Get creative! Watch some videos of Timbaland in the studio and you’ll see how many interesting sounds he makes himself. Have a microphone? Go record random stuff in your kitchen. No microphone? No problem. Use your iPhone. Using sounds you record yourself can be a really fun and creative way to incorporate more of yourself into your music. I also recommend layering sounds. If you don’t want your tracks to sound like everyone else then don’t use the same samples as everyone else. OR...start with samples you like but layer other interesting sounds on top of them. Think outside the box. In this episode I give you some resources and inspiration to set yourself apart.

I share my tips and tactics in hopes that you don’t have to waste as much time as I did figuring this out. If you’re new to beatmaking I personally use and recommend Ableton Live. You can get a 30-day trial and access my free crash course on Ableton here to get started making beats in 45 minutes or less.
