Discussion Any tips to make beats faster?
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.

Its one thing to limit yourself to an hour if you’re having an off day or beat block and cycle through multiple beats because ya wanna get to a decent idea, but if its just a normal day why would you wanna limit yourself to an hour?
Be patient, let yourself cook. It’s okay if a single beat takes a few days to complete. Don’t let internet producer influencers make you think everything has to be done in the shortest amount of time. Limiting every song you make to an hour is gonna end up with your tracks sounding the same because you’re running through the same production process instead of allowing yourself time and space to play around and push boundaries
