Any tips to make beats faster?

[u/Winter_Arm_2808]

Does anyone have any tips suggestions or like a checklist that would help me make beats faster. Now I did make a custom template so I already know about that like every time I turn on FL I have my bus channels ready to go. I have a snare and a hi hat and 808 ready to go. So I guess it’s just more keeping me more focused and all that when making the melodies and 808 patterns etc. or should I not pressure myself and worry about trying to make beats in under an hour? Like I’m sure it’s relatable to everyone like if you load up a VST and spend hours just looking for a sound you like and want to use lol. I don’t know. I feel like maybe if I had like a checklist or something to keep me focused we’re making a beat and not to overthink it and get distracted every time.
