                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, I wanted to highlight the 6 best places to download free midi files online when it comes to hip-hop music production, of course there are many different MIDI files resources online, but here I wanted to highlight some of the best ones.</p>
<p>When it comes to hip hop production, midi files can help in achieving some outstanding melodies and melody chord progressions.</p>
<p>Personally I have used midi files many years ago, in fact almost over a decade ago, and there are many great music production resources online which can help when it comes to composition. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://midiklowd.com/hip-hop-trap-midi-packs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1. <strong>Midiklowd - 8 Free Midi Packs</strong></a></p>
<p>8 different trap and hip-hop royalty-free midi file packs, which all contain different styles of midi melodies and chords designed for modern music producers. I have downloaded the Trap Midi Melodies myself, and it comes with some outstanding modern compositions.</p>
<p>I did have to enter my email, where I received my secure downloads, and it all worked flawlessly! I also imported the midi files into FL studio, and they all loaded up as they should.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. <a href="https://ghostaudiofactory.com/midi-drumbeats-free" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>4 Drum Midi Packs for Hip-Hop Producers by ghost-audio-factory</strong></a></p>
<p>When it comes to modern hip hop drum Midi Files, <a href="https://ghostaudiofactory.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ghost audio factory</a> have instant downloadable midi files which preload instant drum pattern into the piano roll, the only downside to this is the piano roll midi drum pattern will need to be correctly positioned within the piano roll. I would recommend this for any hip hop producers who are looking for live industrial drum patterns, as well as modern midi drum patterns.</p>
<p>To be honest, the collection could be a bit bigger when it comes to drum pattern selection, but these are free to download, so well worth checking out!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. <a href="https://essentialmidi.com/en-gb/products/free-hip-hop-midi-pack" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Free Hip Hop MIDI Pack with 80 free midi files</strong></a></p>
<p>Yes! These are very good melody, drum pattern and chord progression midi files for hip hop producers, I have personally registered, and downloaded the midi files to try this midi files pack out, all I can say is that the download works well, but you will need to register and create a free account with essential midi, I tried to enter my email to download these, and when I received the file, I couldn't download them, because I had to create a free account, but once I created a free account the download was flawless, so this works 100%!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4. <strong><a href="https://groovemonkee.com/pages/beat-farm-free-midi-beats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hip Hop Beats 1</a> </strong>(10 free hip-hop drum midi file)</p>
<p>If you scroll down the page their provided list of free to download MIDI files which are instant download, no registration is required, they have a MIDI files called "Hip Hop Beats 1" which are free to download and free to use, some nice and simple hip hop drum pattern compositions, will need to be imported into the piano roll within the DAW. I have personally tested the download, and it worked correctly and as it should, was instant. </p>
<p>These guys also have;</p>
<ul>
<li>Chilled beats midi files suitable for many chilled tracks.</li>
<li>They also have different genre midi files for pop, rock and funk, in case anyone is interested.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Looking for full Hip-Hop songs Midi Files?</strong></p>
<p>Also, If you're looking for full hip hop song melody style midi files, which should be used to gain inspiration in my perspective since they provide full melody, which has already been using within the music industry. <strong><a href="https://www.nonstop2k.com/midi-files/trending/rnb-hip-hop-rap-soul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nonstop2k</a></strong> provide 5 free midi downloads per day for free accounts. I tested this and registered with them and downloaded my 5 free midi files, they all work correctly and as they should.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Premium Extras</strong></p>
<p>Also, there are some premium options for midi files which are located on <a href="https://slooply.com/midi/free" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sloppy</a> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hope you like my hip-hop MIDI selection!</strong></p>
<p>Personally, I have tested all of these listed above and they all work correctly, the download is secure either direct or secure with email, of course I was able to locate lot more online, but this is my selection which I would redeem safe and mainly useful for modern hip hop and rap music producers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, if you are interested I have created my first <a href="https://justproducer.com/community/midi-templates/download-10-free-hip-hop-trap-midi-melody-pack/"><strong>10 melody MIDI kit with 10 melodies for hip-hop and general trap</strong></a> genre style of modern music producers, check it out!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <title>Claps or Snares for Modern Hip-Hop Production?</title>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, this is an interesting topic I wanted to write about, do people still use claps or snares when it comes to modern hip-hop production? </p>
<p>Being a modern music producer for over a decade and producing many hip hop instrumentals which you can check out on <a href="https://www.beatstars.com/pavbeatz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BeatStars</a>, I would like to share some crucial information which I have learned from the past.</p>
<p>If there's anyone asking themselves on what<strong> should I use?</strong> <a href="https://samples.landr.com/packs/claps" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Claps</strong></a> or <strong><a href="https://www.echosoundworks.com/eswtrapsnaresv1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Snare</a> samples</strong>?</p>
<p>Then I have the answer for you based on being a hip hop music producer for over a decade. My simple answer is,<strong> it's all based on what style of hip hop track you are trying to produce!</strong></p>
<p>Yes, it's as simple as that, to be honest at a point I used to mix claps and snares at the same time, overlapping them for dirty south style of genre beats when I was producing back in 2014, these were a big inspiration within the music industry.</p>
<p>But <strong>when it comes to selecting Claps or Snares</strong>, I would recommend the hip-hop music producer to ask these question listed below.</p>
<ul>
<li>The sub-genre of hip-hop beats which you are trying to produce, what is the usual sample within this genre, is it a clap or a snare?</li>
<li>Depending on the sub hip-hop genre you are producing, if you listen to 10 different tracks/songs online within the genre you are producing what do you hear? Snare? Or a clap?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Now depending on the results above, you should stick to a similar style of clap or snar</strong>e.</p>
<p>This helps allot when trying to produce sub-genre hip-hop beats, because these sub-genre hip hop composition usually have a certain patterns and structures, which uses certain instruments, certain kicks, certain snares, certain claps and the list goes on.</p>
<p>Here is a <a href="https://unison.audio/hip-hop-subgenres/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list of some hip hop sub-genres</a>.</p>
<p>Personally, In my opinion, it all about planning the actual sub-genre which the music producer is producing, you see each sub-genre for example, trap beats, dark trap beats, UK drill beats, mellow story telling beats, boom bap beats, 808 beats and artist inspired style of beats. All of these have a sub-genre (within hip-hop) which has a certain type of tempo, instruments, drum pattern layouts and virtual instrumental patterns.</p>
<p>So listening and gaining inspiration from similar hip-hop sub-genre compositions, is not only crucial for all music producers in my opinion, but also important when someone is trying to produce a certain type of hip-hop beat. This is my personal opinion.</p>
<p>I hope this will help all upcoming hip-hop producers make the correct choices when it comes to hip hop production. Best of luck in your hip-hop compositions!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys I wanted to share my opinion about <a href="https://www.synchroarts.com/vocalign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vocalign VST</a> plugin released by LANDR, I know this is just a personal opinion, but honestly I never thought there would be a VST plugin which aligns vocals automatically.</p>
<p>I mean this plugin will allow the users to add all their vocals, with vocal layers, and then sync and align these either based on timing, strength or pitch.</p>
<p>This process is completely automatic and can be modified with on-screen modulations, I mean it able to align certain pitch within the vocals within the stack to match other pitch tracks. Easily change the pitch of vocals.</p>
<p>Check out the video below which shows more features in real-time.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9TVE5TiDC4</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>My personal opinion about Vocalign VST Plugin!</strong></p>
<p>Personal opinion I prefer using the <a href="https://www.mymixmaster.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-mix-a-home-recording/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traditional way of mixing and mastering vocals</a>, and that's by using manual tools, playlist and moving the vocals into place.</p>
<p>This is something which has been done for centuries, and also most certainly, this is a process which has consumed some time to perfect, and some time to get everything aligned correctly.</p>
<p>I guess the times have changed, with so much <a href="https://www.production-expert.com/production-expert-1/how-ai-is-changing-music-production" target="_blank" rel="noopener">automation and artificial intelligence</a>, its seems like we have got lazier when it comes to music production and deeply depend on automation tools. But, I guess it has its perks of quicker working, quicker vocal sync, and less struggle trying to align the vocals into the correct position.</p>
<p>But, yes! I am quite impressed with how quick and easy it is to align the vocals with the show match options with different styles and input attributes of the vocals, with so much less effort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What can Vocalign be used for?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Easily align multiple vocals to match each other within the vocal stack.</li>
<li>Alter or change the pitch of vocals.</li>
<li>Comes with build in presets for quick and fast vocal mastering.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>I wanted to know what you guys think? Is <strong>Vocalign </strong>the way forward for vocals to be mixed and mastered, I mean it's being used by many professional companies, I guess these guys would use it to align vocals when it comes to TV and game design. </p>
<p>I can also see how professional music producers working with artist would use this to get a professional vocal alignment within their composition, comes with multiple matching options and multiple vocal timing attributes.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>YES! It's as simple as that, the web URL will automatically turn into a <strong>YouTube video, once the page is saved! Our text reply editor will always show the URL during edit mode, not the video, but once the video is saved it will be visible as a video! Also, </strong>don't worry too much if it will appear or not, you will be able to edit this later on if you're not sure what you're doing, just make sure you add the whole YT URL, and it should work (show up) once saved 100%!</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main question I want to talk about today is drum kits VS drum machine VST plugins, which is actually better? And what do people actually use?</p>
<p><strong>My personal opinion and preference</strong></p>
<p>As a music producer who has been producing for almost 20 years, well started when I was 16, so I let you guys guess my age, yes I am an old, in fact I have gray hair which has started growing on my face. Time has flown so quick, and..... yes, anyway dint start producing professional till over a decade ago.</p>
<p>I have always stuck to using sampled (WAV) style drum samples, and have never ever constructed an instrumental or a beat composition using any drum machine VST plugins.</p>
<p>Now I know this is bad, since I have fully loaded MPC on my midi keyboard and should be using it with drum machine VST plugins.... right?</p>
<p>The truth is, actually no, it's all based on personal preference for me, everyone has their own way of making music, it's a form of art, and it all depends on the users' preference in my opinion.</p>
<p><strong>My personal choice</strong></p>
<p>I mean I love using drum kits such as <a href="https://unison.audio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unison</a>,<a href="https://www.loopmasters.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Loopmasters</a> and <a href="https://cymatics.fm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cymatics</a>, since these are main game players when it comes to sampled kicks, snares, hi hats, percussions and etc, they have loads of great free drum kits and constructions kids with many great samples and loops to use for any style of projects.</p>
<p>But also there are some awesome drum machine style (VST) kits which I have used in the past but never actually composed a single track/project using them, drum machine VSTs from <a href="https://www.ujam.com/beatmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UJAM the beat maker series</a> for instance, these were actually given to me by UJAM couple of years ago, a free promotion which I don't for them on my YouTube, in fact; they sounded phenomenal, but I found that using my own library of samples was a more comforting choice.</p>
<p><strong>Will I ever use drum machine VST plugins?</strong></p>
<p>The truth lies within the destiny of the future, I mean I am not too sure about this and still optimistic, I like the way I currently use sampled drum samples within construction kits, I tend to find these have higher quality and more manipulation editing options.</p>
<p>But there are some very cool drum machines which I wanted to try, but the sounds they provide are limited, and don't offer much versatility when it comes to editing them. Saying that, some of the newly developed <a href="https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc_drum_machine_collection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drum machine VST plugin</a> comes with tonnes of features, but they are quite expensive!</p>
<p>I wanted to see what other music producers think?</p>
<p>What is your choice? Drop a reply to this topic below, would be interesting to see what other music producers think and prefer!</p>]]></content:encoded>
