Beat Making

Unlike music producers, who make all kinds of music including metal, jazz, R&B, classical, when we refer to the “beat making” category here, it’s usually freelancers who almost always make hip-hop or rap music. A beatmaker operates mainly the DAW, MIDI instruments to create original, type or chorus beats. Beats also come in different moods from bouncy, energetic, happy and inspiring to sad, dark, intense, soulful or chill. Additionally, beatmakers can also provide mixing & mastering or separated tracks.

Depending on their experience and the instruments and kit they use, many freelance beatmakers on Fiverr can also compose, record and mix loops or sound kits for your songs or beats. They can do it in over 16 genres incl. Trap, Hip-Hop, Rap, LoFi, House and Techno and provide either melodic or percussive sound types. So whether you need a guitarist, piano or drum player to record your loops or sound packages, you can find a variety of freelancers.

Apart from reading about the freelancers, checking their reviews and asking for a sample pack, you can also do some research on streaming services such as Spotify and Youtube Music to find out about their published songs with other artists. Don’t forget to ask them about what kit they use and their experience depending on what type of instrument you need the beat or loop recorded on e.g. keyboard, turntables, digital samplers, synthesizers, sequencers, drum or tape machines.

It’s best to always contact the freelancer before placing an order to agree on the details of what you need to provide in order to speed up production times. For most gigs, you will be asked to give your seller at least the type of sound and vibe you prefer, the genre and BPM. Most freelancers will also ask you to share references from which to take inspiration and will agree with you on the copyright and intellectual property details.

Make sure you specify and agree on the recording length in seconds, the number of sounds as well as how many revisions you’ll be offered and the delivery time. Always discuss beforehand as part of your order whether the music will be royalty-free for any use, including commercial and without any obligations or credits. Keep in constant communication when revisions are due and give your feedback in a timely and clear manner.
