done soon so you can hear what i do.

i got an mpc 3000 and jp8000, and a motif rack--------but---------I still buy beats why cause I refuse to put anything that aint up to par on my projects, i got some cool shit I give away for free.I bought 30 beats from raw steel if you bought the thuglords album he did 44 mag glock, and lets flip her, also did shit with gangsta, a grip of shit with eiht, ren, above the law,imx etc etc.to me I would do almost anything to be as tight as him,i asked him if i learned to play piano would that make my beats tighter his answer-no.He said he knew alot of cats who was genius with the keys but when it came to makin beats they was garbage( he is self taught) it has to be in you
see i know some people that are savage on the keys, so its a go that ima learn even if it dont help, cause i spent some cash on the fuccin instrument so even if i cant make beats with it ima do sumthin so i dont waste money, anyways, anyone know any good sites for learning music theory, ive made hella threads like this in other boards as well, everyone says i need music theory so thats what i wanna do
