When Hip-Hop Samples are obnoxiously Loud

To be able to grow as a DJ, one needs to have full control over the rudiments, have a knack for selecting good music and in the process develop a unique style of your own.
More than 65% of songs in hip hop have a very heavy bass, very limited dynamic range and with some degree of distortion. In the urge to produce something original, music composer’s end up creating something that comes across as confusing. If creating completing original is not your agenda, consider trying out some drum loops to add some kickass drum beats.
Let’s find out the reasons why hip hop samples, sometimes are abnormally loud.
1. Control on going excess
Most beginners start out at making music by trying to use all the extra plug-in and pieces of tech available. They go out and pick up every damn set of guitar loops or drum loops they can find for free.
Remember, the purpose is to market your product as the ultimate product that comes across as most fresh and full of life. By adding too many gears and plug in without proper knowledge will make processing of you music difficult to handle. First become a master of few to be able to manage your work flow better.
2. Loud does not imply better
The worst thing that you can do a hip hop track is insert a club track reference in it. All the hard work that has gone in mixing the tract, precise tweaking of every knob, parameter, will sink because of the thumping of the professional type. The thumping mixes most composers feel are very frustrating and need to be introduced in precision. Try to look for a middle path when trying to make tracks loud. Excess use will only come across as distortion, loss and just sound like pumping sounds. Try to prevent squashing your tracks by exercising control. Even pro guitarists practicing with guitar loops would agree to that, really!
3. Presets are easy
The right approach to preset is by careful organization of the extension, samples and sample packs. You can either use them as the ultimate option or believe they are the only way to good production. Like any other music the motive of hip hop music should be to give artistic satisfaction to the audience and the composer. An easy method to use samples and presets without making it too loud is to creatively mix different genres that are not related in a traditional manner. Hip hop samples are always synced successfully with techno tracks. The sync created by merging two different worlds is always exciting and novel.
4. Control over volume levels
A song without the right decibels of music can come across as horrendous to the listener. Mismatched volume levels are the most common error in hip hop samples. Be very particular about your volume levels at low, high and midi levels. The highs in hip hop need to be selected carefully and the bass should not be too heavy and take special note of the next low.
5. Listen carefully
The only way to correct loudness in samples is to listen to them very carefully. For example if you are planning to add a rap drums loop into your hip hop sample, the pay crtical attention to the levels and tones. Add midi or mid-level tones one by one, only if required. To be really sure about the volume, listen to the sample from different devices. Listen with head phones and through speakers to get both the feels.
